1. And today: THE POSTERS

[seabeyond]

2. and what we know a year later about bush

how much they enjoy the staging of stuff.

a stuff turkey
the flight suit
all speeches
his homestead, (pig farm)
being a good ole boy (one of us)
trip on thanksgiving, some to do in air with british airline
jesicca lynch, that was a sick one

what else

[central scrutinizer]

17. I know it's hard to keep track of them all, but ...

the "made in china" stickers that were covered with duct tape

the framed photos with * in front of Mt. Rushmore, or with a halo of light

the rally in Indiana where they asked the men to take off ties and don work shirts to make the audience look more diverse and then colorized some of the faces to make it look multi-ethnic

the NASCAR stunt

[seabeyond]

22. yup, and the riot in florida in a courthouse

someone asked in another thread is the world spinning out of control

and another thread pleading we all call senate and rep on good friday to let children and women out of fllujah

let me off this train ride

[boobooday]

3. A joyous day of liberation?

Or then again, maybe NOT.

4. Ooops here are the images you are SUPPOSED to remember

definitely not this darn that keeps happening

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

5. You'd better watch out

The thought police are coming for you!!!

11. holy christ!

I know that it was staged, but I didn't realized it was staged THAT much. I wonder how much they paid each of the Iraqis to stomp on the fallen statue? And was this done by Haliburton's PR division or was it contract out in a no-bid award to some other big donor?

14. Check out the Chalabi connection here

I don't know how accurate this is but check out the photo and story of the Chalabi militia guy.

Thanks for the reminder and the perspective!

7. We Need The Pic Rummy Didn't Want The World To See...

Of that Marine wiping Saddam's face with the American flag. The call came quick to stop that!

Wasn't that also the Marine who showed up at several other staged photo ops...saw a string about that here recently.

I remember watching on a webcam (my favorite atop the Info ministry was blown up a couple days earlier) and it was so obvious it was being staged...and our media was assisting.

9. Here-Supposedly the flag came from the Pentagon on 9/11

They spread that story almost immediately.

[fryguy]

13. surprisingly good shape

for a flag that supposedly was in the pentagon when it was attacked

15. THIS guy is EVERYWHERE

[Cocoa]

16. I remember that proved all the antiwar people wrong

I remember all the gloating over that stupid staged meaningless non-event.

Liberation tastes like crow to antiwar crowd

[indie_voter]

18. I never read that editorial before

"It's hard to admit you were flat wrong"

Indeed.

19. Kathleen Parker...I never even heard of her

maybe if SHE(my emphasis) worked for the NYT, I would know who she is.

[underpants]

20. She is literally a cog in the right wing machinery

She seldom has anything to actually say. It's not that she just spews the same thing as the rest she literally has nothing to say.

Our rightwing rag regularly (Richmond Times-Dispatch) publishes her "pieces" on the Op-Ed page and after reading one of her columns you realize that those few minutes of your life were wasted and you will never get them back.

She has ZERO to say.
