Transcript Between BIll O. and David Letterman
I thought y'all would enjoy reading this If you did not see it Friday night.
It was weird when Letterman hesitated when Bill O. asks David Letterman if he wants the United States to win in Iraq. David hesitated big time it was awkward .This left wing web site even says so in its summary.
Thought you might want to check it out.




O'Reilly: But they don't want to hear about the bad world that we live in. It's an evil world that we live in. Let me ask you something. And this is a serious question. Do you want the United Sates to win in Iraq?

Letterman: Well, you know in the beginning, here is my position in the beginning and I, I think I - I sort of felt the way everybody did, we felt like we wanted to do something, because something terrible had been done to us. We did not understand exactly why, all we knew was something terrible, something heinous, something obscene had been done to us. So while it didn't necessarily make sense to go into Iraq as it did perhaps to go into Afghanistan, I like most everybody else felt like yes, we needed to do something. And as the weeks turned into months, years and one death became a dozen deaths and hundred deaths and a thousand deaths - then we began to realize you know what? Maybe we're causing more trouble over there than the whole effort has been worth.

O'Reilly: Possible, but do you right now? Do you want the Untied States to win in Iraq?

Letterman: First of all, I don't -

O'Reilly: It's an easy question, If you don't want the United States to win -

Letterman: It's not easy for me because I'm thoughtful.

[applause]

Letterman: How 'bout that? That was a good one.

O'Reilly: That was great, Dave. You get paid for those.

Letterman: No, but uh - I, uh, What I would like would be uh, for uh, uh Americans to stop dying. And for there to be stability in that part of the world. Now if that means an American victory, ok. But I'm not sure that you can have stability in that part of the world with or without an American presence now, uh, so I would do whatever it would take to stop Americans dying.

The rest ENJOY

Great answer by Letterman, and he isn't even a pundit. Shows how absolutely nutty O'Reilly is. Hey by the way, have the embalmed Anne Coulter. I haven't seen her on TV in months.

I do not know if it was a great answer .Lynn Cheny asked Wolf Blitzer the same question and he quickly said of course we want the United States to win .We are all Americans.

Maybe Bill O. heard she asked that and used it too

Thats why Linskys usual Lefty babble is so predictable. If it's right, he's left against it no matter what. If Bill had asked Letterman if 1+1 is 2 and Letterman said "no Bill it's 3" then after the usual monkey audience [applause] you'd hear Jackie boy spout "Great answer by Letterman" LOL He so predictably ignant..
(O'Reilly: Total absurdity. I have the highest ratings in cable for the last five years) ZING !!!

Dave should stick to comedy as his debate skills with the big dawgs is sorely lacking.

He has the highest ratings on CABLE because his audience consists of people like are you KidCnot who lives in a cyclorama and are still trying to start a fire with two sticks.

I thought it was a good answer. I believe a lot of people feel exactly the same way. It's ridiculous to reduce something so complex, to something so simplistic as "do you want to win the war?" It seems that it doesn't matter anymore to some people... the reasons behind the war, or who the enemy even is.... just that we "win"... or "stay the course"... or not "cut and run"... or some other simplistic cliche.

I'm not sure what "winning" would even be. The objective was to oust Saddam, and elimininate the threat of wmd's. That was accomplished a long time ago. Now, it seems we're just over there getting roadside bombed and sniped. The three sects that are Iraq will never get along... that is a given, and known from the beginning.

Simplistic analysis is what the talk radio and Fox News channel are all about.

I'll catch you & Jerky err I mean Jackie boy up to speed. We're there now to "Try" to install a democracy like 12 million Iraqies voted for. The majority wants a stable goverment but kind of hard when Iran and Syria are sending in aggitators to stir the pot. Forming a new goverment takes time and all the secular violence isn't helping. We in the USA took 12 yrs to form are own gubment way back when but we for some reason expect others to do it instantly. I agree, either send in 250,000 more troops and clean it up and out or pack it up and move next door to Afganistan. But if we totally cut and run then Iraq will become the mother of all horrors as Iran will move in to fill the vacuum in a very short time which means we'll be right back over there.

There can be no doubt. Kid is the "Missing Link"! Okay, lets analyze his moronic diatribe in order to help him move along the evolutionary scale.

1. You don't create democracies. Democracies evolve from the bottom up. How arrogant you are little Cro-Magnon Man.

2. The vote is meaningless. After all, the German people put Adolph Hitler in power. The government in power today is not only incompetent, but they have strong ties to the Shia militias (Sadr) and their police force has been infiltrated by death squads.

3. Colonial America was a fairly homogeneous society with traditions of self-rule. Iraq of course is not. Only a functional illiterate would make this analogy.

By the way, send me your email address so I can post you a Franklyn Spell Checker. Your syntax is abysmal and it is almost impossible to ascertain what you are trying to say. I will work on this with you. Until then, tape record the shows (Limbaugh), create transcripts, and type them in these forums. That works much better then you trying to express yourself in English.

Letterman probably hesitated because he thinks it is an impossible war to win. He didn't want to say no, but also didn't want to lie and say "stay the course". That is a tough question. Of course we want to win in a war, but this was is not a war most people are supporting now and we our troops home. The administration is trying to save face by not withdrawing. IMO

Yup poochee--thats what the right wing shill do. They cast everything in either black or white and fail to see the tonal gradations. It has been known for years that this is one of the tools of the propagandist.

You deal in "tonal gradations". No wonder your so confused about life. Drop the shot glass wacky, it's to early in the day.
