On "Hardball" he doesn't know the name of the Iraq veteran whose story he's using to back the war.

    Good to "See" you again.

    Yeah. The "bar stool commandos." There aren't as many of them as there used to be, but like you said, their stories are always so outrageously stupid. They don't realize when they are getting all wound up in their fiction that they don't know how military organization works. They are just clueless. But they blunder right ahead, hoping and I suppose, praying, that there is no one in the room or on line who knows their story just reeks as a pack of lies.

    I guess it never occurred to "Rambo" (who can't even speak English, let alone Mesopotamian Arabic) that at the time of the invasion every freaking intelligence satellite and both of the civilian remote sensing imagery satellites were tasked with watching every road and goat track into and out of Iraq. Some of these spook satellites are in geosynchronous orbit over Iraq 24/7. Our spooks were watching every exit for just such an occasion as movement of WMDs.

    But yet, Rambo is undeterred. He's got a belly full of cheap booze and an inferiority complex that Sigmund Freud couldn't untangle. So he hates Joan Walsh and her "ilk."

    Like Bugs Bunny used to say, "What a maroon!"
