Is CNN trying to put out MEME that Brit Soldiers were Traitors? Is Bush Jabbing at Blair?

[KoKo]

What I picked up from coverage so far today was that US Navy Admiral in charge of ....something was interviewed by CNN's Barbara Starr (the Pentagon Suck Up) saying that "No US NAVY WOULD ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE CAPTURED." This Admiral or PooBah was saying that "unlike the Brits our Navy Personnel have a Hand Book saying "Shoot and Defend yourself." He also accused the Brits of not having American Policy of only giving "Name, Rank and Serial Number."

Now CNN is trying is talking about the "suits" the British Detainees were wearing. Are Repug Ops/Disinfo Specialists trying to imply out that Ahmanidinejad gave them Armani Suits as payment for their admitting they were in Iranian waters?

The "Drumbeat goes on" dissing House Speaker Pelosi for daring to DEFY THE CHIMPEROR/CHENEY by (looking better than Condi) on her visit to the ME and there's even more about McCain where they show his "flack jacket" but don't reveal that 21 people were killed in that Bazarre in Iraq where Lindsey Graham bought his "Five Rugs for Five Dollars." The blood is in those rugs Lindsey and the "haints" (Southern Gullah Expression for Bad Ghosts) will come out of them and go after you in NIGHTMARES the rest of your disgusting life. The ghost of Raped and Killed Abeer and her family are on both your heads!

It's really disgusting to watch this...as a Christian on the week that's most solemn in our beliefs.

One can see Jesus Weep because of how his teachings were WARPED in this display. And even if you aren't a Christian you know the great thinkers and writers down through the ages would have been APPAULED AT the BUSH/CHENEY's. That's unless they were Fascist leaning Pigs who were in favor of Pogroms/Purges/Inquisitions. :-(

1. You could cut the irony with a knife...

The chickenhawks going on at length pimping a war with Iran over the last two weeks are now calling the British troops "soft" and "cowardly."

2. The one interview like this I saw made special reference to say they acted in accord with policy

I've never seen anyone suggest they were traitors. Bush isn't about to do it, because Blair is his last friend. And anyway, they think Democrats are traitors, so if this was indicated, they should feel in good company! lol

3. "No US NAVY WOULD ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE CAPTURED."

That would be news to John McCain. Dollars to donuts, Admiral or Poobah has never been in harm's way in his life.

4. What happened to the Iranians we kidnapped?

I heard about this briefly on Democracy Now. Apparently WE kidnapped some Iranian officials in Iraq to meet with the Iraqi government. Apparently this happened back in January. Apparently there were two others who managed to avoid being kidnapped. I haven't heard much about this. And of course no one is saying whether the capture of these sailors was in response to that or not.

5. MSNBC too

That Jack Jacobs has been on there all day talking about they'd have never taken him alive and the British were wimps, similar smack talk. I don't know why they're doing it, doesn't make any sense to me.

7. He's been doing this over and over since the news broke...

He's like a machine! Sheesh...who is paying him besides MSNBC? :shrug:

9. I know

Can't we get an infiltrator into a news organization and find out where these talking points are coming from - get some copies of them?? I don't understand it. I said it before, we need to get names. Who is putting this stuff out there.

6. Have they forgotten the USS PUEBLO?

I think they might have forgotten this bit of American history:

The USS Pueblo was captured by North Korea in 1968.


I have stopped watching MSNBC because of Col. Jack Jacobs, their "expert", because he has a decided lack of historical knowledge, that is simply too vast to tolerate.

8. No. They're counting on OUR having forgotten.
