No imbeds allowed in new "offensive"--Pentagon tapes war now

[linazelle]

Media compliantly plays it without asking WHY this heightened level of attack is necessary.

Welcome to Amerikka.

1. Don't want those annoying folks with cameras hanging 'round . . .

. . . taking pix of blown-up brown babies and elderly people.



Miserable, murderin' bastards. :-(

[meegbear]

8. No, no, no ... they're doing it to protect the journalists from injury ...

or possibly getting kidnapped.

The Pentagon's always thinking about the safety of everyone.

14. Woof!!!

:hi:

[meegbear]

17. WOOF!!

:hi:

2. they'll let them go on only tightly scripted ops...

photo-ops, that is

peace

[FloridaPat]

3. People are starting to get suspicious with all those dead reporters around

[Ufomammut]

4. They can't even trust their "embedded" lap dogs

To effectively spin and omit at this point.

BTW, as I'm sure everyone already knows, "embedded" translates into "state propagandist."

[Vinca]

5. Remember the movie that was based on a fake moon landing? nt

[Tesha]

12. "Capricorn One" (NT)

[DELUSIONAL]

6. Americans might not know but IRAQIS will know

how many have died. When relatives turn up dead and/or missing in huge numbers -- they will know.

More war crimes -- and the "troops" who are "just following orders".

Who needs International law -- the gang in the white house is the law. They can do whatever they damned well please and apparently there is nothing the world can do.

Americans are being seen as dumb idiots in the rest of the world -- the era of the UGLY American is here.

7. Indifference to mass slaughter = ugly

It's very difficult to reach people whose moral compass has been subverted through constant exposure to the vast media apparatus that ensures, promotes and encourages their mindlessness and apathy. You'd like to believe that true concern, empathy and sympathy are "in there" somewhere, just waiting to be expressed, however, with some people, the chauvinistic nationalism aspect of the propaganda equals foremost appeasement of other base emotions.

Bad karma...Bad moon rising.

9. Training exercise / Propaganda

[PA Democrat]

10. Of course. The Pentagon doesn't want any more photos of slaughtered

civilians making their way into the American consciousness.

[Ufomammut]

16. A Very Big "No-No" Indeed!

Pictures say so much, don't they?

"Hey, look at that stack of mutilated children....why, that inspires a true sense of LIBERTY!!!"

As in, "liberated" from earthly existence. God, cosmos, fate, karma, however you perceive it, will remember.

[Village Idiot]

11. Why supply material for upcoming war crimes tribunals?

Business As Usual. Depleted Uranium, Chemical Weapons, White Phosphorus, Indescriminate carpet bombing of civilian targets...

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

13. The Pentagon has such a stirling record of truth telling.

Too bad Leni Riefenstahl is dead or she could be an advisor.

15. Not so with Wolfie-he asked repeatedly last afternoon why no

media was there. I can't figure out if he was honestly perturbed because it was a coverup or he was just miffed CNN couldn't get its own footage.
