Will Olbermann Expose Bush's Big Lies?

MSNBC's Ketih Olbermann is getting dangerously close to exposing Bush's Biggest Lie - that he did not want war in Iraq.

On Monday, Olbermann exposed one of Bush's Biggest Lies, which he uttered in Cleveland (courtesy of Crooks & Liars)

"First-just if I might correct a misperception, I don't think we ever said, at least I know I didn't say that there was a direct connection between September 11th and Saddam Hussein."

Olbermann recalled Bush's 2003 State of the Union, when Bush declared: "Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including members of al-Qaeda."

"Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda in the same sentence separated by seven words. Sept. 11th and Saddam Hussein -two sentences later, separated by six words. In a moment Craig Crawford joins me to discuss the fundamental remaining question. Who does the President think he's F'n kidding?

That was yesterday. Where will Olbermann go today? I just received his promotional email who subject is Bush's Biggest Lie: "Bush: 'I didn't want war.'" Olbermann's email begins:

President Bush said Tuesday there will be "more tough fighting ahead" in Iraq, but added that "we're making progress" and denied claims that Iraq is in the grips of a civil war three years after the U.S.-led invasion. He also rejected accusations that he was determined to wage war in Iraq from early in his presidency.

1. knr

[YOY]

2. and when he does will the sheeple actually notice

As much as I love Keith, all he says will go for nothing if the public doens't prick up its ears.

[Stanchetalarooni]

5. Sheeple never notice. That is the irony of it all.

Sheeple are nearsighted, so to speak.
They only hear in the frequency range of Bo Peeps.

[havocmom]

7. Let's see, KO's ratings going up. O'Liely's going down...

The public is pricking up its ears! :thumpsup:

[C_U_L8R]

3. Show the PNAC signatory list !

that's a fairly strong piece of evidence that the Bush cabal
intended to invade (and planned it even before taking office)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. I suggest him opening with a few lines from Rebuilding America's Defenses,

including the ones about removing Saddam, go on to the paragraph about a New Pearl Harbor, and then show the signature list.

Fade out and fade into a segnments with ex-Secy of the Treasury Paul O'Neill and that first cabinet meeting, then onto Richard Clark and how * was trying to bully him into connecting Saddam & 9/11.

Then the kicker would be the Downing Street transcripts (memos).......

For good measure you can throw in the lies about Iraq not allowing inspectors to do their jobs, the office of special plans, Chalabi's "excellent" source about WMDs...Curveball, etc, etc, etc, etc........

A woman can dream, can't she????

[Memory Container]

13. So have you sent the suggestion?

It can't hurt, and it's one step toward making the dream a reality.
We know about the PNAC. When I told my mom about it she said it was "just a conspiracy theory", I said, "no... it's a conspiracy fact in black and white and signed the perpetrators." -Mom's a sheep.

If the MSM reports it, it'll take.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

19. I have sent similar suggestions to Olbermann. Not in one big clump

as this, and I have actually caught his attention. I will pass this on to him.

[Memory Container]

20. *Fingers crossed* n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

23. lol! Mailed out the email and also included links! Who knows??? eom

[FatDave]

21. The only thing I would add to that...

Show the Rebuilding America's Defenses document (Keith reading in voice-over), pan down to the signatures (highlight Cheney, Rummy, Libby & Wolfy). Keith: "Seems like pretty standard fare from the Bush admin...but this is from a letter to President Bill Clinton sent in 1998!"

[FatDave]

17. Isn't it amazing that's never come out?

Why is that? Why has nobody pointed out the black and white evidence that most of the Bush cabinet had an agenda to invade Iraq dating back to the late 90's? As far as I know, no journalists and no democratic politicians have ever brought that up (though I guess it's possible they did and it was just ignored), despite people like us knowing about it even before the invasion.

Help me Keith Olbermann, you're my only hope.

[acmejack]

4. Knr

Ya think he will? This is the only thing I watch on network tv other than the local weather.

[sarcasmo]

6. K & R #6 for KO the only real news person left in the MSM. The only

one to have the guts to stand up for what is right. Take it to the Dictator KO.

[SaveAmerica]

8. I'm going to go out on a limb and say 'yes, he will'

;-)

[rurallib]

9. I loved the way Keith exposed it

After playing the "I didn't link Hussein to 9/11" by B***, Keith had a look of major shock on his face and said "Are you effing kidding me". Which is exactly the reaction anyone with a brain should have had.

[mirandapriestly]

10. Olbermann seems to go far enough to make people think that he is a

"real" journalist, but not far enough to actually expose anything. I don't think his bosses would let him do that.

[TacticalPeek]

12. If so, I hope he reminds people of former Treasury Secretary O'Neill.

A top official sacked from the US Government has accused President Bush of planning for an invasion of Iraq within days of coming to office.

Former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill said Mr Bush was looking for an excuse to oust Saddam Hussein.

As a member of the president's National Security team he said he never saw any evidence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.

Mr O'Neill also portrayed the president as unwilling to engage in debate - a charge rejected by Bush officials.

"From the very beginning, there was a conviction Saddam Hussein was a bad person and he needed to go," the former treasury secretary said in an interview broadcast by CBS News on Sunday.

:patriot:

[cantstandbush]

14. I am so afraid for KO. O'Lielly will stop at nothing. Hope KO

does not become another fired truth-teller.

[Pacifist Patriot]

15. Oh geez, I hope so.

[CanOfWhoopAss]

16. Not directly

probably just allude to it. NBC and GE will pull his leash.

[Patsy Stone]

18. I'll say yes

K&R for KO!

[madokie]

22. Could I get a link to where I can register to start receiving Keiths

emails I'm a recently new KO watcher

[Kadie]

24. I think this is the link...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/

scroll down, and on the right side is a little box where you can subscribe to his newsletter.

[madokie]

26. Thank you

[williesgirl]

27. Thanks so much. Just signed up. n/t

[Lostnote06]

25. A Pic of the FBI agent......

...tesifying to the repeated denials for legal assistance from DC/FBI would connect the now/then dots

[Berry Cool]

28. Keith has already said, no one pulls his leash.

Honestly, he's not about to get fired for saying what he wants to. If there's an audience for what he has to say, he can say whatever he wants. He said as much on C-SPAN.

That being said, help us, Olby-Wan Keithobi!
