Tonight on Countdown

Was the Democratic Congress elected to get us out of Iraq?
How are they doing on that score?
Keith's Special Comment.

Countdown w/ Keith Olbermann broadcasts LIVE at 8 pm et, and the count is never complete without you. Join us.

Top U.S. commanders and diplomats in Iraq are completing a far-reaching campaign plan for a new U.S. strategy, laying out military and political goals and endorsing the selective removal of hardened sectarian actors from Iraq's security forces and government. The classified plan, scheduled to be finished by May 31, is a joint effort between Gen. David H. Petraeus, the senior American general in Iraq, and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker. More than half a dozen people with knowledge of the plan discussed its contents, although most asked for anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about it to reporters. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/22/AR2007052201600_pf.html

In Baghdad, fighting their 'Alamo'. U.S. troops in the Iraq security push face daunting foes: snipers and bombs. A captain fears it may be 'their surge, not ours.' http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-surge23may23,1,1160458.story

Iraqi police found the body of a man they said was wearing what appeared to be a U.S. military uniform in the Euphrates River south of Baghdad on Wednesday. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18814416/

President Bush, stressing that Americans face an ongoing threat from terrorists, shared intelligence on Wednesday asserting that Osama bin Laden was working in 2005 to set up a unit inside Iraq to hit U.S. targets. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18809646/

The Justice Department's former White House liaison denied Wednesday that she played a major role in the firings of U.S. attorneys last year and blamed Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty for misleading Congress about the dismissals. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18816284/

That's some of what we're planning tonight.

1. So since Fox and Republicans have whined about Keith's partisanship

What are they going to say about this? Keith's clearly going to go after Democrats tonight (and rightly so). When's the last time Fox ever went after a Republican they agreed with (obviously Ron Paul is too libertarian to count for them)?

[gaspee]

3. I'm watching last night's show

right now and it seems like he was a little perturbed. Good. I am too. I tape his show every night.

[marlakay]

2. Keith is my hero

the only journalist that speaks out on national news the truth.

[WI_DEM]

4. He will chastize them, but also point out that the Dem congress has done much more than

the GOP congress ever did to address Iraq with regards to hearings, resolutions, and attempts at time tables, ect.

[mmonk]

5. Hope he gives them hell. Maybe they can be shamed into being

an effective opposition. Will be watching.

[Patsy Stone]

6. I hope he kicks some ass, too.

Maybe he'll point them in the correct direction. :eyes:

[DeepModem Mom]

7. Oh, boy -- Keith was already pretty worked up last night. Let it fly, KO! nt

[truebrit71]

8. I hope he rips them new assholes....

...fucking cowards that they are... :grr:

[Individualist]

14. KO is aware that "hold them accountable" isn't just for republicans

All politicians need to be held accountable when they fail to do what is best for the country.

[myrna minx]

9. I can't wait for this. The Dems should be ashamed of themselves.

[n2doc]

10. That is what being a real Journalist is about

Not one sided cheer leading. I'll bet Colbert and Stewart will have a few things to say about this subject, too. "Fake news", indeed...

(edit for spelling)

11. Kickin' for Keith in the evenin'. n/t
