Plenty of people saw what was going to happen by going to war with Iraq, and spoke about it a great deal before the invasion started. But, you'd be very hard pressed to find those people on the major networks in the lead up to the invasion. Olbermann may or may not have been one of those people I wasn't paying attention to what he was saying, but I read plenty of articles before the invasion saying that Iraq was a mess, they had no weapons programs, they had no links to Al'Qaida (except in the Kurdish north), etc.

When societies are changing quickly, the media and the people are naturally focused on big "P" politics - who gets the top appointments, what was said in the most recent speech. Meanwhile, safe from public scrutiny, far reaching pro-corporate policies are locked into place, dramatically restricting future possibilities for real change. - Naomi Klein
