Gen Betrayus Lying His Ass Off on Newshour

[nosmokes]

basically saying there was no extraordinary security measures taken for mcCain's shopping stroll through the bazaar. 'sure we had soldiers there but it wasn't like he was inside a cocoon or anything.' and we always have helicopters up in the air. disingenious at best. how can i tell he's lying? his lips are moving and words are coming out.

1. Oh for pete's sake...has the man not heard of FILM??? My God. The lies.

The lies, the lies and more lies.

Actually, "cocoon" describes it pretty well, dude.

[xchrom]

2. oh yeah -- soldiers ready to throw themselves in front of any danger

is normal.

100 of them is EXTREMELY normal.

8. could be -- whatever it was -- it was bizarre.

[peacebird]

3. i'm sure when General Betrayus goes to market HE has 100 armed men surrounding him also

So it is "true" that no extraordinary measures were taken. :puke:

[Donnachaidh]

7. It was a propaganda piece

well, things are looking real good here in Iraq, of course, those politicians back in DC
like to wallow in the muck while we save the world. How about the 76,000 wounded soldiers
returning to the United States, many with multiple disabilities? (saw that number quoted
on the McLaughlin Group). Where do they fit into the okey dokey situation.

He did not say that in so many words but that was the message of the piece.
