Jay Carney Fact Checks Ari Fleischer on Iraq Withdrawal

In which former White House Press Secretary and current CNN contributor Jay Carney fact checks former White House Press Secretary and former CNN contributor Ari Fleischer, for a statement said on CNN:

Fleischer is a prolific tweeter, a practice that occasionally yields dividends but more often winds up with Fleischer slipping on a banana peel. Carney has been a sparse tweeter in his few months outside of the press room, but that may change as he enters the more tit-for-tat life of the cable news pundit. Either way, CNN is clearly a gravitational force that sets former press secretaries into their punditry orbit.
