Welllllllll ... it seems that (according to a planted stooge at a news conference) it is the news medias fault that things are going so bad in Iraq .....errrr .. ahh ... well it's their fault that Americans have such a poor grasp of how well things are going in Iraq ... ahhhhhhh .... wellll ...... you know because all they do is report the bad items coming from Iraq and none of the good things ........ uhhhhhh ... it's because so many of the reporters in Iraq don't get out in the field and see what is really going on - all they do is sit around the hotels and make reports from their balconies and that's why there is talk of a possible civil war .... GOOD LORD - CAN'T THEY GET THEIR STORIES STRAIGHT?
So far, 88 or 89 news people have been killed in Iraq (so much for NOT getting out in the field).
These softball questions were tossed to Bush during a news conference and it was obvious (even to other reporters and television commentators) that this person was a planted stooge and was in the audience to try to help Bush bolster his numbers ... numbers that have been steadily been falling the closer Iraq gets to the civil war that Bush denies heatedly will never happen.
It is still ironic to me that even after 3 years, GW still hasn't been able to come up with a justification excuse for the invasion of Iraq that can stand the test of time (or) resonate with Americans here and abroad.
NOW WE ARE BEING BOMBARDED WITH THE EXCUSE THAT "IT IS THE NEWS MEDIA" THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BAD NEWS COMING OUT OF IRAQ.
AGAIN - King George is trying to abdicate his responsibility for the mess that will be waiting for his replacement when George finally leaves the Whitehouse. I foresee even more turbulent times ahead of us as a NEW House and Senate and a NEW President try to unravel the many threads and knots that Junior has embroiled our country in throughout the world.
Not only is the war in Iraq not over (as Bush so proudly announced), the war on terrorism has turned out to be an absolute sham ... the only thing the administration has managed to do is to deprive Americans of some of their civil liberties in the name of National Security ... the so called screening process for packages coming into this country and control of our borders is an absolute joke ... when only one out of every ten containers is even looked at (let alone actually inspected), an entire army could be smuggled in via containers and nobody would know about it until an attack was actually carried out. Will this happen? ... your guess is as good as mine (and probably better than our intelligence agencies) ... for sure, if the plan is to smuggle in weapons and explosives then the odds of the shipment being intercepted is quite low.
As far as this latest attack by the administration against the news media, it is just another in a long list of excuses for Bush's and his cronies' piss poor performance since GW became President of the United States. Not only do GW's numbers continue to fall ... any expectation that Bush will resolve the mess in Iraq continue to head for the toilet bowl.
So much for the 'good intentions' that some Republican supporters try to assign to Bush and his administration.
