Quote Of The Day

“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

Re: Robert – I'm saying this now because she finally realizes it when most people new it 3 years ago
Go Katie!
good to see the old lady's getting some hutspah.
Re: Robert – KNEW IT !
FINALLY SOMEONE SPEAKS THE TRUTH!!!! HURRAH! AMERICA, YOUR PRESIDENT IS A GANGSTER. AMERICAN YOUR PRESIDENT IS A NOT VERY BRIGHT GANGSTER.
1st
good for her!!
oh, and ….. FIRST?
I don't like that old lady, she is a big fat phoney
1st!
first!
I love this woman
Finally someone freakin says it…. the war on terrorism is not in freakin Iraq.. I don't get why soo many people don't see that… ugh stupidness….
Katie, why don't you Google "Snack Food Rosie O'Donnell" if you want a real story…
7th
First!
I love this woman…
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!!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
If she really believez thiz..then when she waz on NBC..Y didn't
she inform uz then…oh, thatz right…she waz kizzing the current
adminiztrationz azz like Fox newz and all the other Newz…she
needz to be replace with someone thatz pleazing to look at.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
By the way, every major European nation has had successful arrests and real trials of real, dangerous terrorists. People on the level of this group that the British just took down. The most ferocious terrorist arrested in the United States since 9/11 has been the shoe bomber. Ten, twenty, forty, a hundred billion dollars, a trillion dollars, and the best we have to show for it is the shoe bomber?! Republicans are bad on national security.
We have trashed the bill of rights. We have trashed the Geneva conventions. We have a president and a vice president willing to go the mat to fight for the right to torture people.
We have spent a fortune on illegal wiretaps.
We have spent a fortune on collecting everyone’s telephone data.
And what have we achieved by all of this?
A quagmire in Iraq. Dishonor. Debts. An empowered al Qaeda. A new war in Lebanon. The inability to stand up to Iran and North Korea. Osama bin Laden at large, an inspiration to extremists everywhere.
Republican are unimaginably bad on national security. Say it loud. Say it often, it’s the truth, Republicans are bad on national security.
What was Clinton doing when Osama was bombing our navy ships etc…It all started with his lousy administration and Bush was left to try to pick up the pieces.
She is only now realizing this???
This ugly lady still has a microphone??
i figured her untalented uglyass would have been fired by now,,,
hate this stupid ass twat,,
she sucks
and sucks
and sucks
and sucks
Re: funky munky – and you can't write.
I only wish she would have said that a long time ago!
Re: Andrea –
if you think Bush is a terrorist,,
then you are a fucking terrorist,,
you are also a dumb fucking ugly ass hairy armpit treehugger
go have a gay marriage or something you liberal freak
Hey Couric, maybe, just maybe because after 9/11 we didn't want to take any chance with creazy muzlims and arms of mass destructions. And maybe we were misled for many years long before the Bush adminsitation. You are a journalist, but never the less, here is a history lesson:
"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser-1998
"We must stop Sadam from ever again jeopardizing the stability and security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction."
Madeline Albright 1998
"If Sadamm rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program"
President Bill Clinton 1998"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destrution has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Sadam is in power"
Al Gore 2002
"We have known for many eyars that Sadam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction"
Sen Ted Kennedy 2002.
Hey Couric, maybe Bush did what democrats never had the balls to do. Action.
Shut up and report the news.
Re: poop –
I'm with you poop,,
lock and load
9/11 wouldn't of happened if Gore were president. Al Queda had nothing to do with Iraq. Our environment would be cleaner, our schools would be better because we would be putting more into them and nothing into this fake war. New Orleans, where are we with that. We were lied to America. They said there was weapons of mass destruction. Then nobody blinked and eye when Bush said well there aren't but Sadaam Hussain is a bad man and he was mean to my Daddy. Aren't you all pissed off? The world hates Americans because of Bush. What are you going to do about it. People, we must vote and we have to have change. Katie Thank you for your honesty.
Re: kristin – The Republican-controlled Federal Reserve has pushed interest rates to below 1% while it frantically tries to flood the economy with money and credit.
Republicans have become the party of fiscal irresponsibility, trade restriction, big government, and failing-grade microeconomics.
PROVE ME WRONG
Oh. Now she says something. Hhhm. I think 3 and a half years ago would have been a better time to pretend you can think.
Re: reba – this is sooo true.
HOW CAN YOU DOUBTERS OF WHAT SHE IS SAYING BE SO DUMB?????????????? HOW CAN YOU ALL BE SO UTTERLY BRAINWASHED OR ARROGANT IN THE FACE OF FACT?????? WAKE UP AMERICA AND SEE WHAT IS FRONT OF YOUR EYES.
Re: COCO –
you know CoCo,,
it's not very often someone with brains bother posting things on here to try to make the liberal nutjobs to think,,
I know what you wrote is the truth,,
but somehow the left wingers will not care,,
they are only in the voting process to get gay marriage,, welfare,,something else maybe free,, and abortions,,
they do not care about this war,, they are only complaining ,, hoping it will make the election turn out in their favor,, and we get some soft liberal into office ,,
it's just sad,,
but Coco,, i'm in total agreement with what you say,,
I am not a left wing nut,, I'm a very well educated American
:-)
Good god, she needs botox
Be careful who you fully blame; the Bush presidency was in office for only 9 or so months when 9/11 happpened. The Clinton administration was in office for 8 years and gov departments clearly ignored threat indicators. With any change in gov the previous administration's policies and agenda's are felt for 6 months to 1 year after they leave. Things do not change overnight contrary to what most people believe. The Iraq war that's antoher agenda. Intel is only as good as it's source…..don't be surprised if history is rewritten in 20 years. As for Katie…the ratings speak for themselves.
Yeah #46, it was Clinton who lied and got us into Iraq, who was such a crappy military strategist that we got our asses kicked by a bunch of Arab rednecks, then refused to raise taxes to pay for our own war so we went into massive debt to China, Russia, Mexico and other countries who'd love to teach us a lesson. It was Clinton! Please. Anyway, nice to see Katie finally telling the truth, it only took her four years.
Re: Gore was President –
omg,,
you are a fucking retard,,
wow,,
and you can use a computer??
that is amazing,,
i bet you are actually a trained monkey
but it's possible you could be a retardo that learned to type somehow,,
again,,
wowwwwwwwww
a retard that can type!
HERE HERE!!!!!!!!! get our troops out of the hell hole! support the troops, not this unjust war!
Tell it, Katie! This war is a sham, and Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Bush is a liar. Learn the truth, ignorant republicunts.
OIL. those greedy bastards. Kristie, yeah it is true that iraq had no connection with al qaeda, osama bin laden and saddam hussein were enemies. so whatever your dear mr. bush said about that, don't believe it.
This bitch is such a low-life dumb ass! WHere was she during the invasion? Too bad she went along with this lie for how many years???? And why is she just coming out with this now–because she's fucked with her job and she needs ratings! What an opportunistic whore! FUCK YOU KATIE you are the biggest bitch!
UH…DUH.
Re: Policy Understood. –
you are totally correct,,
people/American publie do not tune into Katie,, she is not bright enough
and you are right on with your statements,
you Fox news bashers are a minority too,,
Fox News is a ratings masterpiece
Love my Fox News!!
the only news on tv that is not full of lying liberals
IT'S CALLED VENGEANCE, HONEY. SADDAM LAUNCHED A FAILED ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON GEORGE, SR. WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT, WHICH LEFT THE INEPT TEXAS SON IN AN UNTENABLE POSITION WHEN HE BECAME PRESIDENT. HE HAD TO GO AFTER SADDAM TO AVENGE THE ATTEMPT ON DAD.
*
READ YOUR HISTORY BOOKS, KATIE. DIDN'T MATTER WHAT - SADDAM WAS GOING DOWN. TEXANS DON'T TAKE THAT SHIT LIGHTLY & PAYBACK IS A MOTHERFUCKER.
*
AND TO ALL YOU MIDDLE-EASTERN, EUROPEAN AND PRO AL QAEDA BLOGGERS: YOU CAN KISS MY RED, WHITE & BLUE ASS. WHATEVER OUR PROBLEMS ARE IN AMERICA, YOURS ARE 10 TIMES WORSE.
*
WE AREN'T PERFECT BY A LONG SHOT, BUT YOU DON'T SEE MILLIONS OF US TRYING TO ESCAPE TO OTHER COUNTRIES & RUNNING TO YOUR COUNTRY FOR A GOOD EDUCATION & DECENT WAGES.
*
MOST OF YOUR COUNTRIES WOULDN'T EVEN PERMIT A BLOG SITE LIKE PEREZ HILTON'S TO BE FOUNDED - SO FUCK OFF.
Now, I had to diss that Bitch Katie Couric but…I got somethin for you bitches out there too…..
Fuck all you ridiculous conservative bitches. You know this war is wrong and you got fucked by the neo cons. EVERYONE ON THIS SITE KNOWS THE WAR IS BULLSHIT why haven't we done anything about it? Why do we allow it day after day? We are totally killing people and getting ripped off ourselves. Why can't we just say no?
Re: liberals are retardos,, err trained monekys – President Bush has excoriated the "death tax," as he calls the estate tax. But his profligacy will leave every American child facing a "birth tax" of about $150,000.
That's right: every American child arrives owing that much, partly to babies in China and Japan. No wonder babies cry.
Re: liberals are retardos,, err trained monekys – so do you have anything to say other than admitting you are an idiot.
Re: NotFirstAndWhoGivesAShit –
wow,, you can spell!
liberals usually are unable to spell, they have brains smaller than an ant, so wow,, you can type and try to put a sentence together
again,, I'm amazed,
This wouldn't have happened if Gore was in office? Are you a retard? It did happen when he was in office, The Marine Corp Barracks, the US Cole. These crazy bastards are TERRORISTS. We could suck their dick on a daily and they'd still want us dead - all of Western Culture and it's you liberal tree hugging, gay marraige supporting wacko's they'd go after first.
Katie is a joke - why didn't she investigate what we were being told in lieu of just regurgutating what she was fed.
Perez…PLEASE stick to boozy actresses, womanizing singers and the latest Brangelina sightings. Your audience is just not smart enough to be debating world affairs. Leave that to the professionals.
GOD, WHAT A FUCKING MORON THIS BITCH IS. IT'S THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM YOU IGNORANT FUCKING CUNT! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE REACTION TO 9/11 WAS IF A REPUBLICAN WAS IN OFFICE, IT WOULD ALWAYS BE CONSIDERED WRONG BY LIBERAL FUCKING DOUCHEBAGS WHO HATE THEIR OWN COUNTRY AND THEIR OWN LEADERS MORE THAN MURDEROUS DICTATORS.
GET A CLUE OR GET THE FUCK OUT (FOR ONCE, WOULD SOMEONE HOLD ALEC BALDWIN AND HIS MERRY BAND OF RETARDS TO THEIR WORD FOR ONCE?)
Re: Get Real –
Don't bother…the average age here is 13. They don't know anything than what MTV tells them.
paybacks are a bitch
so is Karma
so all of you liberal idiots remember this
and there is nothing more fun than a true blooded American to kick some liberal ass
or shoot a terrorist
America is great!
liberals are not but that is ok I can live with them, they are fun to fuck with, with their small brains and all
also,,
most liberal men have very small dicks
Re: liberals suck – In the opening years of the 21st century the Republicans have made it clear that they are willing to sacrifice the US Constitution and Bill of Rights in order to wage "war against terrorism." This willingness makes the Republican Party a more dangerous threat to Americans than Muslim terrorists. Muslim terrorists cannot destroy our country’s reputation, trash our civil liberties and wreck our system of accountable government, but the Republican Party has done a thorough job of it.
amen sister! bring out troops home safely! bush lied!
Re: Gore was President –
heheheh
you are probably a fudge-packing liberal
why don't you go lick some nazi asshole
you sicko
POOP, I GUESS THEY CALL YOU THAT CAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE FOR BRAINS.
POOP, I GUESS THEY CALL YOU THAT CAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE FOR BRAINS.
Re: reba –
Kind of hard to do when Mr. Bush was always on vacation ignoring memos from the CIA.
She is dilusional. Saddam funded the terrorists people! Get a clue!! He hated America. You can't just give these people a hug and say lets be Friends? They are evil and out to get America.
Back when it started happening, people would be criticized if they spoke out about it! Remember Dixie Chicks? Poor ladies took a beating for expressing their opinion! Now it's ok for everyone to say it!
Katied, you should have said that 3 years ago! I know I thought about that three years ago!
Katie is a hot babe when putting in time using Photoshop. Otherwise, just your average looking gal. As for her views on Iraq, SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!! She's a "journalist"! Its not her job to voice her opinion. Read the damn news that other people research and write for you, collect your $15 million and SHUT THE HELL UP!
Re: j –
oh you are probably some small dick gay man liberal in a fake marriage to a really ugly woman with hairy legs that eats granola and pisses outside
i feel for you,,, you ugly liberal
why don't you go back to school,,
try a Christian school this time,, you might learn something you big ol ugly assfuckingloving weirdo
Re: paybacks are a bitch – Why is it that Bush appointees always want the opposite of what their agency is supposed to stand for? Alberto Gonzalez politicizes the “Justice” Department turning it into the “No Justice ‘cept for rich white (Republican) folks” Department.
Leavitt fights health coverage for poor children and turns “Health and Human Services” into “Zero Health and Human Services.”
Brownie and FEMA? Instead of Emergency Management, we get Emergency “Can’t Find Our Way Out of a Paper Bag with a Flashlight, a Map, and a Guide Dog."
LOLOLOL. BIT OF A REDNECK BY ANY CHANCE????? YOU PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SO BRAINWASHED BY YOUR GOVERNMENT IT IS SAD.
LOLOLOL. BIT OF A REDNECK BY ANY CHANCE????? YOU PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SO BRAINWASHED BY YOUR GOVERNMENT IT IS SAD.
Re: J is a liberal assholelicker –
Well i can tell by your comment you love Jesus.
THE REASON 9/11 HAPPENED IS BECAUSE GEORGE W. BUSH WAS IN OFFICE. HE IS A LIAR, HE IS IGNORANT. AND THE TRUTH IS HE LIED TO AMERICA. WHY DO YOU THINK ALL THE IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN HIS ADMINISTRATION QUIT. WAKE UP AMERICA. ANYBODY WHO DOES NOT AGREE CAN GO BACK HOME AND RAISE THEIR BIBLE AND MARRY THEIR COUSIN. REDNECKS…..READ A BOOK SOMETIME.
Re: paybacks are a bitch –
CAN YOU READ?
Ever hear of the Free and Reduced Lunch Program? I doubt it, buts lets see if you can follow along. Using the misAdmin rationale, children in families making less than 125% of the federal poverty level will no longer receive free lunches, #but will receive an deduction on their income tax to cover a portion of their costs.#
Those making less than 185% will no longer receive reduced-price lunches and will be required to take their children to restaurants for their midday meal.
Applebee’s will be covered. But not if you sit in tables 10-25 between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm. McDonald’s is always covered, but only if you go through the drive-thru, eat off the dollar menu, and get two apple pies with that. Cracker Barre–
*shudder* Better stop there before the Republicans get any ideas…
Re: reba – oh poor ignorant Reba, you need to do your homework and find out what the Clinton administration really did……start with the fact that they actually were able to find him you dumb Cunt
four years late, but well done for coming to that conclusion.
Ha Ha, I saw her having lunch in Old Town Virginia earlier that afternoon!
Her career is circling the drain and she is looking for some way to generate some interest and buzz around her. Shame on her for such a cheap stunt. I really thought that she was better than this.
YEAH!!! LIKE HELLOOOOO…
After the "CONTRACTORS" in IRAQ made their millions and CHENEY made his BILLIONS, EVERYONE from the liberals to the F%^$ rePUTAblicans is now saying this was a MISTAKE….
TOO LATE FUC%$%$S… We are in a MESS that will NOT be cleaned up FAST or EASILY… thanks to the POOR MEDIA COVERAGE that exists today AND that existed in 2003…
AND TO THE POOR MEDIA COVERAGE LET'S THANK
***RUPERT MURDOCK****
LOOK HIM UP IGNORANUSES this guy is literally CONTROLLING EVERYTHING we see!!!
BUT at least Couric is no O'reilly… AND AMEN TO THAT
