Hitchens: Our Soldiers Were Greeted as Liberators

Media Blog
Stephen Spruiell Reporting

Via Mark Finkelstein, Christopher Hitchens was on top of his game as usual in debunking some of the myths about Iraq that have pervaded the national consciousness via the media:

<<< Matthews was running through a litany of what he termed "strike-outs" for the Bush administration in Iraq. When he got to "strikes out on the fact that we were going to be greeted as liberators," Hitchens interrupted:

HITCHENS: No, no. We were greeted as liberators. I saw it myself.

MATTHEWS: The pictures, yeah.

HITCHENS: No, no, I was there. I saw it myself, many many times. American soldiers and British soldiers were greeted by hundreds of thousands of people with real joy. I saw it myself. I can't believe people say it didn't happen." >>>

Because people like Matthews let them get away with it.
