Beware the Synthetic Survivors

[benburch]

Soon, a soldier will die in Iraq. Nobody will actually know this person, because the person will not be real. Following this Bush will go and meet with the family of this soldier. They will be paid Party operatives, playing the role of the sad but patriotic family who are proud to have their only son die for Das Furher.

Tell me I'm wrong.

1. You're wrong.

Bush won't meet with the family unless the soldier was British.

2. he`s not even going

to do that-its been cancelled...

3. Could this have anything to do with

the astroturfing Josh Marshall was talking about?

5. I doubt it.

This is a prediction only. I don't have information.

Here is my logic;

Bush is being trashed seriously for lack of compassion and not meeting with the families of dead GIs.

He cannot do this because he wouldn't survive a minute without a security bubble around him, and there is no way to be sure that the family members would not humiliate him no matter how carefully vetted they have been.

Lots of people die in a conflict as large as Iraq. Next time a helicopter crashes, and all on board are killed, it would be easy to add some remains to the pile; Perhaps a dead Iraqi. Paperwork appears that says "Cpl. Joshua Plastique of Waco TX" was on the helicopter hitching a ride to his posting.

Mr. and Mrs. Plastique are already living in Waco, and have been for several months. Nobody knows much about them, except that they moved there from "Out East."

The problem with the Jessica Lynch story is that she was a real human being and other real human beings knew the truth about the capture and rescue. It has proven impossible to silence all those who knew the truth in spite of the Bush Cabal's best efforts to do so.

This story has no real humans involved who can tell their stories. The operatives who plant the remains and the paperwork are all totally loyal CIA/Bush Cabal members. The dead man is charred beyond recognition, of course, but his DNA naturally matches the sample in the database. The one that was placed there when the body was selected. And of course he has his dog tags, just in case.

I've learned that if you imagine the most egregious lie that could be told, there is a good chance these goons will tell it.

10. I wouldn't be one bit suprised if this happens

It will just be another stupid photo-op.

4. Not until election season

6. Perhaps...

...but if this *is* by some chance part of their plans, they are laying the groundwork now.

7. You're Wrong

If you can believe they could do that and not be exposed, you'll believe ANYTHING.

8. Like they got exposed in Florida 2000? It is YOU who are wrong!

Enough evidence that a third-year Law Student with a $3,000 budget could have prosecuted...provided it was not members of the Imperial Family.

Just where the hell have you been?

Anthrax letters sent to ONLY Democrats: White House taking Cipro a month before the first anthrax outbreak? (Good guess, eh?)

Felony: treason -- CIA operative outed out of revenge

EPA Inspector General says White House suppressed reports of air-quality over post-9/11 NYC, hundreds of brave rescue workers saddled with respiratory ailments...

(so much more, but why bother)

That argument simply doesn't work in nations without a Free Press. It doesn't work in Commie China, it didn't work in the Old Soviet Union or Marcos' Phillipines.

For the same reason it doesn't apply to Imperial Amerika. I know you want to believe that everything is just as it was during the Days of the Old Republic, but that is not the case.

But it just isn't so.

9. Weigh the net gain of pulling it off, against the calamity of exposure.

See what you come up with. :shrug:
