i originally voted 'huh?' but after watching the news i do think it's politically motivated on koppels part--1) it just happens to be anniversary of bush saying major fighting has ended and 2) koppel was on air america radio bashing pres for not admitting 'mistakes' (i think they said he was on today)--but i think it's good for us to remember the war dead and this is a good way of doing it even though it might be politically motivated...
