Draft A Chickenhawk.


If the Little Turd from Crawford and his neo-con masters think Iraq is important enough to shed blood over, let them stand in the front ranks.



Instead of serving up some plastic turkey safe in the Green Zone airport, Sneer and Jebthro should be volunteering to ride in a Hummer on patrol.



There’s plenty of room inside a twin-roter helicopter for a whole bunch of neocons. They don’t have to fly into a mountain or combat zone – nothing too dangerous for these brave draft dodgers – I mean men who are too valuable to risk.

Perhaps then members of the Bush Family Evil Empire possessed of such high self-esteem could spend their priorities on noble endeavors, like ambulance driving.



The pRetzeldunce, I believe, merits service as 1939 Berlin military polizei would suit him. Perfectly.



Well. The important thing is that George Walker Bush actually does what a leader is supposed to do. Which is his problem. All he does is mislead.

Sadly, Bush will never be more than a smirking cheerleader.



Which is what the neocons are – loud-mouthed war mongers and draft dodgers.

1. Didn't Alexander fight at the front of his ranks?
It seems like Bush thinks he is some glorious conqueror, but he's forgetting that all the great conquerors were actually willing to fight themselves.

2. Excellent point. Gen. Patton said: "A leader leads from the front."
Bush got to the airport for a couple of hours, but that was it.



DUer Stephanie calls him the "Coward from Crawford."

In earlier days, people liked to see things in terms of right or wrong.

Well, as Dan Rather said, Bush's records show he did get preferential treatment.

And, as many DUers and friends around the net have said, Smirk did go AWOL.

3. This is the proof that they are running pysops on the American public.

There is somebody standing behind the woman in front of Bush. That person is with the U.S. Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command who's shoulder emblem is seen here:



This is the infamous "plastic turkey" photo op correct? This just proves that the U.S Army is engaged in psychological warfare against the American people.

4. Isn't there a law against that? Aren't 'We the People' the good guys?
Great catch for the patch, jara sang. And, yep, it's the turkey photo-op.

Psy Ops had practice. Remember when CNN and NPR admitted using "interns" supplied by the Pentagon?



Military Interns Booted From CNN, NPR

How Did Army Officers Get Into The News Business?


TV Guide April 15-21, 2000
The Robins Report By J. Max Robins
-permission pending-

Top executives at CNN and National Public Radio were more than a bit surprised when they learned that their organizations had used interns from a rather nontraditional source-the United States Army's Psychological Operations unit (PSYOP).

"We have interns from all over the world, but they are accredited journalists or studying ," says Eason Jordan, CNN president of news gathering and international networks. "But those interns had no business being here."

Both internship programs were ended shortly after top management learned of their existence.

A highly specialized unit of the military, PSYOP personnel are often trained in the production of videos as well as television and radio programming used to advance American policy abroad. "In Somalia, we broadcast on radio and shortwave," says Lt. Col. Paul J. Mullin. "We've helped countries in South America produce antidrug public-service announcements."

According to CNN executives and military officials, the intern program began last June and ended in March. A total of five PSYOP sergeants were assigned to the network's Atlanta headquarters-two at the Southeast bureau, two at CNN Radio and one at the satellite department. At NPR's Washington, D.C., base, three PSYOP personnel worked for periods ranging from six weeks to four months from September 1998 through May 1999 on such programs as All Things Considered and Morning Edition.

The biggest buzzard in the room is starring. Heh heh heh.

Bonus test for your eyes: Isn't that the side profile and bun of disgraced ex-general Janis Karpinski? She's the one who actually said the people running the show at Abu Ghraib were higher ups from the Pentagon.



Gee. Isn't that where the nice Mr. Rumsferatu works?

5. The Intelligence Community
The citizenry of the United States could really do themselves a favor if they educated themselves about the Intelligence Community and military operations.
