3. What's with the ego comment?

Reporting on illegal expansion of wars is NOT an ego-driven thing, nor is it something that would indicate a god-complex in Rachel Maddow or her reporting. It IS however a story that is woefully under-reported to the American public who still wander around in a post-9/11 stupor wondering "why do they hate us?"

Well, what's happening in Pakistan right now is a pretty damn good reason for some 160M people to start having a pretty justifiable hatred for America and this is only the most recent example.

4. What ego comment? What are you talking about?

Do you mean "egad?" Because that is an exclamation like fuck, shit, or damn.

9. A sidebar appears on the clip essentially saying Rachel "shouldn't go there". nt

[JHB]

13. It starts at about the 5:15 mark, right side of screen n/t

[teknomanzer]

16. I did not notice that...

[gateley]

7. It's called reporting news. The YouTuber who posted it is obviously unfamiliar with the

concept, as are the majority of Americans.

This was a jaw dropper to me - would we have even heard of this had it not been for Rachel?

[Marnie]

5. Candidate Obama said he would

so he is actually keeping one of his promises.
Keep two on going wars and start a third. That's what he campaigned on.

While contemplating the stupidity of this also consider that the military uses 50% of the gas, diesel, etc of the total consumption of the USA. Then consider what it would mean to the price of oil and to our economy if military consumption were cut by 50% or more.

6. Hey Prof.Plum....

Knock it off with the sidebar comments. Those are really bad. It's like your trying make it seem as if its part of the video or something. If you don't like waht she's saying.....DON'T POST IT.

At least she is telling us the truth...The next war is starting now!!! The troops from Iraq can just go to Pakistan now. This is total bullshit. We need to get President Obama's attention fast and get this stopped now.

Rachel is the only reporter/anchor that is telling what's going on. Let her tell it.
:thumbsup: for Rachel Maddow

:thumbsdown: for Professor Plum

8. I don't think that was Professor Plum's sidebar, blackbart -- that doesn't sound

like him at all. If I'm mistaken I stand corrected, if I'm correct, you owe the Professor an apology.

[stlsaxman]

12. correct- sidebar is from "StartLoving3"... original poster to YouTube.

i was about to put this on Facebook when that popped up. Now i'll have to find another posting.

[ProfessorPlum]

15. Thanks Gateley

you are right, the comments aren't mine.

[ProfessorPlum]

14. Hi Blackbart

If there are comments added, they aren't mine. I get most of my Rachel videos from startloving's youtube feed, but I may have to start paying more attention if he is adding his own comments.

I mostly listened to the audio of this clip while I was working, didn't see the video. Sorry if the comments offended.

10. And to think so many people actually believed

Obama would change American foreign policy.

He's just a smooth-talkin' charming Bush with an appealingly beautiful family.

My brother was thrilled when he won but I said, "Naw, the real powers behind the throne realized George Bush made the world hate the U.S. and put Mr. Charm in hoping we wouldn't notice that it was business as usual."

Well we ain't stoopid.

I hope.

It didn't take my brother long to catch on.

As for domestic policy. Hmmm. What about that single-payer health care? The insurance companies must be happy with him

[gateley]

11. I still think Obama will go a long way in changing foreign policy. I don't think

he's willing to let this escalate or go on endlessly. The Bushco "foreign policy" was Fuck All Of You, We're America and Do Whatever The Hell We Want. Deal With It.

17. K&R. Very well said. //nt

[pettypace]

18. Maddow has become the king of foreign policy reporting

If only others had the integrity and guts to report as she does.

Let's place bets on who we attack first: Iran or Pakistan?
