Another 10 years at least added to this conflict most likely. Another disgraceful American media moment. Any benefit gained by the Fallujah Campaign (which was, militarily speaking, a success) will most likely be nullified by this one video. Iraqi elections in one month? There's going to be a bloodbath. Its like whack-a-mole now.
It just boggles my mind. I cannot conceive of why the American media would broadcast this bullshit worldwide. FOR WHAT PURPOSE!?!? Goddamn fanatical insurgents fighting from mosques getting sympathy from around the world now. Where in the fuck is the disconnect between the US Government, the US Media & the US Military??? Who the fuck is running the show here!?!? Its one step forward-2 steps back madness. My faith is fading fast.....  |
Blame the press, powerclown, blame Michael Moore. It is so much easier to
do so than to do the hard work of sifting out the propaganda and the
manipulation of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell, and others who created
the situation in Iraq, with the support of so many of our countrymen who
chose to stay blissfully misinformed as their "war president", in response to
the 9/11 attacks, launched our "payback" at the wrong people in the wrong
country. What are you willing to fight and die for, anyway? The right to
receive truthful and fact filled news reports from a free press, or filtered
reports from government censors? Is the truth such a minor thing that you
are willing to encourage reporters from U.S. based news media to withhold
or distort reports that, in your opinion, make the U.S. or it's military "look
bad" to the prying eyes of foreigners? If that is what you wish for, you also
are willing to give up the right to monitor the conduct of our political leaders
in order to hold them accountable, and you give up your own access to
accurate, fact filled reporting. To me, that is un-American rhetoric.
You appear to have lost all perspective of why we fight, who we should fight, and what we fight to preserve and protect, just like our criminal president and most of his supporters.........
