http://www.mikemalloy.com/2009/04/06/we-are-the-dead/



Twenty years ago, President George H. W. Bush’s administration imposed a ban on media coverage of the return home of the remains of soldiers killed in combat, including those killed during the first attack against Iraq - ordered by him - in 1991.

That ban came about after a controversy arose when Bush held a news conference at the same moment the first U.S. casualties were returning to Dover AFB, Delaware, the day after the beginning of yet another Bush killing spree, the U.S. invasion of Panama in 1989. While Bush joked and cackled post-conference, the split screen coverage of the returning dead soldiers showed the solemn ceremony unfolding at the air base.

However, Bush’s complete disdain and contempt for the military and his total lack of concern for the grieving families came through clearly and indelibly. (He had ordered the invasion to silence Panama’s dictator Manuel Noriega from revealing the CIA/cocaine route through his country, a route known to Bush and established with his okay during the Iran /Contra crimes of the mid-80s.)

When a decade after the first order, GHW Bush’s half-witted son was declared president by the Supreme Court, the banning order was continued. It was invaluable in hiding from the American public the horrific evidence of the results of the war crimes then committed by the second Bush Crime Family and its cohorts as they invaded Afghanistan and Iraq yet again, and occupied both.

Now, that ban has been lifted and today those solemn images are again seen by the nation that allowed its soldiers to be sent to die for one power-crazed family’s hubris and insanity. As former CNN correspondent Ralph Begleiter writes today at CNN’s website:

“The Pentagon policy, which had come into being over the embarrassment of a president, evolved after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, into a complete ban preventing the American people from seeing the most important single measure of the cost of war.

“So desperate, apparently, was the White House desire to block public view of such images that military photographers at Dover were ordered to stop documenting the returns. To my knowledge, since 2005, no further photos have been taken showing those emotional moments when a casualty touches home soil for the last time.”

The order to ban the images was one saturated with ulterior motives. If the public was not allowed to see the painful images of returning dead soldiers, it would be that much easier to continue the lies and deceptions that started the killing to begin with.

Both Bushes have been peacefully removed from power as mandated by what remains of our shredded Constitution. Yet, the deaths that resulted from their criminal decisions continue. The solemn ceremonies, however, are now once again open for the public to see. Unless, of course, we turn our faces away in shame.

so I don't have to deal with NCAA basketball too much.

56. We're great, ralps. But kind of reflective right now.
Spent yesterday with a friend whose husband is in the AF reserve in Afghanistan. We had a lovely lunch and were reassuring her that everything was fine and he'd be home soon since he's pretty much on base all the time. So Mr. pig and I were watching the news tonight, and the first serviceperson in 18 years to be shown returning home in a casket is an Airman, killed by a bomb. The tenderness and respect the honor guard showed was truly moving. The thought that that creepy * family treated those who made the ultimate sacrifice like objects of shame makes me livid. Mr. pig even more so - he's a veteran himself.

Mike spoke for me today.

Big hugs to you and Crook!:hug::hug::hug:

41. Panicked, Sweat-Covered Pope Reverses Longstanding Ban On Abortion
VATICAN CITY — Overturning 2,000 years of religious doctrine, an out-of-breath and visibly flustered Pope Benedict XVI announced Sunday that the termination of unwanted pregnancies was now "completely and perfectly acceptable in the eyes of God." <snip>

"My friends in Christ, brothers and sisters of the cloth, having an abortion is...err...not that big a deal," announced the anxious pontiff while reading from a series of hastily scrawled edicts. "In fact, it is written, uh, somewhere, that the taking of an innocent life might even be something of a blessing in some cases." <snip>

Other important factors outlined by Benedict included length of pregnancy, the possibility of health complications, and whether or not two people just met one crazy night, got a little carried away, and made the biggest mistake of both their lives. <snip>

In addition, His Holiness asserted that he might have been wrong about the dangers of self-gratification. Shaking his head in grave disappointment, Benedict said he could now see how the lustful act might prevent some people from running out in the middle of the night, jumping inside of a glass-encased vehicle, and speeding to the nearest bar. <snip>

76. He's supposed to be upstairs doing homework! Charlie was here
this weekend and we all went to visit my MIL Fri. night. He and Lucas rode over there together, and the three of them rode home together - brother time!

She'll be going home, but I promised her 2 of her favorite soups, and some cheddar cheese biscuits, and I'll be cooking for us and them for a few days. FIL needs to take care of himself and her without having to worry about food. FIL is 85. :hug:

94. I try!
Edited on Mon Apr-06-09 09:36 PM by tnlefty
One of the boys requested them during the Feb birthday dinners, and she loved them. I think she had four, and whatever it takes to get her strength up and to get her back on her feet, I'll try to do my part.

She was diagnosed with breast cancer before Mr. lefty and I met. She'd been through the rough chemo (back in those days it was really nasty) in our early dating phase. I made dinner one night and we took it over to their house and decorated the Christmas tree for them because she was lamenting that she didn't have the strength to do it. She had a 15% chance to survive for 5 years, and more than 20 yrs. later, she's still kicking. She's had recurrences (one reason that her second hip is just now being done), a triple by-pass...she's a tough one for sure.

60. Hey Liberal_Dog!!
I know what you're talkin' about. It's chilly here and it's supposed to be down to 24 Wed. morning. I may take pictures of the hosta, etc., that has already come up, leafed out, but will look like crap when it gets frozen. :hi: :hug: :fistbump: I have strawberry plants that are making berries (hello plants, it isn't June yet) and they'll be hurt along with the blueberry bush. :thumbsdown:

Thanks to the NJ Catz!

We're sending hugs and ear scratches back.

How's Ms. Edie? How's Ms. Freddie?

I want a cat by cat analysis/update.

74. Edie and Freddie are both doing well.
Freddie's starting to blend in, she still growls but she doesn't seem as freaked as she used to. Edie might be the cutest thing on the planet. I have to fight to keep from squeezing the stuffing out of her.

86. Edie's a pampered princess! Edie's a pampered princess!
Dexter has to be the smartest cat I've had in 30 years - but he's also the most mischievious little booger. He is able to sit and connive (scientists were so proud when that chimp did it, but I've got news for them ... ). We put a baby-gate in front of Beloved Daughter's door, and he figured out how to lean on the handle, and open the door to the room next door, leading to Beloved Daughter's room. So, we put something against that door. Then, he figured out how to get into Sugar's room (our mouse's room). He's a irresistible little devil! You just got to give him hugs and kisses; but, we should have named him Loki (the god of mischief). Coco is his partner-in-crime (she's able to leave the crime scene way before he can). They enjoy knocking plastic containers onto the floor; it makes a nice boom!

:)

P.S. Maybe Freddie's just never going to be our little Mary Sunshine. HeeHee.

90. If Dexter and Edie ever joined forces, they could cause a lot of havoc!
:rofl:

I'm not concerned about Freddie being Mary Sunshine, I just don't want her to be a crazy recluse. Mr. smokey told me she fell asleep on him today while I was out walking pooches. Alice and Freddie have both taken more to Mr. smokey. I think they associate me with the other kitties.

93. I'm sure that Edie and Dexter getting together would be a scary thing for the world indeed!
:rofl:

Oh, Freddie will lighten up with time. We've got to give her a few months.

Things will even up with time.

I'm so glad there are people like you and Mr. Smokey to take care of these furries.

I have faith that all will be well in a few months.

watching a documentary and I heard, " and it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for, don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is Viet Nam." That is now stuck in my head.
