Bush: "the enemy will try to fill the TV screens with violence"

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/03/20080327-2.html

President Bush Visits Dayton, Ohio, Discusses Global War on Terror
National Museum of the United States Air Force
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base

<snip>

Prime Minister Maliki's bold decision -- and it was a bold decision -- to go after the illegal groups in Basra shows his leadership, and his commitment to enforce the law in an even-handed manner. It also shows the progress the Iraqi security forces have made during the surge. Iraqi forces planned this operation and they deployed substantial extra forces for it. They're leading the operation. Prime Minister Maliki has traveled to Basra to oversee it firsthand.

This offensive builds on the security gains of the surge, and demonstrates to the Iraqi people that their government is committed to protecting them. There's a strong commitment by the central government of Iraq to say that no one is above the law. This operation is going to take some time to complete, and the enemy will try to fill the TV screens with violence. But the ultimate result will be this: Terrorists and extremists in Iraq will know they have no place in a free and democratic society. (Applause.)

2. You Mean, The "Violence" You Created, George?
Yuh... I'm sure those that do highlight your violence are to be considered your enemies. You should try to be more specific.

3. So we're back to the old "TV screens" bs again, eh?
Recycled crap.

I mean, just because you see it on your teevee doesn't mean it is really happening, right?

Kinda like "Survivor".

But "24" is a different story, altogether.

5. Bush: "the enemy will try to fill the TV screens with violence"
Which will be truthful and accurate.

Meanwhile, this admin is not allowing our TV screens to be filled with the caskets of our fallen solders.

Who's manipulating the media, George?
