BushWatch: What We Don't See on TV

President George W. Bush:

A battlefront in the war on terror is, of course, Iraq. And people in our country are unsettled because of the war, and I understand that. I fully understand why people in America are disquieted about what they're seeing on their TV screens. There's a concern about whether or not we can win. There's no doubt in my mind we will win...

The enemy cannot defeat us on the battlefield, but what they can do is put horrible images on our TV screens.

It is not what we are seeing on our TV screens that disquiets us.

Three years ago this month, we saw the President make a tailhook landing on an aircraft carrier before a sign that read, "Mission Accomplished." We did not see the nearly 2,500 US military coffins returned home since then. We did not see prisoners being tortured and killed at Abu Ghraib. And we did not see the methodical slaughter of 24 Iraqi civilians including a 3-year-old girl and a 76-year-old man shot in their homes, killings that Republican Representative John Kline called "not an accident... an atrocity." Worst of all, we have not seen the US command, including Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, held accountable. That disquiets us.

1. just a note, if I remember correctly, he didn't land it... didn't even fly

it that much. Took the stick for a moment when they were wasting millions flying out to the photo-op, but if you recall, chimpy is not allowed to fly a plane, per the National Guard. :evilgrin:

4. He did stuff about six socks in his crotch, however...and proceeded

to strut around the flight deck like a freakin' peacock.

5. indeed...

and a most ludicrous display at that. :puke:

"Guys, ya think those dimwits bought that crap?"
