I refuse to respond to anything that lying sack of bloated cow has to say, and I'm sure I'm not alone in my way of thinking

I conclude the preservatives and sulfites in the Ho-Hos,Doritos and Haagen Dasz she consumes daily have destroyed whatever bovine synapses she was spawned with............

Whether Rosie is a bloated cow or not, is actually besides the point.

I checked the first section of the clip several times. I couldn't find where she precisely said what the Scarborough guy presented.

People just don't like to see 'The American Holy Cow" scrachted.

Typical, disproportionate media spectacle...

Rosie is highly ungraceful and much of what she said is factually inaccurate. However, the point she attempted to make is not completely invalid. War is terror. "Shock and awe" was an attempt to make the entire country pause in a serious way and tremble in their shoes . . . . . from terror.

This notion that our wielding deadly force is going to be automatically honorable and lead to good results is just whack. The point Scarborough's guests made about Shias and Sunnis doing a lot of the killing is of course true but it was the raw power of Uncle Sam that upset the fragile applecart of their semi-calm, if deeply troubled society.

Will the country be better off for it; was the semi-peaceful coexistence of Sunnis and Shias that Saddam's rule brought a sham held together only by brutal henchman? Was it a cruel ruse that needed to be toppled to allow things to get way worse before they could get better? We're not going to know the answer to those questions for some time.

One thing that I do know is bogus, is this business of labeling from day one any Iraqi who fought against our guys as terrorists. What nonsense. Those guys were in their country, fighting off what they thought to be invaders.

Regardless of what you think of Saddam, the families of the Republican Guard who were killed mounting what they believed to be an honorable defense of family and home are never going to believe that their sons were terrorists. And until we can somehow motivate a sizable enough number of them to agree that the mission of Uncle Sam is one they want to embrace, we're going to continue our lengthy harvest of grief.

Cause these people have too many centuries of conditioning as fighters to ever surrender on their own soil.

I'm with you on this one. I have an intense dislike for Rosie and usually am at odds with her opinions and methods, but this is a case where she is having words put in her mouth.

I think she was suggesting that from the point of view of the Iraqi in the street, the terror that had been brought into their everyday lives was at the hand of the US. I didn't hear her blame soldiers specifically. I think it was a condemnation of policy, not people. And I think there is some truth in what she said, specifically that from the POV of the average Iraqi things got much more dangerous for them after the US invaded. I'll bet that is a widely-held belief in Iraq.

Rosie's problem (well, one of them at least) is that she is so well known for shooting her mouth off constantly and for making inflamatory statements that in a case like this it is very easy to spin what she said. Who wouldn't believe a headline that says "Rosie labels US troops as 'terrorists'". Its almost like the boy who cried wolf. Nobody believes you when it counts because of all the crap you've talked in the past.
