No one is talking about just what a total charade the Mission Acc video op was
Edited on Tue May-01-07 10:41 AM by Atman
Remember all the stories at the time, about how close the ship actually was to port, and how they positioned it with the wind and cruised at the exact speed of the wind so it wouldn't blow Bush's hair and ruin the photo op? The bogus speech was just a small part of the overall story of the total charade, the fraud perpetrated against the American people. As if the whole lie-us-into-war angle wasn't a red flag enough, when they were willing to go to this length just for his little photo op, we should have been ready for all the bullshit to come. Fake statue-toppling, fake heroics from soldiers, fake letters from Niger...fake fake fake.

The only thing that amazes me anymore is that there are still people who deny that this administration totally scammed the country and has killed tens/hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children for their own personal gain.

1. When The Unitary Executive owns the M$M and The Supreme Court ...
it's difficult to get true NEWS and investigative journalism out to The Average American. :shrug:

Our M$M is Dear Leader's stenographer and The SC are his rubber stamp for detainment and continued torture of the prisoners at Guantanamo. :(

3. This also cost a lot of money and kept the troops from their families.

On edit. Don't forget the fake Turkey! (Or is it, "don't forget Poland.") The BS runs deep my friends.

4. And it was shot so you could not see San Diego in the background
Leni Riefenstahl would have been proud of that production.

But he is a phony President who pushed a to real war that was a mistake
and was based on lies.

Jet Fuel
Costs for keeping aircraft carrier @ sea longer for this "fiction."

P.R. people

It has to be @ least $500,000.00

do a search on that now!

8. Remember Michael Moore's acceptance speech: We Are Living in Ficticious Times.
Edited on Tue May-01-07 10:49 AM by Beelzebud
At the time he was slammed by almost everyone.

Every new revelation that comes out of this administration, only proves him more and more correct with each passing day.
