Most of the interview was based around the old lie that George Bush manipulated intellegence to drag the United States into an illegial war with Iraq.
I could rant and rave about a lot of what Senator Rockefeller had to say. But one thing really jumped out at me.
Chris Wallace had just played a video clip from October 2002 where Senator Rockefeller says that "Iraq poses an imminent threat."
Then Chris Wallace tried to get the Senator to admit that he was hyping intellegence even more than he has blamed the President for doing.
Senator Rockefeller's replied this way:
No. I mean, this question is asked a thousand times and I'll be happy to answer it a thousand times. I took a trip by myself in January of 2002 to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria, and I told each of the heads of state that it was my view that George Bush had already made up his mind to go to war against Iraq, that that was a predetermined set course which had taken shape shortly after 9/11.
What I heard in this answer was that a United States Senator went on a trip to a known foreign enemy - Syria, and told Syria's head of state that the United States was getting ready to attack one of their allies - Iraq, before that attack ever took place.
Now I may be a bit naive but that smacks of treason.
