CITIZEN ALERT v1.42
BUSH MOVES THE CHESS PIECES
AROUND THE BOARD
Well, Tony Snow certainly wasn't lying when he told the press room it was gonna be a big news day. I've never seen more orchestrated crap in my life! Just days before the 9/11 anniversary, and the Bush administration realizing that everyone's caught on to what a disaster their policies have gotten them into and in a blatant move to shift the weekend news to their stories they decide that yesterday was the day they'd better start doing stuff.
First up Bush announces that, yeah, we had secret CIA prisons overseas that were used to "interrogate" prisoners. Now, these top 14 suspects are been moved to Guantanamo Bay for their trials.
Now, let's look at that for a moment. If we're supposedly not torturing anybody, and they can be held at Guantanamo Bay now, then why couldn't they have been held there all along? "Why the two orders Col. Jessup"? They weren't being held at GITMO because they were in a country where THEY WERE BEING TORTURED! That's the only reason why they couldn't be there before but it's perfectly okay today.
And now, the trials of the detainees will be starting in the coming weeks I'm guessing. Is this our October surprise perhaps? A media blitz of trials and terrorists being carted off to jail for the 11 o'clock news?
And what of Afghanistan and Bin Laden? Well, they covered that yesterday as well.
U.S. troops on Wednesday launched a fearsome barrage of artillery and rockets into a mountainous militant stronghold in eastern Afghanistan where they suffered their deadliest combat loss more than a year ago.
Terrorists. CHECK Afghanistan. CHECK.
What about Iraq? When is the hand over going to be...oh, wait a minute.
Iraq will take control of its armed forces command on Thursday, a major step on its painful path toward independence and an essential move before international troops can eventually withdraw.
I heard a Congressman yesterday ask why we can send our kids to just 8 months of boot camp before we send them into a war, but it takes Iraq years to train.
IRAQ. CHECK.
The only thing missing yesterday was a kid down a well. This is how your government is arranging their agenda to run our country. Not what is best and most efficient, but how it will fit in their political timetable to save their jobs! Is this how you want your country run?
Watching Karl Rove roll out everything on Wednesday like he was a kid who waited til the last minute to clean up his room before his mom got home just reinforces what I was talking about yesterday. It’s their jobs and their friends first then the country.
Next thing you know they’re going to be putting out their own proganda films to coincide with elections just to make sure…oh, wait a minute.
I got this yesterday from DNC Executive Director Tom McMahon:
The ABC television network -- a cog in the Walt Disney empire -- unleashed a promotional blitz in the last week for a new "docudrama" called "The Path to 9/11". ABC has thrown its corporate might behind the two-night production, and bills it as a public service: a TV event, to quote the ABC tagline, "based on the 9/11 Commission Report".
That's false. "The Path to 9/11" is actually a bald-faced attempt to slander Democrats and revise history right before Americans vote in a major election.
The miniseries, which was put together by right-wing conservative writers, relies on the old GOP playbook of using terrorism to scare Americans. "The Path to 9/11" mocks the truth and dishonors the memory of 9/11 victims to serve a cheap, callous political agenda. It irresponsibly misrepresents the facts and completely distorts the truth.
Again, back to yesterday, the GOP has a two night docu-drama and we got Al Gore standing over here with a freaking slide show?!
