I used to be a fan of ABC's Sunday morning talk show. I didn't have a lot of use for Sam Donaldson, but I thought Cokie Roberts was one smart lady. No more.
She and her husband, Steve Roberts have an editorial in the
Rocky Mountain News that is breathtaking in its ignorance of Usama bin Ladin's own words. Quoting Cokie and Steve:
But Democrats should not remain silent. They were elected with a mandate to express opposition to the war, and it's despicable for Vice President Cheney to be arguing that anti-war critics "validate the strategy of al-Qaida."
Bin Ladin expects that at every turn, the United States lacks the will to stand and fight. The anti-war critics, including the Roberts want us to forget that. This editorial is "despicable" in failing to understand our own history and why bin Laden might believe we would cut and run. Equally despicable is Robert's use of the word in falsely impuning Vice President Cheney.

Edited because I did not make it clear that Cokie used the word "despicable" inaccurately. I just threw her word back at her. My apologies to my readers.
