Sunday, June 4, 2006
Every Sunday CUIP’s political coordinator Jacqueline Salit and strategist/philosopher Fred Newman watch the political talk shows and discuss them. Their dialogue becomes "Talk Talk." Below is an excerpt from Sunday, June 4, 2006 after viewing "The Chris Matthews Show,” "Meet the Press” and "The McLaughlin Group.” To read it in its entirety, go to: www.cuip.org
Salit: Hans Blix was on “Meet the Press.”
Newman: Can we run him for president?
Salit: He does seem like a very sensible fellow.
Newman: He says quite forthrightly, ‘If we’d had 2½ more months in Iraq, we could have told you whether there were or weren’t weapons of mass destruction.’
Salit: Yes.
Newman: ‘So, what was the rush?’ Answer: the neocons. I think it just becomes more and more plain that the war was a political decision.
