1. Thanks for posting this. I was watching Phil and he had good ratings, but didn't cheer the war.

He was gone faster than KO or any of them. The intimidation from the owners of all on air pundits was/is frightening, especially on matters of life and death. Since 2012, they've gone to outright, easy to disprove lies, yet they keep on. They won't let anyone oppose these oligarches. It's insane.

2. Another genuine hero of the Iraq War. Far too few in the corporate media.

3. All the networks were beating the war drums back then

now that they have made billions off the war they are on the anti-war side, for now.

5. Of MSNBC had any guts, they'd have him on Lawrence & Rachels's shows tomorrow

to deliver a big fat "I told you so" to the network.

7. I sometimes wonder if any news outlets

are reporting truth, or even trying to. The money people control them, and they have their own agendas.

I have said for years, why has MSNBC Not asked him back? Does Chris Matthews really need to be broadcast twice in the same night? Couldn't Phil have a show on from 7-8? Maybe Phil is enjoying retirement but damn, I really wish he were back on MSNBC.
