Olbermann: Bush just playing us with 'troop withdrawal'

Two days ago, I wrote with great cynicism about George W. Bush's Labor Day trip to Iraq and the lame promises he made there about bringing some troops home soon.

Not surprisingly, it seems I'm not the only one questioning Bush's integrity on this issue. Last night on his MSNBC show Countdown, Keith Olbermann delivered a bistering "special comment" on the same topic. Olbermann has apparently read Robert Draper's new book Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush. (My copy is on its way from Amazon.com.) And apparently the book reveals some things that Bush said to the author that completely contradict what he has said to the troops and to we the people. Yep, more lies from George W. Bush.

>> Watch Olbermann's special comment, or read the transcripts.

As Olbermann points out, we're stuck with Bush for another 500 days. Think of all the damage he has done in the past 500 days. And then think about how much damage he can do in the next 500.

And perhaps the worst part is that Bush obviously does not give a damn.
