Katie Couric Repeats Bush Talking Points

In Sept. 2007, Katie Couric reported live from Baghdad. But instead of using that opportunity to ask tough questions and dig for the truth, Couric asked softball questions and repeated false Bush talking points. The media's failure to ask tough questions helped us get into Iraq in the first place.

How do you measure success until the 2 million Iraqis who left the country (and keep leaving) return and the 2 million displaced citizens feel safe enough to go back to their own homes and neighborhoods?

The objective of BUSHCO has always been a covert genocide with the plausible deniability of a "civil war". Balkanization of mideast nations and their power centers is key to perpetual US dominance or oil reserves and the dominance of the "petro-dollar".

What do you expect from the media..the TRUTH!? you have to really weed through alot of stuff to find out what the truth is..a little here and a litle there..they all want you to believe what THEY say is truth The USA is AGAIN losing it's ass in a war in which there is NO plan to WIN..NO plan to hand it over to an incompantant Iraqi army. THEY DO not want to fight for themselves.PERIOD. No matter how long we stay WE will be the ones to do the fighting..wake up!!!!

Wrong yet again. Reasoning with someone unreasonable is a waste of time. Take care.

RacerXGTO Your information source is pretty lax.  Bet it's FAUX Noise! FYI Ted Kennedy has been on the wagon for many years!

[JakiiRSM]

Simple answer RacerXGTO, prove your point!!! Or maybe you can't!

[RacerXGTO]

Cadigreen, with your enthusiasm, even Ted Kennedy might get on the wagon.

[RacerXGTO]

Why are you asking me, you go and find the truth. Or continue sucking on the tit of lies that which is, the US media.

[RacerXGTO]

Sailor, your view of the meat wagon is not an accurate depiction of the war progress as of today. Think hard? It's clear you haven't stepped out of the blood pool you live through every day.

RacerXGTO: It's obvious, the "news" has been spoon-fed to you. Please dare to look outside your bubble and think for yourself. You are the typical idiot, who thinks it's unpatriotic to be a thinker. Most soldiers out there are dying because of foolish decisions made by our leaders. I was a Navy Corpsman, thousands of wounded soldiers, 70k+ recorded civilian deaths in Iraq, and what was gained? Think hard.
