O'DONNELL: Elisabeth did, wait Joy. You just said our enemies in Iraq. Did Iraq attack us?
HASSELBECK: No. I'm saying Al Qaeda which is in Iraq.
O'DONNELL: Okay did Iraq attack us, Elisabeth?
HASSELBECK: Iraq did not attack us Rosie.
O'DONNELL: Correct.
HASSELBECK: We've been there before. I'm saying our enemies, Al Qaeda, are you hearing that?
O'DONNELL: I hear it. But where do you want to go?
BEHAR: This is a political discussion. Don't interview each other. Just say what you mean.
HASSELBECK: If you're playing a game, okay, if you're playing a game and I'm going to say okay I'm going to
throw to my wide receiver, wide right, okay. Do you do that- what does it do for your enemy? It gives them time to plan.
O'DONNELL: If the enemy are innocent civilians, I don't want to play that kind of football.
HASSELBECK: The enemy are not innocent civilians.
O'DONNELL: Iraq did not attack us!
BEHAR: Don't yell at each other. Please let's have a conversation.
O'DONNELL: You know why I don't want to do this, Joy? Let me tell you why I don't want to do this. Because it
here's how it gets spun in the media: Rosie, big, fat, lesbian loud Rosie attacks innocent, pure, Christian Elisabeth.
BEHAR: Wait a minute. You don't have to, let me do it!
HASSELBECK: I haven't heard that line. Listen, I think it's unfair.
O'DONNELL: You should watch some of the shows you don't watch.
HASSELBECK: You accused me of watching all of those shows yesterday.
BEHAR: I'm okay arguing with Elisabeth.
O'DONNELL: You're just as sensitive when I'm hurt as I am when you were. Every time you were hurt, did I reach out to
you?
BEHAR: Why is this personal? There's a war going on out there. It's not personal.
SHEPHERD: You know, this is why I like watching "Dancing with the Stars." This is exactly why.
HASSELBECK: I just don't understand why it's my fault if people spin words that you put out there or phrases that
suggest things. And I gave you a opportunity, two days ago, to clarify the statement that got you in trouble on all
those issues.
O'DONNELL: That, that got me in trouble. As a friend, you gave me the opportunity. That was very sweet of you.
What I was asking is you, who actually knows me, do you believe I think our troops are terrorists, Elisabeth?
HASSELBECK: I don't think that you --
O'DONNELL: Yes or no?
HASSELBECK: I don't believe that you–
O'DONNELL: Do you believe that, yes or no?
HASSELBECK: Excuse me. Let me speak.
O'DONNELL: You're going to double speak. It's just a yes or no.
HASSELBECK: I am not a double speaker and I don't put suggestions out there that lead people to think things and then
not answer my own question.
O'DONNELL: I have a question to you and you didn't answer it.
HASSELBECK: I don't believe that you believe troops are terrorists. I have said that before. But when you say something
like 650,000 Iraqis are dead, we invaded them.
O'DONNELL: It's true.
HASSELBECK: Let me finish, "who are the terrorist?"
O'DONNELL: You don't like the facts.
HASSELBECK: I'm all about facts. You know that. You tell me not to use facts because you want me to go only on emotion.
Guess what? I like facts.
O'DONNELL: You cherry pick the facts you like.
BEHAR: Did I or did I not give this panel a list of facts?
SHEPHERD: And you know what? Oh my gosh! We're going to be right back with Alicia Silverstone!
O'DONNELL: No, no, no we're not. Because we have a lot more time.
BEHAR: If you want to change the subject, that's something.
HASSELBECK: People were criticizing you for saying that because it suggested-
BEHAR: Oh, my God!
HASSELBECK: I said take your opportunity now. You have a show right now to tell the world --
O'DONNELL: I did take my opportunity to tell the world. I wanted to know what people like you, but you are my friend,
since September, do you believe that I think our troops are terrorists? And you would not even look me in the face,
Elisabeth, and say no, Rosie.
HASSELBECK: What are you talking about?
O'DONNELL: "I can understand how people are would have thought that, why don't you take this opportunity" like I'm six.
HASSELBECK: Because you are an adult and I'm certainly not going to be the person for you to explain your thoughts to. They're your
thoughts. Defend your own insinuations.
O'DONNELL: I defend my thoughts.
HASSELBECK: Defend your own thoughts.
O'DONNELL: Right, but every time I defend them, Elisabeth, it's poor little Elisabeth that I'm picking on.
HASSELBECK: You know what? Poor little Elisabeth is not poor little Elisabeth.
O'DONNELL: That's right. That's why I'm not going to fight with you anymore because it's absurd.
So for three weeks you can say all the Republican crap you want.
HASSELBECK: It's much easier to fight someone like Donald Trump, isn't it? Because he's obnoxious.
O'DONNELL: I've never fought him. He fought me. I told a fact about him --
BEHAR: How did I get out of this conversation? I was in the middle of this conversation.
HASSELBECK: I gave you an opportunity to clarify.
O'DONNELL: You didn't give me anything. You don't have to give me. I asked you a question.
HASSELBECK: I asked you a question.
O'DONNELL: And you wouldn't even answer it.
HASSELBECK: You wouldn't even answer your own question.
O'DONNELL: Oh Elisabeth, I don't want- you know what? You really don't understand what I'm saying?
HASSELBECK: I understand what you're saying.
BEHAR: Let's go. Come on that's it!
HASSELBECK: I think it's sad. I think it's sad because I don't understand how there can be such hurt feelings when
all I did way say, "look, why don't you tell everybody what you said?" I did that as a friend
O'DONNELL: All you did is not defend me. I asked you if you believe that I thought--
HASSELBECK: You didn't answer your own question. I don't believe that you're defending-
O'DONNELL: Elisabeth, every day since September I have told you I support the troops.
HASSELBECK: I have done the same for you.
O'DONNELL: I asked you if you believed what the Republican pundits were saying.
HASSELBECK: Did I say yes?
O'DONNELL: You said nothing and that's cowardly.
HASSELBECK: No, no, no. Do not, do not call me a coward. Because number one, I sit here every single day and open
my heart and tell people exactly what I believe. Do not call me a coward, Rosie. I do not hide. I was not cowardly.
It was honest.
O'DONNELL: It was.
HASSELBECK: What is cowardly?
BEHAR: Is there no commercial on this show?
HASSELBECK: Asking, asking, I'll tell you what's cowardly. Asking a rhetorical question that you never answer yourself.
BEHAR: Who is directing this show? Let's go to commercial. Let's go to commercial.
