HEADLINE: Tillman's Fictional Heroic Death: Did Bush Know?

It just keeps going higher up the ladder, as per usual.

===

...Noting a Pentagon e-mail from April 28 about White House speech writer John Currin seeking information about Tillman for the president's speech at the White House Correspondents' Dinner a few days later, Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., suggested that it was more than just a coincidence that when "the president spoke at the Correspondents' Dinner, he was careful in his wording.

" praised Pat Tillman's courage but carefully avoided describing how he was killed," said Cummings. "It seems possible that the P4 memo was a direct response to the White House's inquiry. And if that is true, it means that the White House knew the true facts about Cpl. Tillman's death before the memorial service and weeks before the Tillman family was told."

Kevin Tillman added, "It's a bit disingenuous to think that the administration did not know about what was going on, something so politically sensitive."

1. I could believe Chimp didn't know since nobody seems to have the balls to tell him

any bad news.

2. dick cheney, lynne cheney, karl rove, and others in bushco

are known obsessives when it comes to controlling history.

it's their version of events they want out there -- and the tillman story represented a perfect oppotunity for this sick crew to place their version of history front and center.

stories like this are under constant manipulation by this whitehouse -- they know how important it is to place a figure like tillman or lynche firmly in the minds of the american people.

it capture the muscular myth that repukes are more equipped to ''defend'' us than anyone else.

3. What astounds me no end is how Bushco (incl. Rice) can collude in their own

INSANITY. Because presenting non-reality as reality must be some form of psychosis.

Don't the Bushes and Cheneys even care that their children would be learning FALSEHOODS?

5. hey i'm with you -- but have you ever listened to lynne cheney

lambast scholars?

when i think of how deep these guys want to go to get their version of not just history -- but american history in particular -- it really creeps me out.

they are deadly serious -- and bushco gone in 08 isn't going to change that.

6. Even if * didn't know

you can damn well bet Turdblossom knew, and for that matter probably orchestrated the entire coverup.

8. If Abizaid knew, then Rumsfeld knew. And if Rumsfeld knew ...
