... Though the words might be erased from a million books and a billion memories, though the world be covered knee-deep in your lies, the truth shall prevail.

This, sir, is your war.

Sen. Clinton has reinforced enemy propaganda? Made it impossible for you to get your ego-driven, blood-steeped win in Iraq?

Then take it into your own hands, Mr. Bush.

Go to Baghdad now and fulfill, finally, your military service obligations.

Go there and fight, your war. Yourself.

[BrklynLiberal]

1. Go there and fight, your war. Yourself. YESSSSSSSSS!!!

Is there ANY other media person who has the courage to say it like it is the way KO does???

[RavensChick]

21. Nope

I would'nt have it any other way. Keith is saying what we all have been thinking, and I love it!

:yourock:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. Wow!

Words escape me.......would this would happen.

My husband just asked if Olbermann was running for President. When I said no, he said, "That's a shame."

[HysteryDiagnosis]

3. He has a much more important job, he shakes people out of a

fear induced stupor and sets them about doing critical thinking sprinkled with a dash of commonsense.

He photographs sooooo well!!

:loveya:

[jimlup]

14. Keith was at his best tonight!

Keith was on tonight. He was absolutely angry which I love. We should all be as angry as Keith O.

[paparush]

15. Bush's Latest Executive Order - "The Olberman Order"

Bush** - Karl, I want that Doberman fella gone..ya heere me..I want him fucking gone! Now watch this drive.

[RavensChick]

17. In his wildest dreams

Keith is on a mission and he won't stop! This Special Comment was just what the doctor ordered tonight!! Bush would'nt know how to stop Keith or anyone else if he tried.

[KAT119]

22. Jumped for relief and shear joy to hear this unexpected 'Special Comment"

by the rare and priceless Voice for Truth, Keith tonight!!!

[RavensChick]

23. And the best part is

he started the show with it rather than waiting until the end. Now THAT is how you get it out in the open.

[brettdale]

24. Keep Kicked

And send to Faux News Journos, so they can know what real Journalism is.

[RavensChick]

25. n/t

:rofl:

Faux Noise doesn't know the meaning of the word!

[Raster]

26. 24! K&R!

absolutely amazing!:kick:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

27. This. Is. Your. War.

Amen KO

[AllegroRondo]

28. "the utter de-prioritization of human life, ..."

"...simply so a politician can avoid having to admit a mistake."


Damn, thats good.

[OneGrassRoot]

29. I hope KO is inspiring other TRUE journalists to do their jobs....

Matthews was on Leno speaking the TRUTH, but it seems that's saved for late-night TV. Tweety is very inconsistent with his stance on this administration during his own show. Maybe KO can give him the couragastroesophageal he and others seem to lack.

[Pawel K]

30. He also said the "I" word in that comment last night

Olbermann is my new hero.

[info being]

31. That's kind of a silly thing to say...

...Presidents don't join the military. I don't get it.

[Ghost in the Machine]

33. It *should* be a requirement though...

If you send your Country to war, go with them and fight right beside them. After all, you are the Commander-in-Chief, right? Yes, go fight, Chicken George, go fulfill your committment to the TANG.

Chickenhawk!

[AllexxisF1]

32. I have been hearing ....

I am glad to hear Keith slam home that this IS Bush's War.I have been hearing lately a lot of Freepers poking at the idea that this is somehow Congress's war. Earlier this past week some have been pushing the notion that since the President only has 90 days to conduct operations before it has to be approved by the Congress. Therefore beyond those 90 days it has been Congress's fault.

Which of course is complete and utter bullshit. But it go's to show the classic angle Rupugs will go to. Now there tactic is simply to blame someone else for the whole war.

34. ". . .even if to do so requires, first, that you must be impeached and removed as president"

. . .we are leaving Iraq, and sooner rather than later, and we are doing it even if to do so requires, first, that you must be impeached and removed as president of the United States, sooner rather than later. . .
