Slots Bennett referred to the WaPO series on war criminal Cheney as a "hatchet job" and from the little I heard, did not address any of the specifics mentioned in the series. He also decried the terrorist's use of a 6 year old in Afghanistan as an unwitting suicide bomber. He then went on to claim that's who we are fighting in Iraq. A caller then said he was blurring the boundaries between Iraq and Afghanistan and Slots could only say that he disagrees.
Here's what America thinks about Iraq:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Public support for the war in Iraq has fallen to a new low. Not only that, but Republican support is beginning to waver.
In the latest CNN-Opinion Research Corporation poll released Tuesday, 69 percent of those polled believe things are going badly in Iraq. Seventeen percent think the situation is improving.
Thirty percent of Americans polled say they favor the war, the lowest level of support on record. Two-thirds are opposed.
Anti-war sentiment among Republican poll respondents has suddenly increased with 38 percent of Republicans now saying they oppose the war.
63 percent of Americans are ready to withdraw at least some troops from Iraq. Forty-two percent of Republicans agree.
Fifty-four percent of Americans do not believe U.S. action in Iraq is morally justified.
Another GOP Senator bolts from Fredo's Fiasco:
Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, echoed Lugar Tuesday, laying out his plan in a letter to the president.
"We must begin to develop a comprehensive plan for our country's gradual military disengagement from Iraq and a corresponding increase in responsibility to the Iraqi government and its regional neighbors," he wrote.
Voinovich said his proposal to bring troops home was months in the making. "I think everybody knows that we fumbled the ball right from the beginning on this," he told CNN.
