Posting Video From The Daily Show, Like One Of Those Annoying Whiny Liberal Blogs

I’m not one of those fucking nutjobs who thinks Jon Stewart should be president of the universe. I don’t get my news from the Daily Show and I certainly don’t repeat what I see on there as usable rhetoric in real political discussions. But every once in awhile, Jon Stewart will do something awesome, like that time he totally pwned Tucker Carlson and Paul Begala on Crossfire, or he’ll have a debate with a well-spoken guest that manages to be funny and satirical enough to work on the show, while simultaneously being level-headed and fair enough to both sides of a complicated issue. In these moments, the show is more than entertaining (but ultimately worthless) left-wing cheerleading, and actually something worth passing around to people on both sides.

In this case, Jon Stewart is talking with Doug Feith, former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy for Bush (from 2001 to his resignation in 2005), one of the so-called ‘architects’ of the war, and author of War And Decision, a memoir of exactly what went on in the Pentagon as we got into this clusterfuck in Iraq. The big question: Was the public really consciously misled into the war? Both positions are well presented, and it’s an interesting discussion regardless of which side you’re on.

Update: The video no longer works. We got rid of it. Move along.

    i almost posted a follow-up editorial, but decided against it…
    basically, here’s the conclusion to the debate:

    War Intelligence: Errors, Or Lies? The Verdict Is In

    A couple weeks ago, I posted an interesting discussion between Jon Stewart and Douglas Feith. The subject was the case for war in Iraq- how it was built, and whether the Bush administration fabricated stories and lied to sell the war, or if they were- as Feith implies in his new book- just passing along erroneous information that they truly believed to be factual.

    Well, now we know. Two final sections of a long-delayed and much anticipated “Phase II” report on the Bush administration’s use of prewar intelligence were published today, and the Senate Intelligence Committee has gone on record to confirm that senior White House officials repeatedly misrepresented facts repeated erroneous information they believed to be true lied, outright.

    Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
    I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
    God will appreciate it.

    Dear friends!

    Is it a deal to change iTunes to MP3? I say NI :) Its really annoying not being able to play iTunes tracks with my $300 iriver!
    Digging for a solution brings certain results. To [url=http://drm-removal.com/features/iTunestoMP3/convert_iTunes_to_MP3.htm]convert iTunes to MP3[/url] I used this tool drm removal (drm-removal.com or something like this, please ask me – will find that web again). I don’t care what is drm – what I read, its something dealing with protection and nothing about iTunes.
    But this tool really works for me and it converted quickly my iTuines entire library, including video files!.

    What you your solution? Why iTunes makes this inconvinience? I didn’t like ipods at all! They simple stuck and suck!
    What is that drm that I loose converting my itunes to mp3?

    thanks in advance!
