9-11 Ring A Bell? Donny Doesn't Remember Why We Went Into Afghanistan
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/01/2010 6:14:57 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

How clueless can a guy who lives in Manhattan possibly be?

Discussing the Afghanistan war on Morning Joe, Donny Deutsch claimed "people weren't clear why we were there in the first place."

Uh, Donny . . .

Fortunately, the ever-affable Willie Geist was there to diplomatically offer Deutsch a brief history lesson.

Donny should probably not venture beyond topics that can't be covered in a text message. Let's see....y r we in afghanistan?...9-11. Never mind. I guess that's not a good test. Even Donny should know. Maybe it's too much moose.

Never mind Donny Deutsch. Shepard Smith was asking the same thing the other day: Why are we there?

I can't tell from that clip if Donny Deutsch is an is an idiot or if he is (quite likely correctly) saying that there are a lot of idiots out there who have forgotten 9/11. A third possibility is that we've largely chased Al Qaeda out of Afghanistan into Pakistan and Yemen, therefore the Afghan campaign has become secondary and only against the thugs in the Taliban.

Deutsch doesn’t suggest people have forgotten. To the contrary, he states “people weren’t” clear why we were there in the first place. In other words, they were never clear.

That Willie Geist, who doesn’t go out of his way to show up guests, thought it necessary to remind Deutsch of 9-11 clearly indicates that Geist felt Deutsch had forgotten his history.

Here is something I have encountered twice now with young liberals: they equate remembering 8-11 with propaganda. The second time I ran into it occurred during the discussion of a WWII novel. It accurately quoted the original saying:

Loose lips might sink ships.

The liberal marveled at that, saying, since when is propaganda equivocal? Her example was, ‘Almost always remember 9-11.’

As if a security slogan and remembering our own dead amount to propaganda. Things are far worse in our public schools than we have yet fathomed. Add to that the MSM, and we have a couple generations of ignoramuses.
