Daily Show Interview Stephen F Hayes
Daily Show with John Stewart (June 22, 2004)
Interview with Stephen F Hayes
Author, “The Connection: How Al Qaeda’s Collaboration with Saddam Hussein Has Endangered America”
Senior writer, The Weekly Standard
Hayes: “I think the idea behind the Bush doctrine is that if you support or harbor terrorist we are going to come after you. We’ll consider you a hostile regime. I don’t think that frankly in the aftermath of September 11–I really don’t think that’s an unreasonable doctrine.”
Stewart: “But here’s the problem. It’s not unreasonable, but it’s not the point. The point is… I’ll list you four things: developing weapons of mass destruction, inflammatory rhetoric against the United States, supporting and harboring terrorism, and oppression of their own people.
“Now here’s the problem with your doctrine. You can’t tell me which country I just named. And that’s a problem when you’re talking about war.”
