The Unfortunate Return Of Yellow Journalism...[Part 1]

OMG There is yellow journalism

YELLOW JOURNALISM
Via BalloonJuice

One of the classic examples of groupthink Janis refers to is the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Keep this list in mind when you watch the video, particularly the response from Rove, Bartlett and others to McClellan’s book. Probably something folks like me should also keep in mind when discussing the Clinton campaign.

From IamTRex

The shit is blowing wide open and as citizens of Lefty Blogistan, I would like to congratulate each and every one of you for Being Right All Along. Probably nobody in the corporate media is going to do that, so everybody, all together now.

1. Raise your arm.
2. Bend your elbow.
3. Pat yourself on the back.
Now, smile, because that’s probably all you’re getting.
This is the difference between the conspiracies that the Right sees and the ones we write about. Ours are real.

Karl Rove was on H&C and says he’s irresponsible in his behavior and compliments Scotty by saying he sounds like a left wing blogger. Thanks Karl, that’s quite a compliment. You see, truth and honesty are now associated to left wing blogs and lying, distorting and Stepford like behavior is now what Conservative Republicans represent.

And ME

Department of Veterans' AffairsDisgusting: In San Francisco federal court Monday, attorneys for veterans' rights groups accused the VA of nothing less than a cover-up - deliberately concealing the real risk of suicide among veterans.

Bush Holds Troops Hostage

Dan Froomkin - It Came From Planet Bush - washingtonpost.com

Said Bush: "One year ago, much of Baghdad was under siege. . . . Today, . . . ordinary life is beginning to return."

To call anything in today's Baghdad even vaguely normal is flatly outrageous

Firedoglake - Firedoglake weblog » More Than Ever, Impeachment Is the Cure
What should Congress do with a President that defiantly tells the nation that he will hold over 100,000 soldiers hostage unless they achieve a “success” that is essentially undefined and likely unachievable?

TPMmuckraker September 14, 2007 10:30 AM

Last night, the president thanked "the 36 nations who have troops on the ground in Iraq." To which the Washington Post sighs:

But the State Department's most recent weekly report on Iraq said there are 25 countries supplying 11,685 troops -- about 7 percent of the size of the U.S. forces

TPMmuckraker September 14, 2007 9:30 AM
And that's exactly why it's good enough for President Bush. The report expects the American people to believe that yet another in an endless litany of promises is a sign of the inevitable march of sectarian healing

Talking Points Memo | Whatever ...
But as we saw in President Bush's speech last night things have gotten to a point where the White House spinmeisters hardly seem even to have their heart in it anymore. And the president just seems to be living in some sort of alternative universe populated by the failed gods of his narcissism and vainglory.

No Plan Means No Victory EVER

ARGGGGGGGGGGH

Via WhshingtonPost -

For instance, they mention a discussion in the White House Situation Room a week ago: "For two hours, President Bush listened to contrasting visions of the U.S. future in Iraq. Gen. David H. Petraeus dominated the conversation by video link from Baghdad, making the case to keep as many troops as long as possible to cement any security progress. Adm. William J. Fallon, his superior, argued instead for accepting more risks in Iraq, officials said, in order to have enough forces available to confront other potential threats in the region."

Status Quo or KILL everybody and ask questions later. Thats Bushs Military leaders only options. Either A or B they have no REAL plan to end this.

Bush is Killing our troops on purpose

The surge is working at getting more of our soldiers killed, giving weapons to our former enemies that will use them - to shoot us in the back as we leave and has made Baghdad so safe Bush had to fly to the middle of the dessert to visit Iraq. -

There is No Acceptable violence


FireDogLake - WAKE UP

From the page: "Any leader who sends the nations troops in to wage war, to lose their lives and limbs, to see their comrades shattered to survive only to relive those battles in their waking nightmares had better be damn sure that the cause is just and that every effort is made to prevent a war from happening at all costs. As we all know, that wasnt the case with Iraq, not even close. Our nations soldiers deserve far better than this. Far better. And so do their families."

-UPDATE
Bush Quote from a book about him

"'So now I'm an October--November man,' Bush had said that February, a picture of rustic calm as his boots rested atop the fine historic desk. 'I'm playing for October--November.' . . .

"His playing field was now the future. That, of course, assumed that October--November would at last bring stability to Iraq and thereby surge his depleted mandate. Bush did in fact operate with that belief -- always. . . . What had to be believed, he believed.

Bush Lied about 6 months of surge all along-
He never once said
an 8 month surge -
never once said Please I might need more time-
HE had already decided more troops would die for his pleasure


The Sydney Morning Herald - 09-06-07

This was obviously apparent to Bush, who arrived in Australia in a chipper mood.

"We're kicking ass," he told Mark Vaile on the tarmac after the Deputy Prime Minister inquired politely of the President's stopover in Iraq en route to Sydney.

We are letting more troops die and killing more civilians- there is equal or more insurgent violence all thanks to the SURGE - Whos ass are we kicking except our own.

The Good Neoconman From FDL

The fact that the national press corps is now referring to the “yes people” — who sit at the President’s feet and vociferously debate and disagree in private (HA!) only to parrot talking points in public – as “the war cabinet” makes me nauseous. They are laughing at the entire nation, and daring someone to call them on it.

Video: President Bush’s Surprise Photo Op In Iraq

Boyce is on the money, calling this what it was — a staged photo op. Watkins tries to spin this as a positive move by the president, and that he wants to get in touch with the troops to find out what’s going on on the ground, but Boyce fires back, reminding him that if Bush really wanted to get things done in Iraq he’d stay for more than six hours, he’d visit more than three times in four years and he wouldn’t have ignored the Iraq Study Group’s recommendations.

TheDaily Muck - Bushs Only the ones i like benchmarks

So how does the administration get past the two reports and seed the bed for Petraeus and Crocker's testimony? Introduce the concept of "mini-benchmarks" -- statistics that support the administration.

TPM - The Full Bamboozle

Are military deaths up or down? Are Iraqi civilian deaths up or down?

'Success' and 'failure' are quite subjective and they may be judged on various criteria. But these numbers, even if they don't tell the whole story, are concrete and readily ascertainable -- at least in the case of military deaths.
