Barbara Walters loves Syria's dictator.

Politics: How the hell is this thing considered a top notch journalist going around saying this sort of nonsense?

GOLDBERG: So where does this misconception come from that Syria’s an issue? WALTERS: Well, first of all the country is on our terrorist list. They are against the war in Iraq, the president of Syria, who’s name is Bashir al-Assad. I’ll tell you more about him in a minute. They objected to the war in Iraq. And they are neighbors and friends of Iran. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy or whatever- the friend of my enemy is my enemy. And they are friendly with both Hamas and Hezbollah who are two groups that we consider unfriendly groups in Israel. So in other words, they have friends who are not friends of ours. They have also been accused of allowing people and terrorists to cross the border into Iraq. They say they do not do that and they haven’t and they’ve really cut down on it.

Hamas and Hezbollah are just unfriendly groups? Yeah, lovers of suicide bombing and calling for the destruction of Israel will make you be considered "unfriendly." I don't know if she is in her old age showing how stupid she is or she realizes she has to do baby talk to have The View audience follow along.
