CNN: Tune in as Wolfie Pimps the War in Iraq. |
|
he has a 'general' (Rick Lynch) who says you can't put a time frame on his war.
the generals who think for themselves have all been fired.

1. The 'general' is now weighing in on Lugar and friends |
|
'it takes time' 'we are having an effect'
'Iranians are causing problems in HIS battlefield'
'we can trace weapons back to Iran'
THIS IS THE REAL SPIN....

4. "We can trace the weapons back to Iran..." |
|
All you need to know about future US military plans is in that one statement.
General Lynch is a fucking lunatic - fits in well with the neocons.:grr:

5. I'm saving electricity |

Watched two minutes of breathless sucking up and decided to turn it off. Maybe if we all turn off corporate news sooner, it will have some impact on the planet... one way or another :-)

6. Wolf just asked Leahy if he was going to be patient with the surge. |
|
Stupid-ass question. Leahy said NO IT IS TIME TO GET OUT.

7. You mean the 'surge' needs to be extended? What a sruprise! |
|
No trouble at all seeing that one coming. It was, 'Support the escallation, I mean surge, and let's see what happens by this summer. If it doesn't work we will pull out.' Now with people being blown up by the dozens and with headless bodies stacked like cordwood in the streets of Baghdad, General Buttkisser is making the rounds to promote yet another 'wait and see'.
See, it's just like South Korea. Let's defer judgment for another 5 decades. Just kidding before about that brief involvement. 911 changed everything. Support the troops. Mission accomplished.

9. That was WRETCHED.You know things are bad when I can |
|
tell more about what is going on on the ground than the Generals can.

10. CNN has been PROMOTING this war ALL WEEK |
|
absolutely shameless. I guess war makes money for a 'news' agency. Therefore it is in their best interests to promote it.

11. But oddly, they don't really report on it... |
|
I mean, I can just as easily go to the Hertitage Foundation site for the "latest" news as turn on CNN.
:mad: at CNN.

12. No, mix it up by going to the American Enterprise Institute too. |

You wouldn't want to be seen as having compromised your objectivity.
