MSNBC's Chris Matthews: "I think the president made a big mistake this week, and maybe I'm the only one that caught it, but when he came out and said he never said that we went to Iraq because of what happened on 9/11, that Saddam was never involved in 9/11, that whole mentality, the whole culture, the country music, everything, was saying this was payback. We are getting them in Iraq because of what they did to us on 9/11, and now they come out and say I never claimed that. Well you know it's in the actual language of when he said to congress, I'm now going to pick you up on that authorization to go to war, but we are going to war tomorrow, this is in 2003 in March, we are going to war tomorrow and the reason we are going is because we are going to get the countries attacked us on 9/11 we are going to get them. He clearly said all along. The Darryl Worley song remember how you felt, and you know all that stuff, the Vice President saying that Saddam was involved in 9/11 again and again. To come out now and say I never said this was payback is B.S."
If this is verbatim, it's almost incoherent.
Matthews is just flat wrong. In fact, he's educated enough on the matter that I believe he is not just wrong, but is out and out lying.
Imus? Matthews?
The mere title demands an apology!
It's now the trendy thing to start drinking at 5AM before going on Imus???
Matthews know exactly what Bush said/didn't say....but, he hates Bush...and it trying desparately to help get him impeached...
This is crazy...in fact, I remember two things that Bush said that the left will NEVER acknowledge.
That he isn't claiming that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11...and that he NEVER said Saddam was an imminent threat..
That is another one of Chrissy's lies...that Bush said an attack by Saddam was imminent.
I cannot listen to either of them anymore...constantly constantly bashing the president in time of war. Dreadful.
I cannot listen to either of them anymore...constantly constantly bashing the president in time of war. Dreadful.
I don't believe I ever heard the President say that the Iraq war was because of 911.
Matthews also said he like McCain, Hagel and Biden!
PING
It's not just the bashing. It is the lying.
George Orwell said the same thing happened to the US and UK in WWII in the British press (but they were wary to criticize the USSR).
I disagree. Matthews is dilusional and growing more so every day. He obviously spends more time listening to the voices in his head than anything Bush ever said.
John Kerry gave the justification for the war in 1998.
They know the truth, they lie to the public nightly.
This is absolutely verbatim.
It is incoherent and it is just--wierd. I only posted one quote--this is the shortest of the raves that Matthews was on.
McVey
LOL. It seems to be catching on.

Imus speaks to MSNBC's Chris Matthews about the decision to go to war in Iraq.
Imus: "I forgot who said this, it could have been Tom Friedman or, and I always thought that after September 11th, the administration wanted, maybe they always wanted to go to war with Iraq or whatever, but they wanted to demonstrate to the Muslim community and the Muslim world that we were not going to take that and that we were going to strike back at somebody and they picked what they thought was going to be the easiest target, they thought as that moron at the CIA said that it was a slam dunk. They went in there and instead of being greeted as liberators as the Vice President told Tim Russert a week before this thing started, they got in there and the thing blew up on him and they have been there three years trying to get out."
MSNBC's Chris Matthews: "Well I am just going to stick to this point that the president led us in there with the background music of American culture. Everybody was led to believe that we were getting payback, we were avenging what happened on 9/11 and that we are going to get them. Vice President Cheney said we are going to attack terrorism at its base. Over and over the language was, this is where it came from, in fact most recently the President suggested that it was always the hot pursuit, like a new York police chase, we chased them back into their country. We pursued the terrorists back to Iraq and it's all nonsense. The reason there are terrorists in Iraq today like Zarqawi is we created the opening by blowing the country apart. From the beginning it's been not true. Now you can't prove motive and you can't prove somebody lies, but from the beginning everything about how they've got WMD's, they are a threat to us, they are going to bomb us with a nuclear weapon, this country is going to be an easy liberate, it's going to be a cake walk. As Cheney said as recently as ten months ago the insurgents are in their last throws. Everything that is said is not true. And right to the end here, here we are now and it's not a civil war and when Allawi the prime Minster is saying it is a civil war and here is the president quoting his own people that it's not a civil war. I mean the denial has been continuous. So you really can't count on the administration to tell you what is going on. That is just the fact. You've got to check it out. By the way, the president said this week that he wants the whole truth about what is going on in Iraq, the whole truth and that the media isn't telling the whole story. I'll tell you what we are not telling. We are not showing pictures of the twenty five hundred bodies coming back because they won't let us show the pictures. They don't want the whole truth out and that's the fact."
They are insane.
