    What?! Since when has that been followed? Didn't he JUST YESTERDAY announce a plan to send another 20,000 troops to Iraq despite only 29% of Americans being in favor of it?

    What exactly do they consider "public support"? Anything more than 0%? Lol.
  • hambend, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3And what's up with the claim that most young Iranians are pro-American? That's not the impression I get. You guys destroyed one of the first democracies in the region and left them with the Shah, a man so universally hated in Iran that they eventually revolted.

    Since when have you ever been on their side? Why would they be on yours?
  • kooft, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I've never been a big Matthews fan but he seemed to ask good questions and not throw in a bunch of pointless remarks like:

    "Well, you have been watching too many old movies"

    Way to go Snow. We're talking about engaging a 4th country militarily, one which has a significant presence in the region as well as internationally and you make wise cracks about the interviewer being paranoid? Last time I checked war was a serious matter in which people die, including Americans.
  • UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Just don't use the term "extra-constitutional" around Bush, he might think it means "very very constitutional".
  • TheTruthHurts, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0the ‘Surge’ is the new escalation ""The interview is what real journalism is supposed to look like."" copy that
