Cokie Roberts Thinks Voters Opinions Matter? Or Not?

During the panel discussion on This Week with George Stephanopoulos Cokie Roberts scoffs at Katrina vanden Heuvel when she is explaining why The Nation magazine has endorsed Barack Obama, but disagrees with his Iraq policy, and that the magazine supports complete withdrawal. Roberts has the nerve on one hand to say that we have to stay because the public wants to "win" whatever the hell that's supposed to mean, and then in the next breath almost under her breath says that Cheney didn't say he didn't care about pubic opinion with his "So?" remark he made to Martha Raddatz. Well tell me then Cokie, just what did your buddy Cheney mean when he made that remark then?

What does win mean. Since there were no WMDs and no Iraq al Qaeda connection before the invasion, those, which were the false pretexts for the war, are two items that have no connection to 'winning'. They never existed to be solved.

What does win mean. If it means astronomical war profits, then the profiteers are winning everyday.

But, in the process both the US and Iraq lose. We are part of the problem in Iraq, not part of any solution.

Cokie was wrong. Bush is even for withdrawl now.

So yeah, shut up Cokehead Roberts.

She is educated. However, she is also a liar and a GOP nut job. She doesn't care about the American people so long as her people get what they want. And what they want is to keep running our nation into the ground, while trying to convince us it's in our best interest to let them.

Is Cokie for real? I have never heard of such ignorance from someone who suppose to be educated. To think people are actually listening to this trash. Cokie, please get a life! When are Americans going to stop letting Racism blind them and see the big picture. The world wouldn't care about America so much, but because what happens in America effect the rest of the World we the people of the world have to care. This is so unfair! Americans are to STUPID to have this kind of power!!

Fire Kooky Roberts and end her BS

Exactly Benny - Even if we kill every Al Qaeda operative in Iraq, how much are we reducing the threat of terrorism to the US or our allies? I'd argue we're not reducing it at all. For every dead civillian, we have a family of potential terrorists. It's an endless cycle.

The Iraqi's want us out, the military wants to leave, why is it "irresponsible" to listen to them? Why is it "responsible" to listen to the same morons who beat the war drums in the first place?
