"I do not think 60 Minutes doing this story benefits the democrats at all, except maybe Joe Lieberman. The airing of this piece goes against everything the traitors of the democratic party are saying in the past few months / few years."

Bingo, right on the money.

"It makes them look like idiots."

More than mere "idiots", liars.

Only one word accurately describes they're traitorous behavior.

..."quislings".

I think CBS may be starting to realize that being ultra-liberal is not a good business model.

I wouldn't be so sure. But I think they realize that if they repeatedly paint Iraq as a morass and nothing more, then viewers will tune out.

"Fair warning to the Kurds: do not trust to America for your defense, for all too soon, forces in America that do not love you may gain the upper hand, and abandon you to your fate."

Hell, any temporary American ally that hasn't learned that lesson deserves what they get. We've been abrogating our treaty obligations since the U.S. left the French on the hook back in 1783. We've taken the notion of 'no foreign entanglements' and done the worst we possibly could with it--who would trust an alliance with the American government, a government that, subject to the fickle American public's whims, might leave you hung out to dry?

CBS thinks throwing truth a bone will correct their decades old image of a biased, left wing,anti military broadcast network.

Right.
