Summary: Cenk talked to former Bush speechwriter and neocon David Frum (recently fired by the right wing American Enterprise Institute). This is just an excerpt where Cenk challenges Frum with the fact that countless people would be alive today if not for the war he helped push for. You can watch the full interview on our http://www.youtube.com/user/TYTInterviews|TYT Interviews channel>.

PS---The Guardian wrote an awesome article about TYT that includes which Senator refuses to be interviewed by Cenk again and more!

2. This is why I hate Republicans
and neocons in particular: they cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, they force millions of Americans into the poorhouse, they allowed one major American city to suffer the worst terrorist attack in history, and let another drown, they gave hundreds of billions of dollars of our tax revenue to their cronies, and when it all melts down & blows up in their face they say "It wasn't my fault! I didn't do anything wrong! I'm the victim here!"

3. They have their own facts of manufactured history
He is as clueless about the plight of Iraqis as he is about the folly of the Vietnam War.......don't let the facts get in the way of your narrative-

This is the same ignorance as creationism vs. evolution as flat-earth vs. round earth, and humans being responsible for climate change vs. a normal evolutionary process - TOTAL IGNORANCE OR KNOWLEDGE DRIVEN BY THE EXPEDIENCY OF THE POCKET BOOK.

6. K&R. Rewriting history works if they repeat it often enough...
Iraq was also responsible for 9/11, right? x(

8. "We didn't kill Iraqi citizens...
insurgents did"

This ranks with the stupidest lies the right has ever uttered, and one of the most heartless as well.

10. Fuck you Frum.
Edited on Fri Apr-30-10 06:33 AM by Hissyspit
A million orphans because you lied us into a war, didn't plan it, didn't listen to the warnings, attacked the integrity of those who warned.

Fuck you. Seriously. FUCK YOU FOREVER AND A DAY.

War criminal.

12. Of course, this was the plan all allong.
It was planned incompetence.
They knew the Sunnis and the Shia would be at each others' throats.
I don't buy for a second that they didn't see that coming.
Let them kill each other off, because after all, they're sitting on "our" oil.
It's a war crime even worse than the war crimes we are blaming them for.

14. Kick: David Scum should be hiding in shame.

Or preferably in Supermax, awaiting trial along with the rest of his fellow war criminals.

The annotated link at the end of the vid doesn't work, btw.
