Quoted: "It may well turn out to be the largest war profiteering in history."

I don't think so.

Quoted: Picture of Health Some U.S. presidents have gone to great lengths to hide their physical and mental illnesses. Is that kind of deception necessary—or even possible today?

wha! Olbermann's new special comment.
I heard about Bushing giving up golf, but I didnt know that he gave up running at the same time b/c of a calf injury, but then starting playing for several months after he said he was giving it up for the war. dear god, how embarrassing.

Quoted: One of several perverse elements of the U.S. presence in Iraq is that the presence itself is, at least in part, a cause of violent conflict in Iraq. The big achievement of the past 18 months, after all, has been to convince many Sunni insurgents to stop allying with Al-Qaeda in Iraq. But the alliance with AQI only commenced in the first place because Sunni Arab groups wanted to take up arms against the American occupation and were seeking allies in that cause. Now our guns are aimed at the Sadrists because they want us to leave. And naturally, we can't leave until we've achieved "victory" defined as killing everyone who wants us to leave.

this is truly revolting

very cool

You know those military analysts the networks trot out to tell you that we're making progress in the war on terror? Turns out that a number of them are briefed by the Pentagon and have financial interests tied to the war (investments in defense companies). Shocker.

Quoted: Hidden behind that appearance of objectivity, though, is a Pentagon information apparatus that has used those analysts in a campaign to generate favorable news coverage of the administration’s wartime performance, an examination by The New York Times has found.
