Look, there's a lot of crap that goes on when a soldier, sailor, airman, or marine dies in the line of duty, whether it was jumping on a live grenade or just taking a dump in the latrine. Were Lynch and Tillman exploited for propaganda purposes? Most definitely..it's a time honored tradition that goes back to at least WW2. Honesty in War is an oxymoron. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
kuzadd Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The last soldier to see Army Ranger Pat Tillman alive, Spc. Bryan O'Neal, told lawmakers that he was warned by superiors not to divulge -- especially to the Tillman family -- that a fellow soldier killed Tillman...link too bad it took main stream media so many years to catch up. Tillman/ Lynch, have been BS ops from the get go. Quote Insults are the ammunition of the unintelligent - do not use them. It is okay to criticize a policy, decision, action or comment.

Prepare for the dancing reply. FYI: on my reading I don't notice that Guthrie said Pat tillman died in iraq, how could you read that? Unless you wanted to?

sharkman Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 In post one, newbie introduced the topic and tillman's death. In post 2 Guthrie commented on how bad things were in Iraq, which showed he thought it happened in Iraq. He later accused us of being nit picking buffoons, which is as close to an admission as you're going to get. Quote

He often makes up stuff, and even oftener makes hugely grand pronouncements about things that turn out to be the rantings of a simpleton. But my favorite is when he is confronted by a truth that he knows is a truth, but it's not the truth he likes, so he simply announces "that's a lie". Quote

Since I can't read your mind, I don't know for sure if what I'm assuming in this matter is true. Therefore I'm not lying, I'm saying what I think. Quote

Too many posters did not read what was there, and read what they wanted/thought to be there. Quote Insults are the ammunition of the unintelligent - do not use them.

buffycat Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 To be honest, I don't quite see where Guthrie got confused. Iraq and Afghanistan are intricately tied - both using 911 as an excuse to invade otherwise soveriegn countries. 911 was the total excuse to invade Afghanistan, due to the evil Osama rumoured to be lurking there in caves! 911 was also an excuse used to invade Iraq - well uh just cuz - since there was NO connection whatsoever to 911 wrt to Iraq. But the Neocons (Or should I say NeoLibs - take your pick) wanted to oust Saddam anyway - a puppet who had outlived his usefulness, and a puppet that knew too much. Wrt Tillman and Lynch - it is very clear that their deaths were used for propoganda purposes - no matter which side of the 'proverbial fence' one sits. Sure it happens... but should we - as apparantly enlightened folks allow that? I personally think not. Quote "An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind" ~ Ghandi

However, if someone said "Bushs' home state must be proud of him", and I were to pipe up with "Yeah, Alaska must be proud of him", would you make the same allowances for me and claim that I really meant that ALL of America was proud of him? It's unfortunate that some people can't admit it when they make a mistake. Not to point fingers or anything, but perhaps some people make so many mistakes that if admissions accompanied every single one, it would be one large series of statements and admissions? Perhaps that's the reason other people want to help pull one's irons out of the fire too. Quote
