The interview went O.K. until the end, where bevelacqua basically explained the whole phenomenon as 'conservative men and their natural inclination toward war'. Well, this is bob gatfield's show, and he could have not included this bit, or he could have mentioned: Scott Ritter, Marine Officer; Brent Scowcroft, Admiral; or Eric Shinseky, General. But instead garfield just said "thanks alot, bob". And this is EXACTLY the sort of pro-war shit that NPR and PBS has been spewing these last 8 years; the unblinking acceptance that war is the only truly groovy thing to do. garfield showed what a weak-spined chump he relly is, and our nation has suffered immeasurably because of him and the rest of the fake journalists who presented this war as a natural decision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
