UBL Speaks

God, the news networks live for this. Most of the talking heads seem to barely listen to the answers their guests provide. O'Reilly had Gary Schoer (sp.?) former CIA Middle East operative and author of the book Imperil Hubris. Mr. Schoer tried in vain to explain that the "war" was long-tailed" and, as such, progress is not easily measurable. O'Reilly was absolutely befuddled. His lack of intellectual ability to comprehend anything that can't be shoehorned into a 30 second snippet that jibes with his preconceived black and white notions never ceases to amaze me. The only thing more amazing is that I continue to watch his show regularly. I feel like a daily commuter that can't seem to stop myself from slowing down and gawking at the fender bender of the day.
