COUNTDOWN Olbermann with Jon Soltz on Iraq War, Bush,Cheney

Keith Olbermann speaks with Jon Soltz.
"I assure you, this will not be a campaign of half measures". The words of George Walker Bush exactly five years ago tonight -- as he plunged America into a war that to date has cost 3,991 American soldiers their lives... Cost four-and-half million Iraqis their homes.... Cost the American taxpayer 526 billion dollars ..with hundreds of billions more already unavoidable. Yet in our third story on the Countdown, the President still declared this morning... with a straight face.. that quote "The successes we are seeing in Iraq are undeniable".

blown off course?!?!?! which course?? the course to find WMD?? the course to break al qaeda and saddam ties?? the course to bring freedom to the iraqi people?? or the course to secure it's oil?

[aakozanoglu]

The course has been set not entirely for the purpose of securing/stealing a sovereign nations oil/riches but also for a bigger but less generous/altruistic reason...securing Israel at the expense of the security of the US.

Why on earth would we give Hillary the power to run the country when she's clearly shown that she can't even run a primary campaign? She was up by 25 points, all she had to do was steer the ship straight ahead, coast on her husband's economic record in the 90's, shy from inflammatory statements and she would have won the nomination in a landslide. Let's get someone in there that's good at building and creating instead of destroying and fumbling.

[aakozanoglu]

Exactly, she destroyed her chances by being excessively greedy. I wonder if she is involved in the latest State Department scandal...

[slogans777]

If you're speaking of Fox, you are correct. There have been "experts" on every show, although representatives of the current administration only appear on select venues that are partial to them. Will Cheney ever appear on Olberman's show or with Jon Stewart? Of course not. Bush hasn't been honest in the past seven years. This speech underscores his deceptions, rewriting history in a vain attempt to legitimize the invasion. Why not explain why Muqtada's militia has stood down?

[aakozanoglu]

Did you hear how Cheney replied to a reporter's question (how did he see the fact that 2/3 of Americans do not believe the 'surge' is not working)? 'So' was his answer.

We Brits are also fighting and dieing off the back of Bush/Chen/Rice/Powe et alls LIES. What a b*stard eh, what a b*stard.

enjoy the internet of anonymity you idiot. bet you don have the balls to say that in front of the "faggot's" face

[StewartKB]

Someone put two in this faggots face.

it's his fathers "NWO" new world order philosophy; start a war and create chaos with in the worlds financial markets and start a second war (iran) and finally kill off all economic hope; only if all of the "new world order" parties are ready and it seems they are; so iran will be attacked; soon!

which is another course that is off course since saddam didnt have wmd's to fire at israel

[sundowner1646]

i think hillary would have had the nomination wrapped up on super tuesday if the phrases "jesse jackson won in 88" and "fairy tale" were never uttered. keep in mind, she just won the nevada "caucus" prior to south carolina, she definitely had the momentum and was winning the swing vote. she lost places like missouri, washington, virginia, wisconsin, etc.. because of her husband's openly racist comment and completely inexcusably stupid attempt to trump the one card obama had over her.
