But not you. You'll never let a single fact get in the way of your delirium.

The "facts" scare them shitless because they threaten their increasingly tenous hold on their facade of " truth" and "reality". But false pride always precedes the fall, and that fall is going to be one helluva crash and burn. I'm so grateful I'm not standing in their shoes because when that fall comes it's really gonna hurt. But, hey, they will have brought it upon themselves, just like they did the last time around.
Sad.

This is as good an accounting as youll get of what really happened to Lynch. Its obvious most of Tillmans and Lynch complaints should be directed at the media, and not the military.

Why should they blame the media when the media is only reporting what the military officials and the WH told them? Don't you think it'd be wiser to lay the blame precisely where it belongs? Or have you forgotten that the WH and the Pentagon said, from the beginning of this war, that they would be engaging in a campaign of disseminating misinformation?

Much of what Tillman and Lynch have stated is based on media accounts, not official military sources. Where the military made a mistake in reporting on Tillmans death, it was corrected, but the media has already run with it. A football player who throws off millions to become an elite soldier and die heroically is a sensational story, as was Lynchs story. The military released a video of her rescue, they did not tell the media to talk about it for a week and turn her into a hero. Find me official sources in the military that sensationalized their stories and I might agree with you. But there is no evidence of that as of yet, as that article explains.

Selective memory?

More selective memory?

It was the Republican politicians actually, that fed the media, according to the deputy commander at United States Central Command from 2001 to 2003, who represented the military in dealing with politicians regarding the capture and rescue of Pfc. Jessica D. Lynch in Iraq

God forbid.

No doubt it's the way it happened.



The weekly neocon standard is never a good accounting of anything. The deputy commander at United States Central Command from 2001 to 2003, who represented the military in dealing with politicians regarding the capture and rescue of Pfc. Jessica D. Lynch in Iraq, IMHO is a good accounting. I'll post what he said below.

Seriously, do neocons believe the media makes stuff up? The Republicans feed the media lies, and then blame the media for reporting the lies! LOL! I hope the media has learned a valuable lesson in these past 6 years of lies and misleading information from the government.

So Republicans, at what point does "they have an agenda" argument get old?

You know what's amazing in politics today? Republicans feel that there is no real opposition to their views. If there is any disagreement, it's due to a dubious agenda.

'The agenda' doesn't ever have to be defined. 'The agenda' doesn't have to be specific. 'The agenda' is a broad brush that has the ability to paint over anything, especially anything that disagrees with them.

Sheehan has an agenda. Now Lynch has an agenda. The entire Tillman family now has an agenda.

I'd like to know where I can purchase an instant agenda? Are they at Wal-Mart on Isle 6?

It seems that there are no honest people left to disagree with Republicans. I guess the world is evil and a select special few Americans in this universe are the only true visionaries. Meanwhile the Americans that take polls and participate in making public opinion all have agendas (or at least the higher percentage that disagrees with Republicans).

But when Americans dared to suggest an agenda by the Bush administration because they had TWO plans to invade Iraq before 9/11, it was time for Republicans to draw the line and say how dare we question people in power!

It's the blue-collar families that don't set policy or have lawmaking powers that are the true agenda pushers! They're the ones with all the power!

Soon as it does for Dems I guess. Everyone has an agenda.

Maybe we view it that way because it's irrefutably true.
