Jack Cafferty admits he was wrong about Iraq

[movitmovit]

you're good jack, one of my favs.

[blavatsky3]

A breath of FRESH AIR......................If you would like to learn more about the controlled implosion of Building-7 on 9/11 & why over 1500 Professional Architects & Engineers are demanding a NEW INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION... goto vv vv vv dot ae911truth dot o rg

[jdw211]

Seems like an honest man. Most were caught up in the moment and didn't proceed with reason.

[LivingTheGoodLife01]

At least he's not afraid to admit his faults. No journalist is correct all of the time, but at least own up to your faults.

[derast]

Wow. At last. Kudos for his courage!

[thekswervedirt]

The political split that the news channels in this country consistently promote will surely be the downfall of America. It is a shame.

[halflifeproductionz]

this guy should be promoted!

[pepelepew2006]

Finally!!!!

An American who admit he/she was wrong.

Wish the whole country would learn from him.

[newt0830]

what kind of warped rationality is that??

he says he is not a left winger....and then proceeds to bash bush for being sucked in by bush toward supporting the iraq war...typical media liberal self-dillusion...

[grazon]

You may not know it but not everyone on the left (or right for that matter) identifies themselves as being part of a "wing".

Besides were you formost a conservative instead of a bootlicker for the GOP you'd have more than enough reasons to hate Bush.

[pepelepew2006]

Let me get this straight.

The idiocy of the last president is "FINALLY" being realized by most Conservatives and your saying it;s warped rationality?

Glad I live in Canada

[grazon]

I can't speak for most conservatives.

I know however that Cafferty is pretty middle of the road politically and that this video is three years old.

[itpduder]

@pepelepew2006, Cafferty reversed his position on Iraq in 2005 when the Downing Street Memo came out. Get your facts straight. This is hardly a "finally" getting it situation.

Now should I say I'm glad I live in the US as an insult of your Canadian residency? You really are an idiot.

[twinfk]

@pepelepew2006

So am I pepelepew.

I'm VERY happy that I live in Canada. Greatest country on earth!

Good luck with ALL your problems USA.

[skydome29]

@twinfk We have problems, quite a handful, but in canada we do not push our prejudices and intolerances down peoples throats in this country, and coat them as truth.

[viragemasta]

this guy is a joke..."are you a left winger?" So once you question the right wing policy, you become a lefty?! It's the duty of the media to question policies.

This line of thought would turn all of Hitler's generals into communists, simply for questioning his military strategy once in a while...

Who let this people get on these shows. I'm not always aggreeing with Cafferty, but he shows common sense, which cannot be said of the i£#&t asking Cafferty these questions.

[cw1310]

It takes a big man, to admit he's wrong.

[brian12934]

HAHA! I LOVE his laugh.

[UcanbeGOD]

two straight hours of programming.

Cafferty:AHAHAHA!

Cafferty kicks ass!

[pedro270569]

the title of this video is wrong,he says he was deceived by the lies from bush and others about WMD and 9-11 iraq connection and supported the invasion in 2003.I also and millions worldwide were deceived

[grazon]

Yeah but that's a moutfull.

[avalsonline]

2 straight hours? try 20 hours total

[CCrossfan]

Ron Paul Convention coming up :D

[danger0usknowledge]

Cafferty was a former right winger who who was persuaded by observing ppl like Blitzer & Howard Kurtz lying us into war. Cafferty like Olbermann doesn't have to listen to conservative producers, will give the finger to hosts like Blitzer & Kurtz who supported the war & were shamed into hiding that support. BTW the "mistakes" that the US made by leaving weapons dumps unguarded, firing the army & civil service & WMD were not mistakes they were planned & anticipated. Cheney got away with it.

[puffenstuff07]

Why does this not surprise me.

His judgment is no better now.

Apparently he follows whatever way the wind blows.

Jack, don't let your guilty conscience lead you down the primrose path.

Obama is just like bush, a reckless manchild.

[grazon]

Obama graduated with a J.D. magna cum laude from Harvard.

He is nothing like Bush.

[Aircraftkiller]

No.. Much worse is Obama.

[grazon]

And how many stupid wars has Obama gotten us into?!?

[Aircraftkiller]

That isn't a valid question due to the simple fact that he can't yet.

Plus, bush had to have Congress approval before initiating a war. They said OK. Blame Congress. Look it up. Its in any textbook the president cannot declare war for more than 30 days before congress must approve it.

[grazon]

Nice dodge.

Oh wait you failed.

[Aircraftkiller]

Thank you.

Oh, wait. Your a bitch.

[grazon]

Call me what you like U.S. Troops Deployed Abroad have Rejected McCain's Iraq Plans, and are Donating 6:1 To Obama.

[badger5079]

Congress delegated their responsibility for authorising the war to Bush and trusted his judgement on the matter. This was unconstitutional.

[grazon]

that was 6 years ago alot of people now in Congress weren't in office when that vote was taken.

[usana84]

Better check your facts

[grazon]

Do you have any idea how many new people were elected in 06 alone?

[badger5079]

If Obama is elected there may indeed be more wars - who can predict the future. Obama is certainly not an isolationist. I guess the American public have to vote based upon the judgement of the candidates.

[N7a7v7i]

How so? How do you "know" that Obama will be worse than Bush?

[Aircraftkiller]

Just wait. Watch. We'll see.

[xxNutcasexx]

You don't even know what Obama is like... you have no idea... only time will tell if he is elected. Doesn't really matter though cus your a biased democrat sheep... In the end he will fail our country by increasing the government strangle hold, maintain pathetic moral principles such as supporting roe vs wade, and run his wonderful mouth. BTW this is NOT a MCain supporter speaking by any means. Any one who supports either of the mainstream candidates is just one of our many sheep... how cute.

[grazon]

Yes Yes call us sheep what a great way to force us to agree with you.

[CursedK]

hahha i agree, Obama is not just seeking democratic votes, he is seeking for American votes unlike the partisanship of Mccain

[badger5079]

You don't support McCain or Obama then - who are you going to vote for?

[babyfran05]

28 dead in twin suicide bombing today. iraq's going great.

[ChristianNewsWatch]

wonder if Cafferty, Olbermann, and Lou Dobbs could every wind up with their own show.... I'd never watch any other news!

So few bluntly spoken newscasters left, the rest are just spineless cowards and new world order goons!

[Emyousmusa]

I know I didn't drink the koolaid.... I knew for sure at that time that something was wrong.... It felt like Nazis Germany honestly.. that is exactly how I felt at that time... during 911... and after..

[jimmytwotimez]

i felt the same way too man...I was wondering why the hell are we going to war with Iraq? Wasnt the mission to go after Osama? Its still so puzzling to me after all these fucking years. It would be nice if the current administration would give us some kind of intel so we would have a better understanding and maybe some of us wouldnt want to smash Bush's head.

[grazon]

Get Bush to tell us the truth lol.

You'd have a better chance of seducing a nun.

[jimmytwotimez]

HAHAHA! you are so dead-on about that. Maybe i should try winning the Lottery too while im at it lol. Maybe then i will get info from Bush. But its so sad man but thanks for this video and all your videos.

[grazon]

Thanks man I run on complements so that means alot to me.

[N7a7v7i]

It felt a bit like rape, honestly. Bush has that effect on me when he smiles to the camera and talks about how "the evil-doers want to take away our freedoms".

[DantesDump]

Yeah, and 9-11 was just a neocon sham, right?

People like you don't want to see the truck barreling down on you, even when it is a few feet away.

[PVJared]

To N7a7v7i,

Aircraftkiller is right. Obama is just a tool. He doesn't want change. He just wants more of the status quo.

Why can't we stop bitching about wedge issues such as gay rights, abortion and stem cell research?

Here's what we should be talking about.

1) Social security

2) Healthcare

3) National Soveriegnty

4) Monetary policy

5) Foreign policy

[grazon]

I'm sure Obama is just talking about sports in Ireland.

[xylin3]

HE JUST GOT HERE !!!!!!!

you talk like he's been in for 8 years already.

[IITRILL4you713]

fuckin eh

[mrsocko551]

I'm a right leaning independent and one of the main problems about the republican party is that they can not do what this guy just did. Insted they are too conserned about being right all the time even if it means that things will become all messed up.

[clpsw7]

Tell it like it is Jack, Bush fucked us all

with this Iraq fiasco.

[creazysonofbitch]

o i m srry dude in this job u cant afford to by wrong i guess we will just have to let u go...consider urself downsided

[templars83]

Many times I do not - I however strongly favor his being very honest here.

[colala2]

i do not like this guy

[hadfordwrose]

I understand your underlying point, but I think you are talking about what was allowed and what was done are two different things. The holocaust was years in the making, Jewish members of society were going underground for years before this occurred. I could post the last name so you could verify, but I'm not putting my family name on this board, or any other. Since I am not willing to do so, we will have to agree to disagree.

[grazon]

You wrote "there were no farmers in europe"

[grazon]

England is part of Europe dumbass.

[hadfordwrose]

Really, so I'm lying? Okay. Thanks for the heads up. First, they were farmers, second, only half of the family still exists. Our side and what was them. Thank you for calling me a liar though since this was something I lied about. Idiot. Further, your argument that they were not allowed to farm is false. Good luck with that....

[TubeYouFuk]

Jack Cafferty is an idiot!

[grazon]

Farmers did and do exist in Europe.

[CaptChango]

God Bless you Latte Liberal may God's light and love increase in you.

[LatteLiberal]

I am not a Nazi but I am a Republican and part time Libertarian because they stand for the principals of Adolf Hitler without going overboard. 6 million was a lot of jews and they kinda went too far. 1 or 2 million would have been enough to correct the economic imbalance caused by jews hoarding their wealth and not spending it in Christian stores and businesses during the German depression. But don't try to sit here and tell me that Cafferty is some kind of national statesman.

[grazon]

"there were no "farmers" in europe anyways"?

What?

[hadfordwrose]

Apparently, they didn't farm in Europe. Apparently the holocaust never happened either. I have no idea what the hell this guy is talking about.

[CaptChango]

Thats the greatness of America Latte Liberal that even a moron racist like you can have the freedom to spout out your inane, obtuse, vitriol.

[LatteLiberal]

It's not "racism" you sissy. It's the BIBLE. You should put down your copy of "how to be a liberal bastard on 100% solar power" and pick up the BIBLE because it has more truth than your science and history books and isn't liberally biased.

[LatteLiberal]

He is a liberal jew media coward TRAITOR and should be shot. Nobody who causes dissent in times of national crisis and war should be allowed to live. He is a dangerous person because he causes dissent.

[grazon]

Cafferty is an Irish-American Lutheran.

And your calling him a Jew like it's a bad thing says a ton about you.

[hadfordwrose]

No kidding grazon. Apparently the entire branch of my family wiped out in the holocaust got what they had coming. That will teach them for being farmers and betraying their country through their religion!

[banemaler]

guts

[Pleblian]

Jack should have his own show

[icemanarc]

I certainly did. I even helped out, earned a coin from the DOD commemorating my support of "Iraqi Freedom"

I had even believed with 100% certainty that they had WMDs.

Now, I am 100% certain that even 9/11 was a privatized, highly sanctioned gold, silver heist and insurance fraud.

The upside for the elites is obvious, the upside for the government is more control over us and REAL ID. Look into it!

[Yourdeadmeat69]

Vote Ron Paul. Good for Cafferty seeing the light. Bush burned our Bill of Rights for a sea of oil. Is bombing brown people out of existence every 20 years an American right? And "End-of-days" Christian candidates with self-fulfilling itchy nuclear trigger fingers! Now THAT's SCARY! Wiping OUR kids out every 20 years in worthless wars, we hate them THAT much? Disgusting

[marcxopoco]

deadmeat missed the news on 9-11.

[Yourdeadmeat69]

Actually 6 miles from the Pentagon hit 9/11, but, so what? SADDAM and Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11. Folks dumb as Bush bitchslapping camel jockeys in frustration, or trying to do one better than Bush 41 (Daddy complex?) Rummy still trying to win the Vietnam war. Hey, leadership psychologically disturbed?--Now THAT's a slam dunk.

[pattykad]

I like Cafferty but it really saddens me that

he did drink the koolaid. And no Jack,

not "all of us" drank it. But it's very telling of our news reporters today..why aren't they doing investigative reporting?

Cafferty should have done his homework.

[grazon]

I'm just glad he had the courage to admit to such a horrible mistake.

[kuryamtl]

seriously...even though it should not be remarked on that he admitted his mistake.. the fact it is being remarked on, means the media is seriously flawed.

[grazon]

eh?

[Chalumeau]

could you further elaborate?

[grazon]

me?

[mrsocko551]

no man. just about the whole nation drank the koolaid. we thought it was the right thing. we did elect bush twice. we were bullshited. but it take a man to admit he was wrong and speak out against the bullshit. whats a shame is that some people are so ridiculous that they wont admit it because they dont want to seem wrong. please...  yeah so dont fucking try to repress people for being openminded and honest about there opinions.

[grazon]

I have a kinsmen who's an outspoken conservative.

After a few drinks he told me he thought the war in Iraq was wrong and that bush was an idiot.

For him to say that must have been like pulling a tooth out of his own mouth.

But as far as I can tell part of being a man is showing the courage to own up to your mistakes.

[DragnGo]

this guy is impressive.

[gpower07]

i think all of us have been blind-sided by this douchebag president... lets not make this mistake again in the future.

[fearonism]

he's got my respect.

[CNNer]

Jack Cafferty rules!

[freedomman12]

Good for Jack!

[DJEN33]

Notice how they try to paint him as a left-winger for denying the financial lie.

[greenback001]

Jack is one of the last of few on television news who I hold faith in. The rest of them are schills. Way to go Jack.

[deb8tn]

Jack is one of the few on the news that I like. It takes more balls than a lot of people have to admit you were wrong.

[bluewolverine40]

cafferty is not left winger hes an anti BULLSHITER lol GO JACK!!

[bill0w]

A couple trillion dollars, a million or so lives. I was never fooled why was he? He is far from absolved.

[grazon]

It's far harder to admit you were fooled after so many lives have been lost.

[Pleblian]

Cafferty was one of first journalist to speak out about the war in Iran back in 2004, and cnn almost shoved him into obscurity for.

[ariana1913]

There is a certain degree of satisfaction in having the courage to admit one's errors. It not only clears up the air of guilt and defensiveness, but often helps solve the problem created by the error.

[RevolutionaryJam]

Courageous! Well done! It takes a strong man to change a strong opinion!
