1. Using the term "coalition" in regards to Iraq

is like referring to masturbation as sexual intercourse.

[qb]

2. Must be orders from Rove

"US troops dead" is bad PR. "Coalition" gives the impression its the British, Poles, Bulgarians, whatever.

This is so dishonest. In any kind of international incident, US deaths have always been mentioned specifically.

3. Yup - it's slanted. "Coalition" sounds like U.S. is not alone...

in fact, most of the world does not support us...also conjurs up thoughts of World War II. Bunch of BS

[papou]

5. There is one dead Dane - so we have Brit and US ..... and a Dane

sounds like coalition!

:-)

7. Thank you for providing more details than CNN

15. Hi papou!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[BlueEyedSon]

4. Anyone know, by percent, how American is the Iraq occupation?

(American troop count divided by total troop count). I bet it's upwards of 98%. Should we all email CNN, citing this number?????

[NNN0LHI]

8. I have heard the 95% figure for American soldiers in Iraq mentioned n/t

[Oggy]

10. But

Isn't 40% of the US force made up of foriegn personnel trying to get a green card? Maybe that's what they mean?

[Patriot_Spear]

13. That's true...

There was a news article earlier this week about a White House plan to start recruiting troops in Mexico and Central America.

9. If you're going to call them on it...

Take the right-wing tactic--"What, they aren't AMERICANS? You got something against calling them AMERICAN troops?"

No point knowing the bias of the media if you can't use it.

6. Corporate Media

For all the talk about diversity, I am hard pressed to find either objective or liberal media on cable TV.

11. Next week on CNN: "Two coalition troops have passed to a better world."

Hallelujah!

[madrchsod]

14. why don`t they just tell the truth?

what is so hard about that? do they think the american people are that dumb? what do they think will happen if they tell the truth? anthrax?

[blm]

16. Do you need more proof they are the Bush propaganda network?

Hell, even FOX was complaining that CNN was used more by the White House than they were.

[Starpass]

17. ahh, I think they are referring to the itty bitty mistake we made today

(or yesterday--don't remember which). It seems we shot the hell out of that spiffy new militia we trained and put on the streets. You know, the rehabilitated Iraqi goons, we re-armed and taught how to kill more effectively?? Anyway our guys thought "hey, yo, that's them Rep.Guard assholes, isn't it" and shot them all dead. Somewhere in there at least one American got it too and there may have been a few others hanging around that got taken out with this circular firing squad. We have moved on. Now we are in the MASSSIVE FUCK UP stage. All well planned,you know, by Imperial George............of geez.......

[onehandle]

18. I noticed that too...

This has the Pentagon's fingerprints all over it.
