Video - ABC ThisWeek: Asked about DSM, Condi dodges legality of Iraq war

After being asked to respond to the a quote from the DSM hearing, Condi dodges the issue of the legality of the Iraq war.

George Stephanopoulis is happy to give Condi's spin some free air time and he doesn't bother to ask a single follow-up question.

Utterly pathetic journalism.

1. "Build a better Middle East"?

And we are accomplishing that how? And WHY do we need to do it Condi? Didn't Stephanopoulus later say something to the effect that she was not answering the question?

Biden on FTN talked about one would basically have to be a fool to not see what a mess it is there and that things are much, much worse than they were two years ago.

2. Actually I'm surprised he even asked her about it.

Takes a lot of nerve for little Georgie boy.

3. I was so pleased that

he showed a clip of Sheehan's testimony that I started a thread about it earlier.

4. Watch the beginning too

And they edited the shit out of her response, and did a horrible edit.

The beginning of her response is cut and her voice overlaps. She was stumbling for a reply i guess, and ABC made a friendly edit.

Thanks ABC.

7. Message to CondaLoser:

CondaLiar: You are part of the Losing Team. I think that fact is slowly sinking into your brain. The facts are inescapable. The winds have shifted, and they are not in your favor. They never were. You just thought brute force was enough to overcome the vast majority of AN ENTIRE WORLD.

You knew the odds of succeeding were very, very small. Yet you went ahead and did it anyway. The cost was enormous: in terms of lives: inconceivable. In terms of treasury dollars: in the stratosphere.

As the heat starts going up, where will you find yourself, Condi? Will you be one of the first to bail out and wash your hands of the whole mess? Or will you hang on to the bitter end? Not because of loyalty because it doesn't exist in the Bush Admiistration, but for your own ego's sake.....for your pride.....

How long, Condi?

8. Pathetic. I cannot believe he doesn't ask a single follow-up question.
