ABC’s Barbara Walters: America Went to War Without ‘The Facts’

Photo of Scott Whitlock.

Perhaps the strident liberalism of Rosie O’Donnell and Joy Behar is emboldening Barbara Walters? On the Monday edition of "The View," the ABC journalist insisted that America went to war with Iraq without knowing the facts. Walters made her assertion follwing comments from the liberal O’Donnell, who touted the fact that she wore a "No War" t-shirt prior to the 2003 invasion, and co-host Behar’s claim that "they [the Bush administration] lied to us!" The veteran correspondent responded to these statements by sounding like more of an activist and less of a journalist:

Barbara Walters: "We didn't have the facts at that time."

Joy Behar: "That's right."

Walters: "We did not have the facts. And it is true that we have not seen– We have– We- The most brutal pictures we saw were the pictures of Saddam Hussein being hanged. We have not seen some of, some of the terribleness that have happened to our men and women. And I do think, and if you look at the polls, that the tide is turning. What the answer is, nobody seems to know."

A few seconds earlier, at 11:18am, token conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck preceded the Walters comment by asserting that many media outlets, which she believed to be supportive of the Iraq War initially, have since grown biased in their coverage:

Rosie O’Donnell: "The war has been sanitized. We don’t see dead bodies. We don't see coffins coming home. We don't see funerals and we don't see the amputees. We don’t see them. This has been sanitized, this war, for us."

Behar: "They have to come up with a new idea."

Elisabeth Hasselbeck: "I'm sorry, but we're also saturated with media who are incredibly aware of what's going on and giving us updates all the time."

Behar: "Really? Then why don't they show the coffins?"

Hasselbeck: "Why? Ask them."

O’Donnell: "Because the President forbid it."

Hasselbeck: "I’m saying, everything out there in the media, you have to say, is awfully slanted in terms of what is going on with this war. When it was time to invade, everyone was on the same page."

Behar: "Because they lied to us."

O’Donnell: "Not me! I wore a ‘No War’ t-shirt on ‘Donahue.’"

[crosstalk]

Behar: "Listen to Barbara. Go ahead. Go ahead, say it!"

[Walters feigns shock about being listened to.]

O’Donnell: "You're on!"

[Applause]

Walters: "We didn't have the facts at that time."

Behar: "That's right."

Walters: "We did not have the facts. And it is true that we have not seen– We have– The most brutal pictures we saw were the pictures of Saddam Hussein being hanged. We have not seen some of, some of the terribleness that have happened to our men and women. And I do think, and if you look at the polls, that the tide is turning. What the answer is, nobody seems to know."

Walters, who recently named Nancy Pelosi "the most fascinating" person of 2006, is sounding less like a journalist and more like her (mostly) liberal co-hosts.

The most brutal pictures we saw were the pictures of Saddam Hussein being hanged. We have not seen some of, some of the terribleness that have happened to our men and women. 

Walters better be careful.. is she saying that she'd RATHER see some of the terribleness (is that a word?) that our own soldiers have had to suffer, as opposed to watching Saddam hang?  Ok, maybe that's not what she was trying to say, and God knows, nobody will call her on it.. except for NBr's.  But IMO reading her words makes her sound almost sympathetic to Saddam and his, oh so appropriate execution.

These people are so bass-ackwards it just boggles the mind.

Saddam

Anyone with internet access can find videos of Saddam's henchmen throwing people off buildings, lopping off heads, tongues, fingers, and hands, and Kurdish poison gas results.

These gas bags have obviously chosen to sanitize these atrocities from their memories. Or how often Saddam was attacking our planes.

  Ignorance is bliss. It's easier to repeat a mindless slogan (Bush lied!) than to do some actual research.

The View

As RR once said, "There you go again". These morons on The View are simply a bunch of backyard gossips who are a disgrace to intelligent  womanhood. Uninformed blabbermouths, they play to the idiots who actually take them seriously. The terrorists love 'em too, I'm sure. (The enemy within).

NEVER,NEVER trust a liberal

These Witches are sick! They want to see coffins and amputees? Would they derive some sort of pleasure by seeing the results of war? Or do they want to mourn for the sacrafice it takes for their freedom. Which is it?

"If we ever forget that we are a Nation Under God....then we will be a Nation Gone Under."  Ronald Reagan

We had the facts in 1990-91.

We had the facts in 1990-91.  We kicked Saddamned back to Baghdad and made him agree to conditions for a cease-fire.  During the time from 1996 through 2003 he violated those conditions, thus making war a legitimate option. 

The U.N. chose inaction. Clinton opted for dropping a few bombs on aspirin factories and talking tough.  Bush decided to invade Iraq, remove Saddamned from power and establish an elective government.  These are "the facts."

People can disagree with the option Bush chose, but they have no right to claim we went to war without "the facts"!  Anyone who does so is a treasonous bastard in my book.

Bingo mattm!!!!!

Bingo mattm!!!!!

The Saddam regime did not adhere to the terms of the cease-fire. Saddam was extremely fortunate we did not take him out after we kicked his storm troopers out of Kuwait in the early 90's.  We cut him some slack.  Saddam rewarded this benevolence shown him by the coalition by spitting in our face for 10+ years.  Saddam did not live up to the terms of the cease-fire to which he agreed at the time.  What other reason was necessary to take him out?   I don't care about WMD's or any of the other crap libs continue to whine about.  Saddam broke the cease-fire agreement - end of story.

I'm also getting pretty sick and tired of these whiny libs that were preaching a different story on 9/11 while falling all over themselves just to stand shoulder to shoulder with this same President they knew would protect their panic-stricken selves. Yes, for going on 6 years now this President has lived up to his promise to protect them from another terrorist attack and this "he lied to us" crap is the reward these ingrates show him.

How they can defend being more hostile toward the President now than the scum of the earth terrorists that would like nothing more than to filet Rosie O'D for her perverted sex is beyond my comprehension.

don't forget, Ramsey Yousse

don't forget, Ramsey Youssef came to the US on an IRAQI passport and Bombed(with goal to topple) the WTC in 1993, on the 2 Year Anniversary of the Liberation of Kuwait! His cousin Khalid Sheik Mohammed took his idea and finished it off on 9/11.............why this is never brought up is beyond me. Oh yeah, Bill Clinton did nothing in response to this.

Act progressive, "Progressives"

Please don't be offended but that is exactly the point I was trying to make.  I don't care about any of the other reasons (pro or con) for finishing this fight with Saddam.  There is really only ONE reason we are back in Iraq right now.  Saddam did not abide by the treaty of the Gulf War.  After that nothing else matters.  The fact (for our factless friends on the View) that Saddam continually broke the terms of the cease-fire is enough, the war continues, Saddam is taken out, no more need for any discussion.

I am tired of the political right having to defend this action.  I understand the desire to support the argument with facts but we only get lured into a lengthy discussion by libs laced with nuance and talking-points in which the left-controlled media will spin out of control just to suport their ideology - regardless of the facts.  We need to keep it simple for the stupids in America who voted Democrat last year just because nobody on the left or right told them the only fact that matters..... we were enforcing the cease-fire. Instead we played on the left's terms muddying up the argument with facts most Americans could/would not be bothered with....too heavy man.  There was only one real reason why we went back in to Iraq......Saddam broke the terms of the cease-fire.

This is what is so infuriating.  This crap has been going on in the Middle East since time began.  War, cease-fire, war, cease-fire, for century upon century.  It is far past time to change this mindset.  It is time to set up Democracies that wish to coexist with their neighbors without having to set yet another cease-fire knowing that it will be broken at some future date.  It is possible. There are plenty of examples of Democracies that have lived peacefully coexisting with their neighbors for decades.  Mexico and the US for starters.  Iraq has that opportunity right now.  That is what we should be focussing on.  We are not supporting this historical change in Iraq in the least by discussing ad nauseum the reasons for or against taking out Saddam.  On the contrary, we are damaging this chance for peace in Iraq and possibly, eventually, the whole Middle East.  If the libs are all for peace like they lecture us then I pray they would just please shut up and give peace a chance.  We can't change behavior that has existed for centuries in only a few years.  And we certainly can't change this circular war/cease-fire behavior by not initiating positive change.  These "progressives" should start acting more progressive.

spitting in our face for 10+

"If we ever forget that we are a Nation Under God....then we will be a Nation Gone Under."  Ronald Reagan

Facts are Facts

"No you don't want them to disappear."

Yes, I do want them to disappear.  I understand your point Ed but we have tried this and possibly thought it was a sound principle.......until the last election. A good portion of thinking-challenged Americans get their "View" (ideology) from these self-absorbed Democrat mouthpieces that American TV's are constantly inundated with.  I don't state this position off the cuff.  I have given it serious thought.  I have just recently reached my conclusion based on the following two points:

The first point is Katrina.  Now unlike the mayor of Chocolate town, formerly known as New Orleans, I have no desire to play the race card.  I prefer to play the stupid card.  Fact be told, the reason most of the stranded folks found themselves in their troubling situation is stupidity.  I think most would agree that if you lived below sea level on the coast and a cat 5 hurricane was approaching the smart thing to do would be to get to higher ground.  That's ground - not attic. Having found higher ground, the last thing you would want to do is trash your higher ground (Superdome).  It would be nice but untruthful to assume all Americans are smart and can think for themselves.  The results of Katrina will not allow such thought.  All the folks that were rescued either from their rooftops or from the trashed Superdome had one thing in common.  They made some stupid mistakes.  Having established there are quite a lot of Americans that lack common sense, programs such as The View that cater to that mind(less)set are not helpful to their audience that for all intents and purpose lack critical thought and therefore not helpful to America as a whole.  To state that because the host's/guests are fact-challenged will offfer a good reason to be conservative doesn't wash because the audience doesn't possess that level of critical thinking.  All the audience knows is what they hear and what they hear is Republicans bad.  Which brings me to my second point. 

Second point is the last election - once again, having established there are many Americans that lack common sense it bears mentioning that you don't have to be intelligent to vote in America. I have heard quite a lot of pundits dismissing the idea that the media cost conservatives the last election.  I disagree.  At the least, the media played a significant role in persuading Americans to vote Democratic.  Particularly, folks with not enough sense to escape a hurricane or trash their shelter but can afford a big screen TV with cable hook-up.  If you are not too bright, you will probably spend more time watching TV than working. And what are people that aren't too bright going to watch?  The Cavuto Report or The View?  The View.  So what is this greatest influence in their world telling them?   Bush is bad, Iraq war is bad, big oil is bad, Republicans are corrupt, conservatives are racist homophobes, you've got to get to the polls and vote for Democrats, etc, etc.

Based on these two points, I would like to see less shows on network TV, such as The View, that proselytize stupid Americans with their political ideology.

I think the current media is the greatest threat to our country and consequently the rest of the world.  If not taken off the air completely, I think biased shows with 3/4 of the hosts and nearly all the guests pulling for the Democratic party should  at the least be balanced by the networks with competing shows pulling the other way.

It is not the moderate choir that is in need of convincing that there are idiots like those on the View.  It is the idiots that watch the View that need some opposing ideas to get them thinking.  It is the only way stupid Americans will have a chance of being exposed to new ideas and possibly make a positive change for themselves and America.  Just my opinion (too angry at the media to be humble).  End rant....sorry for the length.

The View

Jerry Springer and The View. Circus freak shows.

NEVER,NEVER trust a liberal

Exactly what facts did we not

Exactly what facts did we not have? Saddam was a tyrant who was a proven threat to his neighbors, the entire Middle East and to us to a certain degree. His removal from power was the standing policy of the Cintonistas and was duly authorized by the Underfunded Nations.  Billy Boy couldn't bring himself to enforce that policy, so GWB did it.  Now Saddam is history.  Seems easily understood to me.

I've got 'em.  You left them in a briefcase when rushing to board the flight to La La Land.  I found them under the chair you were sitting in.  A whole briefcase of facts.  There were big facts, little facts, healthy and infirm facts, there were facts of all ages and different ethnic origins.

There were also the cute little factoids and their children.  One of the facts was holding a little factoid kid and another was running up and down that pen holder inside the case.  It was so cute.

I had to smile.

Both stories are about this, dated July 2004;

The
UN’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA), was very upset last week that the US had shipped about 1.8 tons
of low-enriched uranium and other radioactive material out of Iraq for
disposition in the US.

But this is what I am most interested in;

http://cbs11tv.com/topstories/local_story_174230205.html

http://www.antimedia.us/posts/1151121380.shtml

which are both about this;

A Denton man says the United States was premature in calling off the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

He was one of a handful of people who helped the U.S. military in its
search, and says he's concerned about four sites in Iraq that he knows
were not searched.

Dave Gaubatz, who is a retired military counter-terrorism agent,
believes biological and chemical weapons could be buried at the four
sites in Iraq.

The now chief investigator for the Dallas County
Medical Examiner’s Office disputes the U.S.'s previous findings
that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq before the war.

This from the antimedia link;

According to Gaubatz "fresh" WMD were buried under the Euphrates River
near Nasiriyah, in southern Iraq. He and other federal agents
(civilians) identified, with the help of some local Iraqis who are now
in the US (no doubt for their protection), four separate sites where
WMD were buried, and to date no one
has even bothered to check them. Charles Duelfer, according to Gaubatz,
did a "substandard" job running the Iraqi Survey Group, the group
tasked with tracking down Iraq's WMD.

Went to war with enough facts

Went to war with enough facts to get Saddam Hussein tried and convicted and executed by the majority of his countrymen and women?   Bluffed Saddam into finally coming clean is much different than assuming (Barbara) that the facts we had were worth any presumption of truth.  Was this fact>> Saddam had one last chance to convince us he was believable even though there were enough facts to get him condemned to death by his own peoples?  Barbara why shouldn't Iraqi's and Afgan's have opportunity for freedoms Martin Luther King so well esposed and fought for with his language as that it was for all and not just those in our own (democrat's?) backyard?  Where were the Democrats with their responsiblity for checks and balances even on intelligence before they cast the vote with which the President went to war?  If you want all around values to raise your american children with you might just want to look to Republicans just for sheer consistency and logical pshycological progression.

The View Will Be Better When America Is Defeated

I utterly hate this show. It's a show by women for women and as a woman I can't stomach it because it's utterly stupid. Is that how they view women (their audience) in general? I guess so when you see the ratings. People like Babwa, Joy, and Rosie like to hear themselves talk, like to hear how they were right and conservatives were wrong, how Saddam was a god we should not have touched. Babwah has no moral authority to criticize or display outrage. When will the women in this country wake up and realize what these people are up to? You're being lied to by these dishonest shleps and it ain't the first time.

By accident I figured out the time slot this show is in today and promptly changed my background noise.  "Acumen"  please don't forget about their being white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate and maybe you are the one to ask Mayor Nagin if such crossed his mind? 

Signed back on with the "facts" comment still leaving Barbara gasping for air what with facts this administration went to war was for some reason I believe thought by them still to be in the memory banks of the media and Democratic leadership since their arguements seemed to be to harken us back to full discussions had about not going into Baghdad in Persian Gulf War (if she wasn't gasping she should be if she finished reading my sentence.).  How was Bush administration to know that MSM and Democrats had completely forgotten or just refused to refer to what seemed just a footnote to Bush 43's simple arguement?  I don't know anywhere that Saddam convinced anyone he had changed and wasn't threat he was recorded to be in those earlier but still prealzheimer era for our Democratic deciders and MSM.  No wonder Bush has reinvented work for decision makers >> no evidence exists that Democratic Leadership knew any longer what a "decision maker" was.  President Bush thank you for even trying dumbing down your language to get them to start thinking or just maybe researching or just basically doing their what I thought was their job.  If you are an radical isolationist I can understand why you still believe in Dean Democrats.  The facts didn't change >> Barbara you all just refused to look at them in context.

What about these 4 stories

What about these 4 stories from 2006 about Iraq WMD's, all from the New York Sun;

http://www.nysun.com/article/27110

The House Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence is studying 12 hours of audio recordings
between Saddam Hussein and his top advisers that may provide clues to
the whereabouts of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.

"I still believe there are key
individuals who have not been debriefed and there are key sites that
have never been investigated. I know there are 35,000 boxes of
documents that have never been translated. I am frustrated," Mr.
Hoekstra said.

or this;

http://www.nysun.com/article/27000?page_no=1

WASHINGTON - Nearly a year and
a half after a final report from American weapons inspectors concluded
they could not uncover evidence of stockpiles of weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq, the chairman of the House Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence has reopened the question, launching an
inquiry and asking the director of national intelligence to re-examine
the issue.

Prime Minister Sharon and his
Israel Defense Force chief of staff during the Iraq war, Moshe Yaalon,
have said weapons were transferred from Iraq to Syria before the war, a
view also promoted by a former Iraqi air force general, Georges Sada.
Senator Clinton last week acknowledged that the possibility is still a
live one, saying, "there were no weapons, or if there were, they
certainly weren't used or they were in some way disposed of or taken
out of the country."

from Dec. 2005

http://www.nysun.com/article/24480?page_no=1

Saddam Hussein moved his
chemical weapons to Syria six weeks before the war started, Israel's
top general during Operation Iraqi Freedom says.

The assertion comes as President Bush said yesterday that much of
the intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction was incorrect.

How could they have gotten WMD's out of Iraq without anyone noticing?

http://www.nysun.com/article/26514?page_no=1

The man who served as the no.
2 official in Saddam Hussein's air force says Iraq moved weapons of
mass destruction into Syria before the war by loading the weapons into
civilian aircraft in which the passenger seats were removed.

CNN has the damn story here;

http://archives.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/meast/06/05/syria.dam/index.html

Also something to keep in mind about Syria

Syria is one of only eight
countries that has not signed the Chemical Weapons Convention, a treaty
that obligates nations not to stockpile or use chemical weapons.
Syria's chemical warfare program, apart from any weapons that may have
been received from Iraq, has long been the source of concern to
America, Israel, and Lebanon. In March 2004, the director of Central
Intelligence, George Tenet, testified before the Senate Armed Services
Committee, saying, "Damascus has an active CW development and testing
program that relies on foreign suppliers for key controlled chemicals
suitable for producing CW."

The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price,
peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of
soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.
