And I am sure this had Matt and the Today show producers peeing their pants, last thing they expected to hear from the NYT.

Expected. This vote is to solidify the nutroots and the Left. They KNOW it will be vetoed. IMHO.

Did Lauer forget the old trial attorneys' maxim, "Never ask a question you don't know the answer to!"? :)

I saw this interview and was totally surprised. I couldn't help but think that maybe, just maybe, Mr. Burns' words would "wake up" the Lauers of the world, and maybe Lauer himself.

If the libs and their cohorts in the media get their way and the troops are removed, trust me, you will either never hear about Iraq again(unless Oprah builds a school for girls there) or they will make it sound like it is now Disneyland, The Happiest Place In The World.

bump. Burns is a confirmed Bush hater but he also knows what will happen if we leave before the job is done. This will be a great victory for Iraq and America.

Many of the same crowd that is financing tearful ads on television in an attempt to get the public to demand that Bush stop all the bloodshed in Darfur are also demanding that Bush redeploy our soldiers out of Iraq. I guess they want him to deploy some of them to Darfur.
This is yet more proof that Lenin was correct in calling the western left, "useful idiots", for even as our troops would be getting on planes to depart, the jihadist violence would crank up full steam in Iraq and the bloodshed would be ten times as bad.
How would our useful idiots react in that case? When Jane Fonda was recently asked if she was sorry that when the US walked out on the South Vietnamese, that hundreds of thousands were murdered and an estimated 1 million died in the reeducation camps. She said that was not her concern, the US should have never entered that war to begin with.
That is as good an answer as any we would get from the left should the US seek to "solve" Iraq by walking away from the battle.

Not sure about that; Burns is a pretty known quantity in terms of his views. And Matt was definitely not trying to counter or second guess him.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
One wonders what the effect would be if Burns were free from the countervailing force his liberal mind places on all this information. I sense he was clearly trying hard not to say things that would hurt the dims.
Remove that countervailing force, and there may no limit to the violence done (to the Democrat Leadership position).

I believe one of Bill O'Reilly's guests on last night's show said there would be one million deaths and five million displaced persons if we withdrew from Iraq today.

Good analogy! But he was clearly trying to get the message across, even if he might have been restraining himself a bit.
To: theBuckwheat
That is as good an answer as any we would get from the left I agree that it's about as clear as the Left gets, except perhaps Hillary saying she'll take from those who have and give to those who don't.
Fonda's answers shows her loyalty to any fully altruistic cause, such as saving lives, to be a complete sham. The left has proven again and again that they truly will nonchalantly snuff out lives by the millions--any who oppose, nay, resist (e.g., re-education camp victims) their Communist ways.
The South Vietnamese opposed the Northern Communists long before President Kennedy (D) put the first US advisers in to help the South, thus her unabashed, unrepentant willingness to reflect, even in hindsight on South Vietnamese actually being slaughtered by the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, bares her filthy soul and those of her comrades, e.g., JFnK.

It almost sounds to me like the left is capitulating and starting to swing back to what the President has been saying all along. They have got alot of their power back, so why not go ahead and tell the truth.
