Journalist shares his stark view on war
Baltimore Sun ^ | 12/06/05 | Michael Olesker

Posted on 12/06/2005 7:12:11 PM PST by baystaterebel

Seymour M. Hersh, the famous investigative reporter, brought the fighting in Iraq into the halls of the Park School the other day. Nobody there got wounded, unless they imagined themselves a few years into the future. Hersh, the man who delivered some of the worst news out of Vietnam three decades ago and some of the worst news out of today's Middle East, painted a pretty bleak picture.

"You guys," he said, gesturing to an auditorium packed with about 250 upper-school students, "are going to be the generation that has to clean up our mess. We're leaving you with a real bad time."

"Michael Yon should do that."

We should send him the article.
Maybe he can do something. Maybe Bruce Willis can help.
This is nuts.

"arsehole" is really polite.

Seymour M. Hersh is an old man and could not expect to live in the world that he works so hard to create. A vastly diminished and impoverished America at the feet of Communist China and a new Islamic Caliphate is his goal, too bad he can't live there all by himself.

the "clean up our mess" that this next generation will have to do is paying off the ponzi scheme of entitlements that this guy and his leftist buddies foisted on the US in preparation for the socialist paridise that thankfully was averted by Reagan and Newt.

Hersch is a broken record.

Hersch is a broken record.

Not to the people he just read that garbage to, he isn't. These are school kids. They likely don't know him, or his liberal bent, from a hole in the wall. To them, he is someone the teachers say is important who hates all things american.

You really should put a [BARF ALERT] on anything by Michael Olesker in case any FReepers (or lurkers) are not familiar with him. He is one of two Baltimore Sun Pravda reporters that Gov. Ehrlich declared persona non grata and barred any of his staff from talking to.

May Hersh some day soon be forced to reap the deceit he has sown...and I will have no pity in my heart for him. He is an evil, evil man.

This idiot referred to Ho Chi Minh, back in the day, as a "Nationalist", overlooking his entire career as a Comintern agent. He's a moron.

Hersh is just mad that the FBI investigation into the forged Niger documents will determine that he was complicit with the CIA in trying to rile up the WH by leaking what Hersh himself knew to be a false story: that CIA rogues had manufactured those documents to deliberately muck up the "stovepipe." In fact, we now know the French forged the documents and the CIA took far longer to detect the forgeries than they should have since the forgeries were so blatantly obvious.

Axis Sally could have found work there as a school teacher after she served her WWII conviction of treason.

It was inappropriate to let a biased pundit present a one-sided account of defeatism to students.

Hey kids, question authority including those lunkheads who thought it was a good idea to have this antiAmerican fool lead discussion.
