“The semi-fictitious Path to 9/11, which has set off this debate, has people questioning the dominant lefty Narrative about 9/11 for the first time.”

Please explain this “dominant lefty Narrative” about 9/11 you mention. It seems to me that the right has always held all the cards pertaining to 9/11 and the GWOT which resulted from it.

How ironic that you would show the strain that the military is under as some sort of anti-Bush sentiment, and how telling of your level of understanding of the situation. The problems that the military is having in terms of personnel and equipment are a direct result of Clinton’s evisceration in the name of his fabled “peace dividend”, which never materialized. Do you remember this piece of history that occurred during your lifetime, namely how Clinton slashed our military’s ground strength by about 60%? I recall it quite well. I have a National Guardsman nephew in the Middle East right now, helping to pay for Clinton’s foolhardy shortsightedness.

You are clueless, Dick.

Dear Mr. Bottoms,
My nephew just returned from a tour in Iraq and is currently back in Twenty Nine Palms, CA, where he & the rest of his Marine unit trained prior to their deployment. Perhaps that is also George W. Bush’s fault, as well as Olbermann’s rating. Whatever makes you sleep better.

Nonetheless, a little knowledge is a good thing, and you have been duly informed so that you hopefully won’t publicly err in much the same manner in the future (already assuming that the attempt to change the subject notwithstanding, as that’s a staple for the minority party….for a reason).

As for Olbermann, he is an unhinged personage and exhibits the tell-tale sign of insecurity - the inability to establish his own persona. At once he tries to channel Edward R. Murrow, his snarky, sarcastic ESPN anchorman image, host of “Talk Soup” and constitutional law co-expert with the fatuous Jonathan Turley (by the way, is Turley the only constitutional lawyer in the United States? One would think so by watching Olbermann’s program).

And as for watching Olbermann’s program, one does so every now and then to see what is being said. The same cannot be said for most everyone who criticizes Fox News Channel. Chris Wallace is no friend of President Bush, and the same can be said for Juan Williams, Alan Colmes, Bob Beckel, and the scores of other leftist journos and politicos that appear on FNC with regularity. It would help those of you so quick to criticize FNC to actually, you know, watch the network before commenting.

I don’t have to listen to this kind of intelectual tripe from any kind of media outlet whether it be owned by Bill Gates, Ahmadinejad or Sun Myung Moon.

MSNBC is no longer welcome in my home.

Umm you seem to be missing the point.

If your son was one of those troops being trained in the forest instead of in the Mojave where they get to experience realistic conditions he would be more likely to be killed in Iraq.

The reason they are training in the forest is because George Bush is mismanaging the military, shortening the time between deployments, hampering realistic training and wait for it… getting more troops killed.

Is there some part of the fact that the military is not adequetly served by its civilian leaders that is not sinking in?

If our troops don’thave tanks or bullets to train with they die in battle.

BTW, best of luck to your son.

Seems like he’ll need it.

At what point do the viewers (plural, I double checked) figure out that instead of dodging ‘the man’ Olby IS ‘the man’, feeding dim lefties sweets and pudding so they stay on the plantation in the wake of election loss after election loss?
