COKIE, THE PERFECT VILLAGER

Cokie Roberts tries to defend the war whores by making the false claim that most Americans agree with McWAR on Iraq. Crooks & Liars has the video and partial transcript and Glenn dismantles Cokie's argument. Here's something I also found interesting:

VANDEN HEUVEL: But what is winning? This war is unwinnable. There are no military solutions. And Cokie, Americans are already behind this, 2/3 of Americans believe this war was a mistake to fight. And when Dick Cheney said to ABC’s Martha Raddatz last week, “I don’t care what Americans think.” …

ROBERTS: That’s not exactly what he said. He said “So.”

VANDEN HEUVEL: …The contempt, the disdain for Americans and for what this war has done to the military, to our economy, and to our future as a nation. If you care about responsible…

Cokie is literally correct about what Cheney said but she's trying to play down the contempt Cheney has for the American people.
