Our Regime is Writing Letters Home FOR our Troops!
Edited on Mon Oct-13-03 06:56 PM by Starpass
Almost missed this on the evening news until my husband "hushed" me and told me to listen!! Remember this little "happy news/good news from Iraq" promotion that the regime is now promoting in retaliation to the critics?? Well, it seems that our boys in uniform are now writing great, upbeat, positive glowing letters about Iraq to newspapers back home----except the guys are NOT writing them. They are being written for them and mailed without their knowledge. There is a group over there who are now in charge of writing these bogus letters home.

I caught just the tail end. An editor was disgusted that this was happening and that our tax dollars were going to this propaganda. A military Mom was happy---she thought it was just great that her son's bogus letter was published (you know, rah, rah troops and all that crap). With parents like these, the guys don't need terrorists!! Perhaps it's time to send Mom and Dad to Baghadad and perhaps some good terrorist would do the honor of blowing their useless brains out. Do you see what we are up against?? How in the hell can people sit there and think this okay and blather about what an honorable man Bush and the rest of his regime are. I truly don't think we can beat these scum----think what our candidate is going to be up against. The filthy lies, etc. will be of a magnitude we have not even seen yet. And the frightening thing is that their followers don't care. They cheer on the lies.

2. There is no honor or integrity with these guys.
As soon as you guys start seeing letters from me getting published about how much I loved getting my tuition raised and grants and loans reduced you can officially call bullshit on these clowns even claiming to be human.

3. I have a daughter in the Navy, and i would be pissed...
if I got one of these 'letters'!

There is NO reason why the gov't, whether military of civilian, should emcompass this idea. They have NO shame and will do anything to steal, an election.
The best we can do is expose thse bastards and keep them in the limelight. there willa lways be pinheads that think this is great, but i want FACTS, not some tripe that PR units come up with!

:grr:
