Kay on Today: "It Was Absolutely Prudent to Go to War Against Saddam" (Remarkable New Info)

The Today Show

[Mo1]

I sensed a surprisingly supportive tone in the manner in which Matt framed his questions.

I don't know if I'd say supportive ... but he was surprised and I do give Matt credit in asking further questions to clear things up on the way the media and the liberals are running wild and spinning Kays words

Only kooks think Bush mislead the US and they're voting Dem anyway. What independents want to know is who is held responsible for this failure?

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I've already seen comments in other forums that the White House had "gotten" to kay.

Well, he did tearfully say at the end of the interview "if my daughter can see this, I want her to know that I love her, and that she should stay strong, and that every hour brings us closer to her."

Just kidding! ;-)

Kay thinks there is a possibility (possibly a strong one) that parts of the WMD program were shipped elsewhere (equipment, starter chemicals, notes, etc.). There's no evidence that stockpiles were shipped elsewhere.

[roses of sharon]

What intrigues me is the part that the sons would have played or did play in the WMD programs or possible sale of them to terrorists.

After the sanctions would have been lifted, no telling what these wackos could have done, with Bin Ladens millions.

As others have mentioned, it will be fascinating to see how the liberal media report on Kay's remarkable statements. I expect them, and the Dem candidates, to largely ignore them.

...Saddam had the intention of developing WMDs, paid huge somes [sic] of money following his intention, and actually believed that he had them.

Ah, that would be the great military strategist that Saddam is (or was?)

BTTT for Excellent work: Providing classic material like this to those of us without the ability (and possibly the desire) to watch the show. This should be headline news around the world, but unfortunately it will probably only be here on FR :(

Good read. Thanks for writing and posting that.

Kay's similar quotes have been all over different media for three days now.

I and one or two other freepers have been pointing them out and not even fellow freepers seemed much interested until this 3rd or 4th Kay interview...

It's been reported for days now, is my point.

[prairiebreeze]

Amazing picture Quilla!

After the sanctions would have been lifted, no telling what these wackos could have done, with Bin Ladens millions.

The way Kay talked .. it sounded to me like Kay was describing a picture of how the talibin took over in Afghanistan and that how something like that could have happened in Iraq if we had not gone in there when we did

[Maria S]

"Lauer's supportive tone was almost as equally surprising..."


I'm not surprised. Call me a nut case, conspiratorial freak, whatever...I will continue to believe that ALL (ABCNBCCBSCNN) understand that Hillary Clinton intends to WIN in 2008, and to do that, President Bush HAS to win in 2004. So the appearance of a little "supportiveness" of the President is in order for right now.

Yes. As I said, these are not new remarks, but were delivered in a more open and accessible (how many housewives read the Telegraph?) environment.

He's been saying it, and if it was hard to get even freepers interested for these last days, I'm not surprised the libs ignored it.

Glad to see it finally sinking in.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

You're very welcome. For a change, the focus of my Today Show post was not the liberal bias of the host, but the important information offered by the guest.

[Mo1]

I agree. If you can hide one of these, image how easy it would be to hide a liter of anthrax....

EXACTLY!!

If you would like to be added to or removed from my ping list of semi-regular reports on liberal bias at The Today Show, please post a reply or drop me a private message.

[prairiebreeze]

Have there been any threads posted that you're aware of about the NPR or Brokaw segments?

biibears,burkeman1,

Bad news for you guys but I am feeling your pain.

torie,

Perhaps Kay is an evil neocon.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Call me a nut case, a conspiratorial freak.

OK, you're a nut case and a conspiratorial freak.

Just kidding - I wouldn't want to say that about any of my fellow FReepers. But I think it might be giving Lauer and the rest of the vast left-wing conspiracy a little too much credit for long-range planning.
