The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is expected to advise President Bush to reduce the U.S. force in Iraq next year by almost half.Today we heard this:
Pace on Friday said, "The story is wrong, it is speculative. I have not made or decided on any recommendations yet."Figures.
Funny, the correction didn't make any headlines.
The media doesn't give a flying f*ck what the truth is in Iraq anymore.They are fixated on two things only.American defeat and troop withdrawal.Facts be damned.
ReplyDeleteIt's reminds me of Dan Rather and the National Guard story.
The guy was completely busted in front of the world.Every aspect of the story was proven to be a lie and a hoax.
The MSM couldn't bring themselves to admit the incredible fraud that Dan Rather tried to perpetrate.
Months later even he said that the story was still true.
My point is that the media think that they can still "suggest" the truth or define it in their terms still.
In this particular story about General Patreus he clearly denies making the statement about troop withdrawal.It's not true.
The media says...(crickets chirping) nothing.A lie from the left dies a quiet death.
"Move along...nothing to see here"
They just won't accept that they aren't in charge of information anymore and they don't like it.
Well neokong says it best in his comments of perpetuating the fraud that is the MSM...
ReplyDeleteWell we know that less than intelligent will regardless of the facts will still run with the fairy tale...

General Pace, You Can Save the US - by Arresting Bush for "Conduct Unbecoming" by Martin Lewis
Dear General Pace,
I note with admiration your courage in making clear your private concerns about the safety of the US military and the longterm danger to US national security caused by the President's stubborn refusal to acknowledge the quagmire in Iraq.
Though you are Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the President's principal military advisor - President Bush has shown his disdain for your honesty and wisdom. Though you are a decorated Vietnam war hero - who has served his nation honorably for four decades - the President is dispensing with your services. You have one month left in your position before you are tossed out by the President.
President Bush is going to ignore your advice. Just as he has ignored the advice of other Generals who have had the courage to respectfully point out how terribly wrong he is in respect of the Iraq War and the safety of the US military he is sworn to protect. Highly-decorated colleagues of yours such as General Anthony Zinni (Commander in Chief of U.S. Central Command), General Eric Shinseki (Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army) and General John Abizaid (Commander of the U.S. Central Command).
General Pace - you have the power to fulfill your responsibility to protect the troops under your command. Indeed you have an obligation to do so.
You can relieve the President of his command.
Not of his Presidency. But of his military role as Commander-In-Chief.

HuffPo's are out of their mind over there.I was recently banned from posting on that site for posting comments such as the ones you have read.
ReplyDeleteIn the mean time they attacked me like a pack of wolves on the mighty moose.They called me every name in the book to illustrate that I was posting hateful comments.
Apparently "hateful" to a HuffPo is disagreeing with them.
I should have expected it though using a screen name like NeoKong.
I kicked butt over there.
