More fake news from the Bush Administration

Even after all the publicity surrounding paid reporters, fake "science" reports, planted news stories, even with all that, this man just doesn't quit:

RE: More fake news from the Bush Administration

You're tax dollars are paying for these staged events. Military resources are tied up for these things. All so our commander in chief can misrepresent the actual situation to us, as opposed to facing reality.

How much do you think the 45 minutes of prep actually cost in man hours? All for unproductive propaganda.

In the grand scheme of things this is small, but eventually they do add up. I'm not a fan of using our military men and women as props though.

A frank and honest exchange between the CIC and the troops would be worthehile if it was really frank and honest.

The last time that happened, Dumsfeld got in hot water for not supplying armored vehicles for policing the nation-building in Iraq. Lesson learned!

RE: More fake news from the Bush Administration

I'm shocked, SHOCKED to see politicians using "staged" events.
Bust must be a genius to be the first politician to ever reherse a live event. I'm sure it has never been done before. No democrat would ever stage an event for favorable publicity would they?

RE: More fake news from the Bush Administration

"So long as I'm the president, we're never going to back down, we're never going to give in, we'll never accept anything less than total victory," Bush said.

The president told them twice that the American people were behind them.

"You've got tremendous support here at home," Bush said.

Wow, the only thing that he got right was the first part about so long as hes in office he'll never give up.

So, you represent a large contingent of individuals who do not support the troops?
