Stewart: Exaggerated War Coverage Is Better than Exaggerations that Got Us into Many Wars

CNN [video]: "Secret newly leaked cables of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have misled the U.N. in 2012 about Iran's ability to build a nuclear bomb. Netanyahu told the general assembly Iran was one year away from producing a nuclear weapon."
STEWART: "First of all, Iran's been a year away from building a nuclear weapon for, like, 20 years now. At a certain point, I think we should think about getting them a tutor. They have been in nuclear fourth grade for a decade! And second, are you implying that that cartoon bomb drawing may be purposely inaccurate?"
AL JAZEERA [video]: "Behind the scenes, just one month after the speech, Israeli intelligence sent a very different message. This is a secret Massad analysis dated October 2012. Iran at this stage is not performing the activity necessary to produce weapons."
STEWART: "See... This is the (bleep) we should be looking into because it seems to me, you know, we might all be just a little better off if the exaggerations about covering a war get less attention than the exaggerations that got us into so many of them!"
