Chris Matthews Looks Back On Iraq War With Dismay

[Marchant2]

Iraq and Iraq alone is the number ONE reason why Obama and the Democrats will never rise to the level of failure as Bush and the neo-cons. The Right says repeatedly that Obama is the worst President ever. Well, they have to say that. Because there weren't any Presidents before Bush that were worse so the Right, who will refuse to carry the earned title of worst President has to pass that title off as quickly as possible.. And they will ONLY pass it to a Democratic President.

[Reqrezentin]

Wasn't he the man who gushed over Bush landing on the aircraft carrier?

[bricitybrac]

Matthews would have more credibility if he apologized for his glowing coverage of the "Mission Accomplished" speech.

[bill77777776]

This is the mother fucker who made fun of Ron Paul for his correct assessment of this illegal war back in '07 during the primaries. Fuck this clown. Corporate stooge.

[ModernPlague]

Chris Mathews is another media clown who gets paid to obfuscate & confuse issues.

Doesn't matter WHICH mainstream news source you use;

they'll ALL bullshit you.

Doesn't matter WHICH politician you cast your measly vote for;

they'll ALL serve the rich elitists & rob the lower- & middle-class.

They call it the American Dream 'cause you have to be ASLEEP to BELIEVE IT!

[javabeserk]

the example of how the mass media is trying to free thmselves frm the sin for LYING and supporting WARS they once propagated remorselessly. wtf..

[geo1671]

“Why would Iraq attack America or use nuclear weapons against us?” Zelikow asked an audience at the University of Virginia in September 2002. In a rare moment of candour, Zelikow proceeded to explain that the real reason for preemptive war against Iraq was “the threat against Israel.”

Cris! Why not bring this pieceofzionistIsraelshit on your Kosher show? As if you had nothing to do with the 9/11 Israel coverup or the Invasion of Afghastan or now the drone killings againist Pakistan :^(

[HPBish]

too little, too late my ass.

'Get a rope' is more like it.

[roddythewolf]

@HPBish  Well said.

[ihatelifejosemartine]

He's right. He should have said this earlier, though.

[profnasty]

More non-surprises from America-Corporate-Propaganda Central.

[diginando]

@profnasty You mean FOX?

[doctender77]

The way he fawned over Bush during the "Mission Accomplished" speech was embarrassing and perfect example of the media propaganda that allowed us to go to war with a country that couldn't have had less to do with 9/11. I don't recall him mentioning that minor detail one time in the lead up.

[doctender77]

He was as guilty as anyone for selling the war and fuck him for acting like he was one of the minority in the media who spoke out against it. He cheered bush's every move after 9/11 as did the vast majority in the media. He should take a look in the mirror before he shares his righteous indignation about the war.

[smtpgirl]

@doctender77 Oh, I so agree. He parroted with the rest of them.

[clownporn1]

too little to late Chris, 7 years late.

[exbronco1980]

america wanted george w. and it got him. america wanted the iraq war and it got it. america should be happier.

[GoodVibezin]

Did Chris Matthews ever debate Carl Rove over the Iraq war? No.

Did he ever debate Christopher Hitchens? No.

Did he ever debate Oliver North? No.

Did he ever debate Donald Rumsfeld? No.

Did he ever debate Doug Feith? No.

Chris Matthews is a big pussy who likes to play softball.

[MyRiseToHonor]

GoodVibezin, softball in the 13th hour by the way! He and many other individuals were scared to go against the Bush used "With us or against us" back in those times. Nice questions by the way, and all factual!

[inmyforties]

revisionist history

[GoodVibezin]

Chris Matthews, as I recall, wasn't leading leading any public protests before or during the Iraq war. He might have spoken against it a mere two minutes, but for the most part, he was a suck-up then and he's a suck-up now. Nothing really changes in main stream media.

[mynameis677]

Shame he didn't say that about Israel.

[Calimantalkin]

Bush came close to destroying America with his incompetence.

[3122tan]

@FixedNewsChannel I'm glad you don't upload him much coz I think it devalues anyones channel to give him a bigger voice. There were some good moments there and wouldve been nice coming from a non hypocrite like Maddow instead but the part about America always being there for invaded lands made me so angry I cannot tell you. It simply is not true; Britain and France and Australia and MANY others were there for Poland and America was NOT.

[3122tan]

Whoops sorry below was meant to read same with WW1 obviously!

[3122tan]

As well as his disgusting mis characterization of the US at war. There to help others/allies when other countries are invaded? Like Poland? You guys were only MORE THAN TWO YEARS LATE on that one. Same with WW2. in fact both times only entered when YOU were effected. Chris Matthews I don't hate America but don't you DARE put your country up there with the countries like MINE that we defending Poland within the week

[lightsinthesky246]

okay, chris lost me when he said her-rosha-ma

[3122tan]

I didn't think I could hate Matthews any more but again he's topped himself! I encourage everyone to think back to his war coverage in 2003 particularly his take on 'mission accomplished' in which he essentially sucked Bush's dick.

[sHiNsAiKo]

But the USA has always done this...nothing new.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Well then Chris, what you need to do is speak up when it counts. Be the guy calling bullshit the next time the USA gets into a flag-bedecked patriotic-fascist "you're with the President or you're with the terrorists" frenzy.

[midevalcheese]

30,000 more troops to Afganistan.

Obama is no better than Bush but Matthews won't talk about that because his leg is tingeling.

[fiusux12]

beautiful, thank you

[KataVideo]

the military says 77,000 people died...

the lancet puts that slightly higher, at 1.3 million iraqis killed.

guess which one chris will go with in the future.

[officialusa]

The old main stream media is failing fast.

[DefendInsanity]

Of course, he doesn't say anything until it's popular to hate the Iraq War.....

[rubberbaby00]

Its easy to show balls 7 years later.

[FixedNewsChannel]

Editorial: Too little, too late Chris.

[Churchx77]

Like anybody criticizing the Iraq war nowadays. The US media is beyond pathetic. What happened to it...

[KataVideo]

@FixedNewsChannel "let me finish" is a segment invented so chris can say liberal things. as opposed to the previous 48 minutes of program time he spends worrying about conservatard talking points.

[FixedNewsChannel]

@KataVideo Yeah, I agree. I don't feature hardball too much these days, because of some of his outlandish statements.

[geminyo]

@KataVideo

This point in particular, however... well..... There's a reason why colbert said reality has a liberal bias.

[HolyCity2012]

@FixedNewsChannel I couldn't agree more. Who does Mr. Mathews think he is? I doubt it would be too hard to find clips of Mr. Mathews oooing & aaahing about some bunker buster attack. Chris Mathews goes in whatever direction the wind blows.
