David Gregory schooled on Iraq as he pushes drumbeat to war

It seems like déjà vu on Iraq. David Gregory is doing his part. There is one difference. Previously it was about helping a president who wanted to go to war lie to the American public. Today it is about blaming a president because he does not want to go to war. The narrative, though, is the same: those people over there will be coming over here.

Many of the guests on Meet the Press with David Gregory got to make a few points to temper his usual misstatements and mischaracterizations.

• Gregory attempted to make ISIS a failure of President Obama not staying in Iraq against the will of Americans and the Iraqi government. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) refuted that.
• Gregory had to be reminded that American weapons from America's various incursions have always ended up in the hands of our enemies (Afghanistan, Vietnam, etc.).
• David Gregory attempted to get Senator Durbin to commit to escalating engagement in Iraq if limited bombing action fails. The senator did not bite.
• Gregory had to be reminded that prior to Bush’s invasion of Iraq, there was no Al-Qaeda in Iraq or many other groups like ISIS.

well it seems pretty much that since NBC changed ownership they have been slowly pivoting to the right wing fantasies.  we used to be able to feel more comfortably safe that we are hearing the real news not Fox rewrites but there are some on the MSNBC side who seem to be Fox and friends illegitimate cousins and seem to be misleading us by promoting the lies that are rampant and permeate the entire wing and base. 

some of us only listen to those who are taking that path I think by their corporate leaders agenda this kind of action only serves to help validate the lies heard on that other venue or are they now the same venue?  be careful who you listen to if it starts to sound crazy do yourself a favor turn it off or use it as what to fight against.
