| Best part is how the mouthpiece bases his whole thing on the premise prison planet is a legitimate source (think Rense.com, but without the chupacabras, rods, aliens,... only paranoid conspiracies about bushitler). |

| #4 yes, BUT she does have (as well as the network)have the right to speak her (and it's) opinion. This is one of the fundamental differences between us and the islamos. If you still watch CBS for news and if you take Couric seriously, then you are doomed to be angry forever. |

| #3 It is a propaganda tool that needs to—literally—blow up in Islam's face. As well as their conspirators, the MSM. |

| #2 It's long past tea for Western leaders to label Islam as the new Nazism and be done with this whole charade of it being a Religion of Peace [spit]. The absurdity of how Islam routinely depicts Jews and Americans as Nazis goes beyond offensive. It is a propaganda tool that needs to—literally—blow up in Islam's face. |

| #1 Geez. I guess Perky Katie didn't get the memo... Speaking at the National Press Club Tuesday evening, CBS "Evening News" anchor Katie Couric pulled back the curtain on her personal views of both the war in Iraq and former “Evening News” anchor Dan Rather. “Everyone in this room would agree that people in this country were misled in terms of the rationale of this war,” said Couric, adding that it is “pretty much accepted” that the war in Iraq was a mistake. “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.” Further, Couric said the Bush administration botched the war effort, calling it “accepted truths” that it erred by“disbanding the Iraq military, and leaving 100,000 Sunni men feeling marginalized and angry...[and] whether there were enough boots on the ground, the feeling that we’d be welcomed as liberators and didn’t need to focus as much on security.” She added “I’d feel totally comfortable saying any of that at some point, if required, on television.” The former “Today” show anchor traced her discomfort with the administration’s march to war back to the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks. “The whole culture of wearing flags on our lapel and saying ‘we’ when referring to the United States and, even the ‘shock and awe’ of the initial stages, it was just too jubilant and just a little uncomfortable. And I remember feeling, when I was anchoring the ‘Today’ show, this inevitable march towards war and kind of feeling like, ‘Will anybody put the brakes on this?’ And is this really being properly challenged by the right people? And I think, at the time, anyone who questioned the administration was considered unpatriotic and it was a very difficult position to be in.” Couric referenced comments made by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday’s “The Charlie Rose Show,” and said she actually agreed with Ahmadinejad on one point. “Oftentimes Westerners don’t really understand fully the values of this particular culture,” said Couric. “And I think the jury is still out as to whether democracy can really thrive in Iraq.” Les Moonves says "thanks" for the ratings boost, Katie.
