They're Back To Talking About 911 Again......

[global1]

how many times did she say 911 in this interview? Rumsfeld the other day did the same. They're on message again.

Is KKKondi doing the rounds on the a.m. shows to prepare us for *'s speech tonight? Are they looking at our comments here on DU and in the blogs to tweak *'s speech? Depending upon how we react to her morning ramblings - they tweak the big speech to take out the rough edges.

Coincidentally they have some new initiative going on today as well in the farmlands of Iraq. Embedded reporter before Katie's interview with KKKondi says so. That's so * has something to talk about tonight. "See - we are conducting this war the right way".

New word they're throwing around now - 'reconcilliation' in relation to the discussions now going on with the insurgents/terrorists.
Depending on the day and the context that they want to convey to us 'dumb' American people - they use those terms kinda
interchangeably. Terrorist when they want to link it to 911 and insurgent when they want to say that 'the war is in its final throes'.

Did I hear Cheney the other day parse the term 'throes'? - Is he still in the Vail hospital - by the way?

Folks this is a 'choreographed' war within a 'choreographed' pResidency. We are being propagandized.

Us 'dumb' Americans are beginning to see this. Could it be that that is why *'s poll numbers are down. Are we finally waking up.

Oh - and why didn't Katie ask KKKondi about the DSM's? This was a perfect opportunity. Was it because they gave Katie the questions before the interview?

1. The Today Show interview was remarkable in it's lack of originality

I sense that they are just going to use the same lines as they did before the war... with a "support the troops or you will cause them to fail" twist thrown in.

2. Fancy that....

Did anyone here know that we have permanent troops stationed in Korea, Bosnia, Kosovo and in third world countries like Iran?

Just wondering what level of awareness....Call it a rhetorical question. :think:

3. Never forget

The lessons of 911 should always be a reminder to us of the subtle triggers of fascism

4. Peace with Honor?

Sounds and awful lot like that doesn't it? I think they better get a big table ready.

5. You're right..I was flipping through the channels on the boob tube

this morning and caught a glimpse of Lindsey Graham on Faux no News' morning program--so, I held my stomach and listened to the last few questions of the "interview." He was saying how the war in Iraq is a part of the war on terror, not some "side show." In other words, Iraq=Bin Laden BS. The only way we can lose (according to the RW) is for us to pull out.

And, the guy asking him questions--don't know his name--asked if the Saudis, Kuwaitis, Iranians, etc. want to keep this war in Iraq going because, if we win, and get the oil wells pumping in Iraq, then the market gets flooded with oil, and oil prices come down, and they (Saudis, etc.) lose a pile of money. As if the "sovereign" government in Iraq, when the "insurgency" is over, won't ask us to leave, and then help OPEC out.

There will be no gratitude on the Iraqi government's part, once this war is "won" and we are out. (Notice, I didn't say which side is going to win.) They will be in a position to stick it to us like never before...unless we find a way to become independent on foreign oil.

If we really want to win this damned war, we need to develop alternative sources of energy, and tell the countries in the middle-east to put their oil where the sun don't shine.

And, BTW--could someone explain to me why it is that when foreign oil prices go so high--those oil companies who supposedly don't import foreign oil raise their prices, too. It seems to me the "patriotic" thing to do would be to keep their oil prices down--since the cost to them of producing a barrel of oil would not be affected. Or is it that their "greed" takes over, and they love sticking it to the American people as well?
