Oh, got a link to a military document which declares Bush as AWOL?Nick said:
Might take you a while to find....(since the military never declared Bush AWOL, to my knowledge)
And please, not anything written by CBS...
Actually, Haliburton won an auction for those contracts. Nice to see you've been listening to John Edwards.
Oh and, the Bush administration doesn't 'line their pockets' from this.
You seem to be of the opinion that it's better to leave Iraq in ruins.
I think I'm going to stop clicking 'view post', your posts are always filled with widely debunked myths.
OMG IRAQ WAS FOR OIL
CHENEY IS SECRETLY RUNNING HALIBURTON
OMG BUSH AWOL
OMG NO REPUBLICANS EVER SERVE IN THE MILITARY
OMG FAHRENHEIT 911 IS AN OBJECTIVE HONEST DOCUMENTARY

sorry, you're right, history will smile upon the bush administration's actions and his presidency as a high point for democracy, freedom and peace worldwide, as well as for america domesticallyRorix said:

If bush stays on.. the war gets better, he'll be seen as good.
If bush leaves, kerry wins the war he'll be seen as one of the worst presidents either.
If bush leaves, kerry can't win either then bush will still be seen as the one at fault.

Yeah.Not-That-Bright said:
I recalled an opinion on Sky News. I can't recall the US correspondant's name (big guy, kinda balk, big rimmed glasses), but he said that Howard will not have the same relationship with Kerry, as he had with Bush, if Kerry is elected.
Howard has to kiss the butt of another president it will seem.
Also, it was brought to my attention that "Kerry wants its allies to play a more active role in Iraq", i.e. get more Australian soldiers killed for no good reason.
So far, it looks like Bush is going to win.

his profiting from informing people and filling them in on the bullshit that occurs behind the superficial barrier that bush has set up to blind american public

what the fuck?Not-That-Bright said:
the media makes money from advertising, which comes when they have high ratings. since the public is so pro-war, they can't appear in the slightest bit "unamerican." they have to show images of americans fighting, rockets flying into buildings and stuff, but never of dead iraqis or dead americans because this would turn away viewers. how many more people will watch the news now that there is a war on? it's a goldmine.
just look at how they "embedded" reporters. these reporters arent actually reporting anything, they are basically sports commentators of war saying shit like "oh theres a tank right there, and gunshots.."
edit: and regarding fahrenheit 911. if moore actually lied about them don't you think the government would have said something? he presents facts and then draws his own conclusions from them. you don't have to accept his conclusions to accept the facts. when he shows images of dead iraqis and fighting in iraq you might say it is anti-war propaganda but it's pretty fucking important that people realise that this is what is actually going on, not like a video game with the blood and gore turned off.
and of course it is propaganda. but so is the press, you can't escape it

Yes... they make money from advertising, and perhaps more people are watching the news now (i don't really know) but i don't think a single person in the news media has made as much of a gain as micheal moore has off this war...

oh i'm sure he has political intentions,
and after becomming a multi-millionaire u don't really care much about money too much I imagine.
But i'm just pointing out, he's made as much as companies have off this war... does that mean there are bad intentions? no. Maybe if i had cued some sinister music you'd think he was evil too...
edit:

no basis....just biasNick said:
ive watched in in a critical way, i own the VCD ive watched it alot of times from showing my friends it etc....
there are some points made in the documentary that are questionable, but for the most of it, the crucial points and the main issues, moore seems to be telling the truth and exposing bush for the scum he is, of course moore has an agenda, if you held hatred for someone that much you would dig up as much as you can to expose them....dig up means its there, dig up don't mean its made up

The media has its advantages and disadvantages.
Coverage means any massacring of civilians, mistreatment of prisoners, etc is made public, to the enlightenment of the public and to the scrutiny of the military.
Terrorists can switch on their TVs and leach information from the media coverage on US operations, resources, *maybe* tactics, and intentions.
Media makes money.
The media are dishonest, manipulative bastards. Just look at how they bent the "children overboard" incident.
