Olbermann Speaks Out

"Only this president, only in this time, only with this dangerous, even messianic certitude, could answer a country demanding an exit strategy from Iraq by offering an entrance strategy for Iran. Only this president could look out over a vista of 3,008 dead and 22,834-wounded in Iraq, and finally say, 'Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility rests with me'—only to follow that by proposing to repeat the identical mistake ... in Iran.... This is diplomacy by skimming; it is internationalism by drawing pictures of Superman in the margins of the textbooks; it is a presidency of Cliffs Notes."

-Keith Olbermann, MSNBC Countdown, January 11,2007
