1. Absolutely crushing.
For all those families that have lost their children, their husbands, their wives, their fathers, their mothers, their friends... they can say 'no, a timetable for withdrawal is 'not important''.

Pelosi should feel a sting for that too.

4. This was a must see for everyone, I think
That Olberman took the time to put things into context---how can McCain counter that?

5. One of the most powerful SC's ever
Olbermann perfectly pointed out just exactly how little McCain actually cares about the troops.
