Everyone, I truly think Ted Koppel is worth listening to this morning.
(Can't believe I'm saying this.)
He's telling them that this war is not going to be over when we leave Iraq however we leave it. It's going to go on for a long, long time. It will just be fought in another way.
I will second that. I never ever thought I could recommend listening to Koppel. He is either on or off his meds. Whichever, he needs to thank his doctor or somebody.
Panel talking about Scooter now. Will anyone talk about Russert's false affidavit?????
Brit: I think the 2 jurors who spoke out, the WAPO reporter said the adjuciation "sucked", and the other one wants a pardon.
Nina: If you use an SP, you are at risk. No underlieing crime. Obstruction of justice for a crime that didn't exist....doubts about the case; SP calling LIbby a liar.
Kristol: Pardon now. Right thing to do. SP said "there is a cloud over the WH and VP". Conviction was unfair. Pardon Libby NOW.
Juan: says Libby should not get a pardon, it would undermine justice.
Brit again: NOTHING WAS FOUND IN THIS CASE...NO CRIME.
Nina: Should SP even have investigated these matters? It is a crimalization of politics....
Kristol: This trial should NOT have been brought. Thinks Bush should pardon him now -- get rid of the cloud by pardoning LIbby. Going after Wilson was ligitimate, he was the LIAR.
Juan: BS. Says if Bush pardon's libby will show no accountability.
Brit: Should wait for pardon until after the next legal maneuvers....new trial and/or appeal.
I'll answer my own question: NO ONE MENTIONED RUSSERT's FALSE AFFIDAVIT. Maybe I'm making too much of it.
(after wild Cindy of course)
35 MORE HOURS UNTIL JACK BAUER AND 24!!
I have to agree, Bahbah.
The good news is...Ted Koppel is a lib...so he isn't getting interrupted and pounded by Fat Timmy.
I PRAY that some of the moonbats that love Timmy's show are paying attention.

My problem with what he said is that the War on Terrorism has been going on for the past 24 years since Hezzbollah attacked the Marine barracks in Beirut. He seems to have forgotten the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979 which is when I mark the War's beginning. This was surprising because that was what brought Koppel and Nightline to the forefront.
Silence from Russert.....
