BREAKING FOX: Saddam Hussein STILL Captured |
|
Edited on Tue Dec-16-03 09:10 AM by underpants
Oh man has the right got wood and coming on hard. As I was doing chores around the house yesterday afternoon for some reason I had Fox on in the back ground and I am surprised they didn't cut themselves on the party hats they were wearing whilest trying to pat themselves on the back. These are just some snippets and may be taken out of context as per the Fox model.
Personally I am glad that the capture took place. Until yesterday morning when word of the magic briefcase of documents surfaced (I must have missed that detail in Sunday's limited coverage) I didn't think it had any real effect on the situation aside from signalling the sure end of his reign of brutality.
Britt Hume and some chinless reporter were beside themselves in they disbelief about Howard Dean's statement that the capture did not change his position on the war. How could he not just come out and praise the great George W. Bush for being asleep while the mission was carried out? How could he not turn 180 degrees from his campaign and excuse himself from public debate? Incredible was the word used quite often.
Later I entered the "No Spin Zone". I missed the Newt Gingrich segment but I caught fair and balanced discussion of leaks provided by the ever reputable David Kay and his inspection team to Mike Miniter. Miniter apparently is an author of a book the subtitle of which is "How Clinton's failures created global terror" so I settled in for a spinfree few minutes. Mr.Miniter, appearing slightly more lucid than Saddam did in his last TV appearance, discussed what Mr.Kay had told him in an exclusive 90 minute conversation that Mr.Miniter was luckily enough to get. Seems that there has been the discovery of quite a few weapons programs just like W told us all along. These included:
missiles with special cannisters specifically made to deliver sarin gas Chinese missiles with a range of 100+ miles payments to the North Koreans for missiles that were never delivered.
Oh yeah and $35 Million of the $40 Million in Iraqi debt to FRANCE was for weapons that were apparently sold despite the sancitons. These sanctions of course did not apply to selling oil processing equipment to the IRaqis so they could have more money to BUY arms by European subsidiaries of a certan VP's former company.
O'Reilly brought him back down from his euphoria by mentioning this super memo that has been found detailing links between Muhammed Atta-Saddam-Abu Nidal-and for extra spice "deliveries from Niger". O'Reilly mentioned that this memo had not yet been authenticated but he just wanted to let his viewers be aware of it.
Sen.Kerry was on next and he withstood O'Reilly telling him what is wrong with his campaign, the Dems in general, and the results of primaries that haven't happened.
Then I entered a "No SPin Zone" discussion of possible media bias of the capture. I was pleasantly surprised to not see the Media Resource Center represented but instead a much more down the middle organization.....Newsmax. Mr.Limbacher was incredulous to the fact that Peter Jennings, Katie Couric, and Dan Rather (you knew that was coming) were not openly cheerleading and whooping it up in glorious celebration of the greatness and annointment of George W. Bush. "Why so much immediate analysis? We will be doing that for weeks and months to come why couldn't they celebrate this fantastic event?" Limbacher sort of said. To give O'Reilly some credit he countered must of these crazy allegations mostly by defending his fellow journalists....er....journalists.
I could go on and on but the message is clear. They are hammering this into the American psyche and will continue to no matter what is actually going on in Iraq.

5. CBS nightly news Sunday night was great |
|
The Saddam story had been on the air all day but still CBS evening news led with that item.
Their emphasis was on how measured the White House reaction was to Saddam's capture. CBS talked about how the White House didn't want to get caught going overboard turning it into a P.R. event like they did with the carrier landing.
While the voice is saying that, CBS is running video of Bush in a business suit at the podium on the deck of the carrier and the camera pulls back and pans over to the "Mission Accomplished" banner.
Absolutely priceless.

7. Really? and Welcome to DU |

:hi:
Well you knew they were going to go after Rather. That name creates only slightly less donations to the RNC that "Ted Kennedy" does.
I watch ABC myself.
Limbacher was citing the first things that Rather said when he came on the air Sunday morning. It was something to the effect of ~"we know what has happened but what does it mean?"
Perish the thought that we should...well....think.

9. I'm suspecting more and more that the capture... |
|
...didn't happen quite the way they're saying. Given the WH's penchant for theatrics and propaganda, I'm suspecting another "embellishment" of the facts surrounding his capture. Think Lynch "rescue," think "paid" crowds at the statue toppling...
I defy anyone to tell me how Saddam's capture changes anything. Obviously, the stock market was unimpressed by it...

10. When did this briefcase story pop up? |
|
I watched the running news reel on Sunday during commercials in the football games but I didn't hear aobut this until yesterday morning. NPR reported this morning that the brass in Iraq has already used documents (24 hours and now it's not just a briefcase anymore) to conduct two raids. That's great but when did this magic briefcase pop up?

4th Infantry Division, based in Texas, was responsible for the capture of the former Iraqi leader.

This morning the blonde chick on their morning show said something about (during first cup of coffee) about how the FRENCH were OBVIOUSLY scared that documents will show how in bed they were with Saddam. Something like that.

20. I think the BFEE can take a lesson from Reno911 |

They should turn Saddam loose, and then make more headlines by catching him again.

I couldn't hear what they are saying but I am sure it has to do with the super memo they found that was basically a giftbag of justicfications.
