Notice McLellan was trying to BAIT reporters into saying the soldiers were
not speaking "their own thoughts". I'm assuming the game was, if the reporter made such an assertion, then presto! shrubco produces Capt/LT X who says "It was my own thoughts!"

Who could prove otherwise! Checkmate!

But of course the whole thing was so shabby there was no way shrubco could get a win out of it, and besides, reporters did not bite on the Scotty "bait".

5. Roger that Wakeme
Sure, an O-3 is going to tell it like it is on national TV while talking to the Commander in Chief resulting in a legendary fitness report. Unlike bush, the Captain did get promoted that far.

2. The Bush WH has been USING soldiers as cover ....
Edited on Thu Oct-13-05 08:11 PM by Trajan
They act as if WE hate the soldiers because we hate the POLICIES of the administration ....

We LOVE the soldiers, and SUPPORT THEM whole heartedly ...

The SOLDIERS arent the problem:

The White House is the problem ...

The Congress is the problem ...

Fucking chicken shits .....

7. Yeah. How dare you suggest that our soldiers weren't being sincere
with their answers. I just watched bush's little play on CSPAN. Sounds to me like they were reading off of cue cards.

8. Scotty needed someone to beam HIM up!

Today he was wack.

No, these were not the questions of soldiers, or the answers.

You want those, let reporters go out into the field, like they used, not as embedded journalists, but as real journalists, answering to the God of good media, TRUTH.
