Quote Of The Day
Filed under: Quote of the Day > Katie Couric
“Everyone in this room would agree that people in this country were misled in terms of the rationale of this war. I’ve never understood why [invading Iraq] was so high on the administration’s agenda when terrorism was going on in Afghanistan and Pakistan and that [Iraq] had no true connection with al Qaeda.”
- Katie Couric, speaking at the National Press Club on Tuesday evening

1st shes over
i think she's stirring things just to make her ratings rise.
I will fuck all peoples moms who say FIRST !
9/11 happened on their watch. Of course, we can’t say, absolutely, that it would not have happened if they had not been asleep at the wheel. But we can say that they did not do all they could have done to prevent it. We can say that Bush literally pushed away the warnings.
George Bush and the Republicans failed to get Osama bin Laden. We got both Hitler and Hirohito in less time than we’ve been chasing bin Laden. Every day that bin Laden’s out there, he’s proof that you can attack the United States and get away with it. That’s a bad message to send, and believe me, people in the terrorist world have heard it loud and clear. That’s very bad for national security.
George Bush and the Republicans gave Osama bin Laden what he wanted. Bin Laden wanted the US to get into a quagmire. He wanted our troops tied down in an Islamic country so that an insurgency could do to them what the Afghanis did to the Russians and to the British before them.
A modern, hi-tech army is very good at invasions. It’s also good for fighting back against other armies. But a modern hi-tech army is not good at occupying a country against the will of the population. Even if the army is as violent and ruthless as the Soviet occupiers of Afghanistan were.
…finally someone admits this after all the blood shed by the American soldiers and the loss of trillions from Americas treasure….
thank you for letting us know….but we knew that all along…..but no one listened
WHY DIDN'T SHE SAY THAT BACK IN 2003 WHEN IT REALLY MATTERED?
I can't stand all these reporters trying to come forward with the truth now, if she and others like her had been doing their job in the first place, we wouldn't have ended up this stupid war.
GO TO HELL KATIE!! YOU SUCK!!!
AMEN SISTER!
How can a National news anchor be so stupid!!! Poor Katie, you let your liberal views get in the way of being a good journalist.
WOW!! What an idiot, no wonder she is losing her job! It must be okay to her for someone to torture, rape, and kill women and children. I wish people would educate themselves on this matter!! Get used to it Katie, cause were goin to IRAN next!!!
Couldn't have said it better myself!
George Bush and the Republicans squandered America’s power and prestige. Before 9/11 most people in the world probably thought that America’s intelligence services were able and astute, agencies to be feared. The Bush administration has made them appear bumbling and inept. They did this, first, by ignoring their warnings and then, second, by making them the fall guys for 9/11.
After 9/11 most of the world feared America's wrath and America's might. By failing to get bin Laden and his gang, then by attacking the wrong country, unleashing chaos, and getting our armed forces into a situation that they can’t win, the administration showed the world they have less to fear than they imagined.
The Bush administration empowered Hezbollah. The 'insurgency' in Iraq was Hezbollah's textbook and their inspiration. If Iraqis could do that to Americans, surely they could do the same to the Israelis. And they have. It's not yet on the record, but it's clear from everyone's conduct, that the administration encouraged the Israelis to 'unleash' their forces against Hezbollah. They probably thought Israel's modern hi-tech armies would quickly smash their enemy.
Sorry katie even this won't get you ratings. try as you may to get in the public eye the public finds you tiresome. Your perkiness is so played out. While what you said may be true no one puts any stock inaanything you say. Poor katie grasping at straws
The Bush administration radicalized Hamas. Hamas was elected. Sworn to the destruction of Israel or not, they should have been encouraged to become responsible players with carrots as well as sticks. Instead the administration put them up against the wall, hoping to starve the Palestinian people into voting for a different group. Would that work if someone tried to do it to us?
Bush and the Republicans tied down our forces in Iraq while Iran and North Korea invested in nuclear technology. That made North Korea feel secure enough to test ICBMs. If they had been successful, they would have had a delivery system for their nuclear weapons. That would be incredibly bad for national security. Iran, with American forces tied down in Iraq, feels secure enough to defy the UN as well as the US. Very bad for national security.
I'm just waiting for somebody to say that she's a terrorist too.
BUSH IS THE TERRORIST!!
