Dover coffins / American deaths question dodged.

[arcadian]

Good question, it was a call out of the Bush administration.

1. Not dodged

Under analysis to make sure he hasn't missed any implications, which is fair.

[MadMaddie]

10. I agree!

And again he hasn't been office but two weeks. They have so much to review and analyze before changing policy. I have no doubt the policy will be changed.

[Dennis Donovan]

2. He said they were reviewing the policy...

:shrug:

[arcadian]

5. Saying it's under review by the DoD

means it won't be lifted.

[sandnsea]

13. I've corrected you three times

He did not say it was under review by the DoD. He said he would receive an analysis from the DoD and then make a decision. Big Difference.

I have an idea. Why don't you overthrow Republicans for a change!

[treestar]

3. It's looks like another of those things they want to think about

before doing anything.

[951-Riverside]

4. He said something like "We'll have to get back with you on that"

:thumbsdown: It was the only question I felt he dodged.

[Cha]

12. He didn't dodge it at all..

he didn't dodge any..he answered the best he could with the information he has at this time.

[Cleita]

6. I thought it should be a yes or no answer, however, I accept that he promised to

get back to us when he had an answer. I guess there must be some blockage at the Pentagon about this. No one wants any reminders, especially not the guilty parties, of how illegitimate these wars are especially the Iraq one.

7. I would bet it has something to do with national security

I mean, for real, not in a Bush sense. If we could see it without the rest of world doing so, he'd probably have ditched the policy by now.
Honestly, I was surprised to hear it was "policy", I thought it was just Bush being a Dick.

14. Fact: Bodies on TV = low approval of the war.

They want their war so no bodies on TV. That simple.

[Clio the Leo]

8. He is trying to respect the families' wishes.....

.... I think that's pretty clear. I understand the need for the media to be able to report on the matter, but ultimatly, inside each of those coffins is someone's baby.

[Hellataz]

9. I think it's smart that he doesn't commit to any policy before getting all the facts.

On the outside, we may see it differently then he does with facts from all sides.

[Cha]

11. It wasn't DODGED..he gave

the only answer he could under the circumstances. Get it right.
