Franken: Kaloogian's NEW excuse re: fake Baghdad photo
I'm listening to AAR... Franken is saying that Kaloogian is now sayig that the "military" asked that non-descript photos be used for security reasons... to account for the selection of the photo.

Wait... I thought that the photo was ACCIDENTLY chosen by the webmaster, who had MISTAKEN it for Baghdad! Now he is saying that an alterntive location was posted to represent Baghdad instead of an ACTUAL photo, per the US military's request? What?

1. non-descript photos?
I guess a photo that doesn't even describe the country which it was reportedly taken in is about as 'nondescript' as you can get!

3. If I recall correctly he has been using both excuses
since the beginning. Seems they don't require the msm to do the same though. Why would that be?

Well, my theory on that is that this numbnuts never left any area that was secured by the military and real reporters getting the real perspective do. As if those that oppose us don't know where those locations are anyway, right?

He is full of bull!

4. Now listen very carefully: Everything I say is a lie.
But if everything you say is a lie then you are lieing when you say everything you say is a lie... That does not compute....compute....cannot be cor-----r---e----c---t :nuke:

5. When one lie doesn't work, just switch to another.

9. He also didn't want to give the location away, as to alert terra dudes....
to its whereabouts.

Whatever the hell that means.

10. There is this guess. They had no photos of convincing photos from Iraq
for a couple of reasons.

1. There were no shots that would look benign, 'with-it', untraumatized, normal, casual.
2. Their movement was carefully restricted.

Therefore,

one or some of them chose photos that they believed would never be recognized. Because? Because their level of cultural awareness was used to judge levels of cultural awareness of others - and specifically, who those who they thought were their readers.

11. Pathetic. Liars.
I think what they meant to say is that Rummy has decreed that they should lie constantly to us, as the truth threatens national security, to which we have no right to know what they are actually doin' TO KEEP US SAFE. Good God, people, don't you know we're at war? We lie to you for your own good.

12. Only non-descript photos for "security reasons"?
But, but, but... if things are going so well in Iraq, what possible security reasons could there be?
