The plan for the takeover of Iraqs' oilfields were number one priority of the Shrub's administration from day one. No news there.

I'm recording it as well. I hope she can do it as straightforward documentary and not in her typical snarky, preachy tone.

I admit to liking snarky.

It's, also, why I adore Keith Olbermann.

+1 Miss his take on current events.


Missed the first half. Recorded the rest. Will look for a rebroadcast. Only the foolish didn't see it for what it was at the time.

It is a great indictment of the MSM and the Democrats that there was NO effective anti-war voice in the media at the time. Most saw that position as a looser, and were not willing to be on the 'wrong' side of it, either public-approval wise, or circulation/ratings wise.

And we know what happened to them.

No bombshell revelations as far as I can see. Bush and crew are still a bunch of lying neo con war criminals who got off scott free.
