Three groups that shouldn't be trusted. We need to 'stay the course' and do what the German's did after the Reichstag Fire; suspend the legislative branch and ignore appeals from the international community. That way we can guarentee our security. I just wish Bush could run for a third term. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But FIRST & most importantly, Dubbie is getting a "drive-by-briefing" on how to pronounce "Reality" and make it sound like he isn't looking for someone to sell a house! After that, his staff's calendar is pretty full with defining "Reality" in a manner they can accept. Fox News is consulting on that. Mike.

Hawkins121 0 #8 July 12, 2006 Its a shame there are NO news sources that are balanced on either side. The washington post is especially bad. I lost all respect for the paper when they used a dead soldier's journal as political cannon fodder. "His was a useless death. He had so many dreams. He wanted to be a dentist. What about him, Mr. Bush?" I actually vomitted... No bullshit. Nevermind its an all volunteer force. Nevermind the kid was in a tripple volunteer unit. One where he knew he would see combat in iraq. (airborne infantry) Post the picture and call them heroes but do not use them to further your political objectives. If you see a paper doing this, boycott it.

billvon 3,120 #9 July 12, 2006 >I lost all respect for the paper when they used a dead soldier's >journal as political cannon fodder. Did you lose all respect for the military when they lied about how Pat Tillman was killed to make his death sound better? Or was that OK because that was _good_ political fodder? Every media outlet - from official military spokespeople, to the administration press secretary, to the CNN anchors, to the FOX political commentators - has an opinion on the news. Good news sources color the news they report as little as possible - but no one can remove all traces of opinion from a news source. Heck, if someone reported a US soldier's death completely matter-of-factly, someone would blast them for having no compassion. So you pick which ones you think do a good job. In general, the more the better; their opinions often 'cancel.' It's a technique used in digital signal processing to remove noise from signals. >Post the picture and call them heroes . . . . Thus furthering _your_ political agenda? The only way to make it neutral is to post the pictures with no commentary. Actually, the photographer could be accused of "trying to make a statement." So names only. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkins121 0 #10 July 12, 2006 I'm confused by your response. Pat Tillman volunteered to serve his country. They put a positive spin on that. Is there anything wrong with celebrating a guy for doing so? Nope. Did anyones political objective get a boost because he died? Hell no. Your post makes no sense.

It bothers me when the US military lies to the family of a deceased serviceman to make themselves look better. He (and his family) deserves better. >Did anyones political objective get a boost because he died? The pro-war lobby got a boost by claiming he was a hero who was killed by evil insurgents - rather than by US troops. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
