Notice the media keeps answering a question no one is asking?

[NNN0LHI]

At least a hundred times in the past few weeks I have heard a lot of different people proclaiming:

"The CIA had no idea what was about to happen in Egypt. Came as a complete surprise."

Kind of like that is our story, and we are holding to it.

Funny thing is no one has been asking if they did know it was coming.

See the problem there?

1. Obama came out the other day and blamed the CIA

for missing the fact

[FreakinDJ]

2. Would explain why ElBaradei has been excluded from Talks

If anyone he would be the CIA's successor

3. Maybe the CIA was looking at terrorist groups rather than the people in general

Not that I mean to defend the CIA in any way, but I doubt they've ever been interested in the people. We obviously had the man we wanted in Mubarak, so why spend time there? The CIA is busy manipulating Democracies into becoming dictatorships with our chosen put in power. We have our National Interest to protect dontcha know.

6. True, but if we had gotten the word that Mubarak was no longer sustainable ...

... you know darn well we would have had our people in there immediately so after the smoke clears the right guys are in charge. Lot of times a small controlled burn is preferred to some underlying smoldering embers that could burst into a huge unmanageable wildfire at any given time.

4. When you compare corporate McPravada

to Al Jazeera, the contrast is both striking and enlightening. It speaks for itself.

5. Methinks the media doth protest too loudly.

Noticed that too. :thumbsup:

7. I have noticed that lately the media mostly covers itself in international things

Especially CNN. It seems to be more about how great they are while in Haiti, or wherever. Anderson Cooper seems to always become the story since Katrina.
