Keith Olbermann last night on MSNBC’s Countdown, blasted it out of the park. In probably his best work to date, Keith clearly points out the real reasons for the war in Iraq. Bush and company are the real reasons America is mired in an unpopular war in a Middle Eastern country.

Keith runs down the list of this Administration’s “who’s who” that had a hand in making the invasion of Iraq a reality. There is much talk about the ad in the New York Times accusing General Petraeus of being the “Great Betrayer” to the world about the facts of the Iraq war. He is only the mouthpiece in this saga, covering for the real betrayer of this story, that being G.W. Bush and his merry band of thieves.

Say what you will about the failed strategy of the Iraq occupation, but the bottom line is that the only reason we are there is because of a handful of war mongering politicians so blinded by their quest for power that they have blurred the line between right and wrong.

Bush would have us believe that the US military is engaging the enemy of freedom and democracy, but yet the so-called mastermind of the terror network known as Osama bin Laden, public enemy number one still remains a free man. After six years, Osama is still a threat!

As Keith put it so truthfully speaking about Bush:

Because he has spent so much American blood and treasure, in the desert of a nation that had neither means nor motive to threaten us, but that tempted Mr. Bush and those around him who wished to transform the Middle East, so much so that he forswore the vow he made, standing here, literally atop New York’s dead that their killers would hear us soon.

Six years later, we still hear them, because now, finally, Iraq and 9/11 really are connected, by him.

And we suffer the consequences.

Thank you Keith for saying what needed to be said.

One more thing to ponder: Iraq was a needless war, now Bush is planning another one with Iran. The lunacy called the Bush Administration cannot be allowed to make this happen!

There’s a lot of truth in the phrase “what goes around, comes around”, and in John Gibson’s case it’s “coming around” twice.

On last night’s MSNBC’s Countdown show, host Keith Olbermann absolutely laid into John Gibson and his mental midget producer Angry Rich, for their comments about Jon Stewart’s “heartfelt anguish” after 9/11.

Olbermann bestowed upon Gibson the award of “winner” of the “Worst Person in the World” award. The award was symbolic, but the anger in Olbermann’s voice and the fire in his eyes as he lambasted Gibson on national television made its point.

OLBERMANN: Secondly, Gibby: Jon Stewart’s expression of pain after 9-11 and yours, Gibby, and mine — that was the unity. And no matter what kind of administration propagandist I think you are and how I’ll mock you for it, I would never doubt the sincerity of your pain. You’ve got a lot of damn nerve doubting the sincerity of anybody else’s. John Gibson of Fox Noise, today’s “Worst Person in the World.”

John and “Angry” are obviously desperate for listeners to their radio program, but Gibson’s rude, hateful, uneducated, and otherwise idiotic remarks along with his producer’s very immature sound clips (the sound clip played after mentioning David Brock’s name was a real class act!) only add to the lack of integrity of the Fox News Corporation.

Give him hell Keith!
