HEARINGS ON THE "SURGE" IN DC TODAY......on MSNBC......
McCain and Hillary asked questions in the AM. Obama will be asking questions this afternoon. Petreus and Crocker are testifying to reassure us that IT is working ( cough .....gag....) Once again the NUMBERS of dead and wounded Iraqis is not being even whispered......Petraeus calls it a "Security Situation Improved" ( really.....gee if we measure the Blood loss and devastation and troops worn to the bone....I guess it is all a matter of HOW we define " Improvement"......and again the "Civil War" issue is being painted with the Extremist Al Quaeda Brush....."Sectarian" Violence painted pretty with creative graphs ... Personally I think PHOTOS would better show this FUBAR for what it really is....There were no graphs measuring the Corruption, and Tribal Mess that we have contributed to.... )
Watch if you want to see HOW the Three Candidates deal with Propaganda, The Spin Machine, and the Role of Commander in Chief..... Accountability can be measured in Kickass Questions or Polite Pandering or Flowery Compliments ....The Person who rocked it was actually Biden, he also had the brass balls to use the Propaganda Word Three Times in His "Welcome"........It is 3:40 PM I have not seen Obama's Questions yet...The Spin Machine is still in full throttle....IF you were There...What would you want ASKED? Or what would you want the Poobah' s Confronted with?
MY RUDE THOUGHTS:
Meanwhile Bush was giving a little awards ceremony ......which kept cutting into the Hearings....More Bad Coincidental Timing...Personally I think Bush should be there listening to the Hearings... he should be there sitting on a bed of nails....and forced to sit with families...and I think the Families should be allowed to Ask The Questions....that would make for "better" Hearings....I also think that McConnell should be heard from....But what do I know...I am just a citizen....with a Conscience.
