On Wednesday's Countdown show, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann reported the recent deaths of 10 American troops in Iraq by commenting that they had "paid the ultimate price for President Bush's execution of the war." His comments came as he was introducing an interview with Thomas Ricks of the Washington Post on what the Iraq Study Group report could mean for American troops. Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of the December 6 Countdown show:
Keith Olbermann: "On this, the same day the Iraq Study Group released its report, 10 more Americans paid the ultimate price for President Bush's execution of the war. The collective price America's military is paying and how the Iraq Study Group may change it is our number three story in the Countdown tonight."

Why doesn't this person go
December 6, 2006 - 22:58 ET by james789Why doesn't this person go to Iraq himself and get to the bottom of this mess since it seems so near and dear to his heart?
The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price,
peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of
soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life. Theodore Roosevelt
It wouldn't be safe for Keith to go to Iraq
December 7, 2006 - 00:07 ET by terrigJames, Keith knows he has many enemies over in Iraq and I'm not talking terrorist types either. My husband has said multiple times that anytime he's off his fob and into places where there is a tv on & NBC news is on people are throwing bread at the tv remincisent (sp?) of the old Howard Cosell days.

December 6, 2006 - 23:19 ET by mlongKO and other liberals who express concern for the troops are such phoneys...we know how the left really feels about anyone who wears the uniform both John Kerry and Charles Rangle have let the truth slip out in recent remarks about how the left views them....with contempt!!

December 7, 2006 - 01:21 ET by mattmThat's exactly what I was thinking. You must be a genius. :)
That panel's conclusion boils down to this: Things are tough in Iraq. Whoever said it would be easy? Nobody.
All this panel does is provide a springboard for demagogues like Olbermental to spue their politically motivated lies. They don't give a crap for the troops, their families (unless they rip on Bush) or the country they serve.
Execute this war? If Olberman
December 7, 2006 - 10:28 ET by Chris NormanExecute this war? If Olbermann and his ilk had their way, nothing would have been executed. Just exactly how is a war supposed to be executed so no one gets hurt or killed?

Commission
December 7, 2006 - 10:46 ET by iveseenitallThese latest "Commission" recommendations are a blueprint for the surrender which is coming. That's what really makes Olbermann and his ilk jump for joy. Sad.

We heard that intro by Uberma
December 7, 2006 - 13:11 ET by bigtimerWe heard that intro by Ubermann last night, my husband said it is going to be a miracle if someone doesn't shoot the treasonous bast*rd....I agree.... these obnoxious intentional enemies in our country that blather and spew on a nightly basis during a time of war, all with one agenda in mind, our defeat...should be tried and hung.
I have had it. I have never seen anything like it...something should be done about it....these people are our enemy, it is obvious.....my heart goes out to the military and their families, I do not know how they keep their cool.
We turned it back to BOR, we just see what he is doing during commercials...that is all I could take anyway, as we were both screamin' at the screen and the filthy ba*tard.
