Olbermann: "Democratic leadership has agreed to finance the deaths of Americans in a war that has only reduced the security of Americans"

Keith Olbermann had a special comment tonight about the Democrats caving on the Iraq apporpriations bill and giving Bush a blank check.

Here is some of what Olbermann had to say...

• The Democratic leadership has agreed to finance the deaths of Americans in a war that has only reduced the security of Americans;
• The Democratic leadership has given Mr. Bush all that he wanted, with the only caveat being, not merely meaningless symbolism about benchmarks for the Iraqi government, but optional meaningless symbolism about benchmarks for the Iraqi government.
• The Democratic leadership has, in sum, claimed a compromise with the Administration, in which the only things truly compromised, are the trust of the voters, the ethics of the Democrats, and the lives of our brave, and doomed, friends, and family, in Iraq.

And the video of the entire commentary...



This issue isn't about money and funding. It is about our troops being put into harms way and more troops dying. 70% of Americans support a deadline to withdrawal our troops. They definitely don't want Bush to get another blank check in Iraq. When will our Democratic leaders start listening?
