I am getting a little tired of everyone citing "Facts on the Ground"
without ever citing any "Facts on the Ground".

PLEASE START TELLING US YOUR FUCKING FACTS ON THE GROUND OR SHUT THE HELL UP.

1. How do they know the "facts on the ground" if they haven't been on the ground?
Has Scarborough been to Iraq? If not, how can he talk about the facts on the ground?

2. I always think when people use that phrase, they are trying to
