It would seem that Katie Couric had a lot of repressed ant-americanism to get out after her trip to Iraq.¬† At the same time she’s just about killed her already dead career at CBS evening news with this latest stunt.

“Speaking at the National Press Club Tuesday evening, CBS “Evening News” anchor Katie Couric pulled back the curtain on her personal views of both the war in Iraq and former ‚ÄúEvening News‚Äù anchor Dan Rather.

“Everyone in this room would agree that people in this country were misled in terms of the rationale of this war,” said Couric, adding that it is “pretty much accepted” that the war in Iraq was a mistake.

“I’ve never understood why [invading Iraq] was so high on the administration’s agenda when terrorism was going on in Afghanistan and Pakistan and that [Iraq] had no true connection with al Qaeda.”

Further, Couric said the Bush administration botched the war effort, calling it ‚Äúaccepted truths‚Äù that it erred by‚Äúdisbanding the Iraq military, and leaving 100,000 Sunni men feeling marginalized and angry…[and] whether there were enough boots on the ground, the feeling that we‚Äôd be welcomed as liberators and didn‚Äôt need to focus as much on security.‚Äù She added ‚ÄúI‚Äôd feel totally comfortable saying any of that at some point, if required, on television.‚Äù

The former “Today” show anchor traced her discomfort with the administration’s march to war back to the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks.

“The whole culture of wearing flags on our lapel and saying ‘we’ when referring to the United States and, even the ‘shock and awe’ of the initial stages, it was just too jubilant and just a little uncomfortable. And I remember feeling, when I was anchoring the ‘Today’ show, this inevitable march towards war and kind of feeling like, ‘Will anybody put the brakes on this?’ And is this really being properly challenged by the right people? And I think, at the time, anyone who questioned the administration was considered unpatriotic and it was a very difficult position to be in.”

Couric referenced comments made by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday’s “The Charlie Rose Show,” and said she actually agreed with Ahmadinejad on one point. “Oftentimes Westerners don’t really understand fully the values of this particular culture,” said Couric. “And I think the jury is still out as to whether democracy can really thrive in Iraq.”

When the CBS news even now being reminded of it’s shameful past with liar Dan Rather suing their pants off, now comes his replacement sounding like a deranged truther.¬† The only “accepted truth” is that CBS made a mulitmillion dollar mistake in hiring her in the first place.

The reason that the vast majority of Americans do not listen to or watch or even read liberal MSM sources is just because of negative and clueless teleprompter readers such as Couric.
If they think America trust them as a news source then the eye is blind.
