View from the trenches

To all those who so want to villaninze the US for any and all actions in Afghanistan or Iraq, here's a perspective I think is worth considering...

That's a conservative propaganda website.

I wonder if they got paid by the Department of Education to print those things.

Stranger things have happened.

Read the article... deal with the content. Then comment if you have the intellect to do so.

I read it and I gave consideration to the source.

Like I said, it is so hard to differentiate actual reported from government funded propaganda these days. Until I see the books on this one I will have to assume someone was paid to print this story.

I wonder if they get paid by the word.

Actually Korg, I agree with you on this one. The media cannot be trusted to present anything except what it feels is sensational enough to sell. I beleive that it is very rare for the public to get an unbiased presentation from the media on either side of a story.

Many of the reporters writing the stories are not even onsite as he stated and others only follow what they think the public wants to see or will be sensational enough to sell.

Accuracy - has simply gone to hell in a handbasket. Who needs accuracy, why check facts?

But, that said, you cannot expect an "Ah Shit" like torturing prisoners to be ignored because of some "Atta Boy" stuff like opening schools and hospitals either. Nevertheless, both should be covered and presented accurately to the American public.

Ah the blindness and ignorance of the true believer.

What would you had argued if that had been printed on any "liberal" news site?

No, don't answer that.. I wouldn't want you to strain a brain cell trying to wrap your head around the possibility that you might have a warped view of the world... notice I said might.

I wanted to find out more about this "World Tribune", but when i clicked on "why we exist", it told me the page could not be found.

AMERICA FUCK YEAH COMING TO SAVE THE MOTHERFUCKING DAY YEAH.

Umm..Korg..have you went to thier home page and looked at the articles? If this isn't a case of propoganda press then I'll kiss George Bush's bottom.

You speak of the blindness and ignorance of the true believer, yet display obvious symptoms of that same blindness yourself.

While I agree that the quality and trustworthiness of the press has gone steeply down hill in recent years, I believe it is because they are owned by large corporations who have a stake in what is printed. Rupert Murdock has certainly been known to kill many stories that cast his rich and republican friends in a bad light. And broadcasters and reporters from many news outlets have spoken about intimidation tactics by the present administration as well as by corporate influences. So perhaps you should take the blindfold from your own eyes first and do a little more research than to trust everything said in a clearly conservative-sponsored propoganda outlet.

Korg:


Don't worry.... I'll have a Members Only Republican Party Headquarters up and running soon to help blunt this liberal agenda in SL. We will make sure Security is tight to keep any hippies from bombing the place. There day is coming...

hey, us radicals resent being lumped in with the liberals

Ahh the blind calling the visually impaired imperceptive (and the follower calling the adherent
a partisan all in one shot) Pfft

One problem, Korg.

It's not a War. It's a War Crime.

Only one of the anti-Bush and anti-Korg adherents in these forums have yet to respond to any of the comments in the article.

"Your" collective responses have ignored its content in its entirety.

As such, you are "collectively blind".. some appearing to also be "collectively memory deficient" as to where I have posted that I stand on the US position/policy on going into Iraq in the first place.

Still, for some obscure reason, I hoped against hope that you collectively still had two cooperatively functioning braincells and could engage an article's content outside of your entrenched biases.

Curmudgeon that I am, I should have know better than to expect much from the collective "liberal (read true beleiver/perpetual Bush-basher) you".

I now return you to your self-congratulatory, self-imposed delusions of self-righteous indignation that anyone would dare to try to help free you from your ignorance.

What do you want, a book report?

I told you what I thought of the article.

Lovely strawman...where did you get his clothes?

You just haven't figured it out yet Korg. Anything supporting President Bush is conservative propeganda while bullshit that goes as far as compare him to Hitler is taken seriously. Ignorance is abound my friend.

So untrue, Billy. But that doesn't mean that I will follow you blindly into that good night either. You believe that anyone who questions the gov-co, religion or your value system is a liberal whacko. To each their own. I never stated that all is right in the world and we are the scoundrels mucking the system, this does not mean that I will refrain from questioning the Feds objectives when my freedoms are put on the guillotine.

Hopefully all the buttkissing you folks do will get you a seat on the rocket to the moon with the Bushies when the world goes boom

Ohh and Korgie baby....those references are soooo unbiased...yep no slant there. You must love the taste of crow which isn't odd for a scarecrow, I suppose. I seem to remember you denouncing several links because you questioned the credibility of the authors yet you give me this crapola as evidence of your theories. Pfft.

I invite you to show me why a comparison of Bush's facist administration with Hitler's fascist administration isn't valid.








BOXER '08

Nothing new, unfortunately. President Carter, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, personally comitted War Crimes by ordering the transport of armed troops in Red Cross marked airplanes during a conflict. President Truman personally ordered the coverup of the massacres of nearly one hundred thousand Koreans and Greeks, which is also a war crime.

no arguement there. I quite agree.

I hereby award every response to the initial post, but one, the Korg Award for Ignorance and Blindness in the Face of Reality.

Even Korg has never managed to meet the eligibility requirements for that prestigous award. While normally award recipients are deemed worthy of congratulations, at this time, all Korg can do is shake his head and wonder about the intellect "the left".

Poor pity me buttons can be picked up on your way out of the reception hall from the usher standing at the door.
