Vieira to Karzai: "A lot of Americans, here, are confused by this, what's going on Afghanistan. They say, 'Wait a minute, I thought we won that war, already and now the Taliban is back? What went wrong?' So I'm asking you sir-" Karzai: "We won." Vieira: "-what's gone wrong? You've won?" Karzai: "Yes, of course we won." Vieira: "What have you won?" Karzai: "The war against terrorism. The liberation of Afghanistan. These guys, the al Qaeda, Osama and their associates were running Afghanistan. Today you're talking to President Karzai, elected by the Afghan people." Vieira: "There's also killings everyday. So how do you reconcile that with this notion we've won?" Karzai: "We have won because we have defeated them from being the government, now they are the runaways. Outlaws. Hiding in the mountains, in caves."

Is she really this vacuous?

[L.N. Smithee]

I guess the Union lost the Civil War because people still fly the Confederate flag.

[Taffini]

in her happy land no one dies and the clouds are made of cotton candy and lemonade flows in the detroit river

[SevenMinusOne]

You can’t hide stupid (sadly for Vieira and NBC).

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

because people still fly the Confederate flag.

In addition people are being killed every day, both in the North and the South.

[Argus]

Another whining backseat driver from the media’s apparently bottomless pool of ignoramuses. We’re in a WAR, honey, why don’t you go get your hair done and leave the important stuff to the grownups.

[Thrownatbirth]

I guess the Union lost the Civil War because...

...after 140 years occupation, we still have federal troops and murder in Virginia.

[Fawn]

For this forum? Yeah :)

[never4get]

What an ignorant, stupid twit.....

[marron]

Karzai has fought a war, defeated his enemies, chased them into the hills, risen to the seat of power, been elected president of his country, and after all of that he finds himself submitting to be interviewed by people who couldn’t find his country on the map 5 years ago, if they could even now.

And still he carries it off with grace and aplomb.

Of course Vieira doesn’t have a clue. If she did, she could never get hired to appear on The View. The demographic they are appealing to make “clueless” a requirement. They are the “undecideds” we have to win over every election season, in case anyone wondered.

Idiocy Unpluged. . .

(meantime, the libs at Columbia are getting a Bible lesson from Ahmadinejad. . .)

[Red in Blue PA]

Using her logic (for lack of a better word) victory can never be achieved!

She must be the morning equivalent of Keith Olbermann.

[Lijahsbubbe]

So now she’s on a morning talk/chatter/entertainment/fluff morning show. Before that, she was on a morning fluff women’s chatter blab show.

Now that she’s on this lightweight weather/entertainment drivel show she’s a policy expert? Any kind of expert? How does she pretend to have any kind of credibility? What a dumb-cluck. How did our society come to this?

Oh yeah, I forgot, she does something like the million dollar pyramid show.

[ishabibble]

Yes! Yes! I’ve still got my trifecta ticket for the Rosie/Perky/Merry Run for the Ratings, but I had come to suspect that Merry was smarter than the other two. Still waiting to collect when Merry queers her deal with the Today show. For me, this is wonderful news. To President Karzi, it was a bothersome gnat.

[JZelle]

Just stick to reading the cue cards Meredith.

[enough_idiocy]

“the libs at Columbia are getting a Bible lesson from Ahmadinejad” lol. I know. His rambling is ridiculous. He’s ranting like OBL, NSA, science, Moses arriving...Jes.

[Lijahsbubbe]

"We have won because we have defeated them from being the government, now they are the runaways. Outlaws. Hiding in the mountains, in caves."

He he. It's pretty funny how he dumbed it down for her at the end here.

Bad guys - outlaws- caves- not the govt. Get it, Meredith? Bwaha

[Badeye]

‘Who ties her shoes for her? ‘

Richard Cohen.

[DoughtyOne]

Please, I beg you, don’t suggest this. You know damn well she’ll glom on to the idea.

[what's up]

There's also killings everyday

Earth to Viera...we have killings every day in the US also.

She's a twit.
