"fight it right or get out"- Karl Rove's new slogan

[praisethelowered]

As I was watching discussion of the Cindy Sheehan protest on CNN this morning I noticed that the "fair and balanced" approach is being implemented as usual.

Cindy talks about the lies that got us into this war and says that Bush started the war to make his friends richer.

But when CNN covers it and has on a kool-aid drunk mom who lost her son but still licks bush's boots, CNN represents the "other side" by a mom who is supposedly anti-bush but says "fight the war right or get out".

The meaning of this event is being transformed in front of our eyes from an opening into the multitude of fraudulent and impeachable offenses that bushco has orchestrated into an argument for escalating the war.

Bush could very well turn around and say "thank you mom" for the inspiration and start a draft right now. I can hear it now "I have been moved by these mothers of fallen soldiers to make another hard decision. . . we must not let them die in vain. . . we must send more troops to honor the cause. . . a draft is the only way to honor these brave soldiers"

the real message we need to get out there is the one about the lies that got us there in the first place.

DO NOT LET THEM CHANGE THE TERMS OF THIS DEBATE!

1. I was watching the news last night

And felt that there is a shift of blame - a small one, but it will rise in intensity should the constitutional talks fail. It was Aaron Brown who was talking about how the US has spent allot of money and blood over this war - and the Iraqi's better get their act together.....as if they are what is making the war a failure in the first place. That is the interim Iraqi government fault that US troops are facing insurgencies because they cannot agree on a constitution.

Somehow - I don't think a piece of paper is going to stop the insurgency. Not as long as whatever government in power is seen by the Iraqi people as puppets to the US.
