Olbermann: The point of the war in Iraq is to make sure there is war

Keith Olbermann hits at the heart of the flawed reasoning for staying in Iraq.

“And there it is, in all its beautiful, elliptical, symmetrical, asinine Bushian glory,” Olbermann concluded.

“If fewer Americans die in Iraq, that’s because the surge is working. If more Americans die in Iraq, that’s also because the surge is working. And if the surge is working, the troops have to stay longer to solidify its gains. And if the surge isn’t working, the troops have to stay longer to make sure it starts working.”

“And the point of the war in Iraq is to make sure there is a war in Iraq.”

And the reason that there was never an exit strategy is becuase they never want to leave. We have 26 bases being built throughout Iraq. It's what the US does so well. Did that ever come up in a debate?
