Then the F&Fs invited viewers to identify the NBC person who made the following comment.
"The President is to have taken money out of the pockets of every American, even out of the pockets of dead soldiers."
This is an incomplete and out of context comment made by Keith Olbermann. Here is what he actually said.
"Your second accomplishment, sir, is to have taken money out of the pockets of every American, even out of the pockets of the dead soldiers on the battlefield and their families, and to have given that money to the war profiteers. Because if you sell the Army a thousand Humvees, you can't sell them any more until the first thousand have been destroyed, can you? The service men and women are ancillary to the equation. This is about the planned obsolescence of ordnance, isn't it, Mr. Bush? And the building of detention centers? And the design of a $125 million courtroom complex at Gitmo, complete with restaurants. At least the war profiteers have made their money, sir."
