Fighting the War on Error

KO's history on our "progress" in Iraq

This is from Countdown on Monday - it took me a while to find the video.

This is one of the better pieces I've heard from Keith Olbermann this year, if not the best. KO takes us on a walk down memory lane. It's a history of the Bush & Co. boilerplate about the progress of the war, and reasons for being there.


The best line in this clip: "Progress: Never enough to justify leaving, always enough to justify staying."

Truer words were never spoken by anyone in broadcasting.

The Bush administration wants perpetual war, and it won't accept Congress saying it can't have it.

Kudos to C&L for the video
