Special Commentary: NIE and Bush

Keith Olbermann did another Countdown Special Comment yesterday, this time about the NIE report and how it contradicts the doomsday statements from Bush about Iraq. For the last few months Bush has been building up to creating a third front on his so-called War on Terror (really War For Haliburton) by invading Iran. He was been following the Iraq playbook from 2002 point for point, all of them various tactics involving fear by using such terms as "World War III" and "nuclear weapons." The tactics are predictable, they are dangerous, and as Olbermann notes, they show either an incompetent President or a "unhinged, irrational chicken little of a President." I vote for both. A full transcript can be found here. Video is below.
