He was talking about how America sending an Extra 20,000 Troops in to Iraq doesnt mean its 20,000 Active Troops at a time.

The Future of the War and what he thinks they should do and what he thinks the US is planning after he was watching Bushs Speech.

He said they should have stayed in Afganistan and finnished with Osama Before goiung into Iraq. And he said that people can Expect a lot of trouble comming from Afganistan after the snow melts

He Also said the Real winner so far of this war is Iran because the war spreading the influance of the Shi-ites which there are a lot in iran(Could be sunnis, i forget) and making them have a lot of influence over the Middle east now.

He wasnt biast at all, it was oneof the best interveiws ive seen on Iraq :)

Did he explain it was an illegitimate war?

Im not exactly sure if i can remember if he did say that or not.

I was trying to remeber his name for awhile there so i could look for it later.

It was a very Good interview though, It wasnt biast at all and he spoke what he thought and used his experiance and knowlege from going to so many conflicts over the years to explain things and whats happening.


At the end of the interview he sayed this which he quoted from some one that was on the show awhile back:

"You can hate the War but Dont hate the Warriors"
 
Has anyone found anything? :)

Google hates me and this topic and Chacha Didnt help either :(
 
Watched this last night


cause it had tricia helfer from battlestar on it,


the problem with Dan Rather was that he talks for so long that I can't concentrate on what he's saying- and if he happens to end with a joke, I won't laugh because I wouldn't know/... glad im not david letterman.


btw, Conan > Jay leno > Letterman
