If it was so common sense, why didn't the current occupant of the WH exhibit a little of it?

I know W was no genius, but he did have a little common sense.

The messenger doesn't matter in this video. The only important part is the direct quote from GWB. If Maddow managed to succinctly introduce a video from a politician without being a smarmy bitch, I doubt anyone would care that the quote was provided by her program.

While I quoted someone else saying it was common sense, I don't necessarily think it was common sense. I think it was a legitimate risk that some opponents of the war raised before we invaded, but were ignored by those in favor of the war.

That was the exact opposite of smarmy though. - it was fawning and introducing the video in an very unprofessional and biased manner.

Kelly in this video reminded me of the Chris Matthews "tingles up my leg" comment about Obama. It was too doe-eyed for my liking.

If you think that was fawning, you've obviously never experienced affection from a woman.

Not an alter. It's 2 months before elections again.

Paid DNC hack. Book it.

Or did ya'll forget 2010 and 2012? Go back and look at the birth of 3-5 new DNC hack posters each cycle.

I'm disappointed in you for believing in him in the first place. The guy had zero track record of anything productive before being elected president, unless you count voting present being productive.

Not disagreeing. You won't see any news outlet giving those people credit, because it was pretty widely supported by both parties to go to war.

Fox is doing nothing here that isn't done by CNN, MSNBC, and others. Fox does get far more criticism for it though, which I find funny.

If you weren't a dumb liberal you would understand that a reporters job should be to ask tough questions and show no political bent, no matter what their politics are.

I understand you wouldn't know this because your world has always been full of biased media personnel, attacking Republicans and shilling for Dems. That isn't the way reporters are supposed to act

You have zero clue about her politics because she doesn't allow her politics to get in the way of her reporting.

NOVEL IDEA.

Back when the Mideast started heating up in the early 90's and again in early 2000's, I was admittedly under the impression that the dictators in power needed to be removed so freedom could be ushered into the region. Granted, I was in college during 9/11 and a little less informed. I've done not quite a 180, but my perspective has certainly changed.

For those people criticizing Turkey's current leader, I'd warn them to keep him right where he is. If Turkey falls to ISIS/ISIL, the region is done for, and Europe should get ready.

Why doesn't she host the video of Dick Cheney warning that we should never make the mistake of going in and toppling the Iraqi regimen as it would leave a void that would inevitably result in an attempt to create a islamo terrorist state?

I agree, actually. It is evident that the ME needed brutal dictators. There are obvious exceptions such as Saddam going after the Kurds, but over all, I don't think the ME can be controlled without dictators who can do the brutal things that no one else will do. The Arab Spring was a joke.

Just watch the ISIS videos of people dutifully lining up and going to their slaughter like sheep, never seemingly having any thought of fighting back in that moment even if doing so in a futile fashion. Those people are never going to over come the likes of ISIS.
