We’re waiting for our call.
“Blogs sometimes include information — accurate and otherwise — about the U.S. military’s global war on terror. U.S. Central Command officials here took notice and created a team to engage these writers and their electronic information forums.”

That’s correct. His name is mighty aphrodite.

March 2nd, 2006 at 5:31 pmI wouldn’t hold your breath or anything…
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:35 pmI’m just saying…
The bubble-boy administration isn’t likely
to be interested in anything but repeated
propaganda.
Bring em’ on!!!

March 2nd, 2006 at 5:36 pmMakes ya proud doesn’t it to be helping train the troops. Too bad they can’t drink or smoke weed while they blog.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:41 pmThat Centcom site has some really great pictures of press briefings. Don Rumsfield making hand gestures that just cry out for “Unauthorized Captions”.
I doubt that they would ever suspect their photos could be used for a good laugh.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:43 pmPropaganda comes to blogs. Make sure you get some cash.
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:43 pmHave they ever precipitated a conversation that created a situation that might possibly have needed a FISA warrant?
March 2nd, 2006 at 5:46 pmIsn’t proproganda against US citizens illegal??
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:02 pmBy the US that is…
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:03 pmI can hear it now, ‘bloggs are supporting terrrrusts’…shut them all down, except the rightwing ones, that is.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:18 pmI would be careful Judd. The word engage in military terminology means “attack.”
As in “We engaged the enemy in the desert.”
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:18 pmSpudge Boy: Funny you should mention that… “Engage” is actually the Centcom blog team’s motto.
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:29 pmReally! I’m not making that up!
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:29 pmYou know the reason President Bush was in India?
He was visiting American jobs…
March 2nd, 2006 at 7:03 pm>>>…and there was a loud outcry that befell the land: “We demand more, yes, more propaganda, right-wing spin, lying and decpetion from our officials.”
March 2nd, 2006 at 7:10 pmAnd it came to be!
Add another one to the list of “liberal media.”
Hold on…holdon-it’s the phone…
“Oh, hi Oxycotin Rush! It’s okay?
Did you check with the Felafall? COOL!”
Relax…it’s okay gang, Centcom’s on our side!
Does anyone else feel like it
March 2nd, 2006 at 7:20 pmis 1934, say Germany?
YOU ARE MISINFORMED, INTERNET BUDDY.
WHY DON’T YOU “SURF” ON OVER CENTCOM’S “BLOG” TO LEARN THE UNVARNISHED TRUTH.
END OF TRANSMISSION.
March 2nd, 2006 at 7:33 pmIt’s not like they are going to install tracking cookies and possibly spy on us, right?
March 2nd, 2006 at 7:39 pmLet’s see 21 million blogs, about 500,000 people in the army, somebody’s working overtime………
March 2nd, 2006 at 7:40 pmAdmiral John Poindexters wettest dream floods his basement enclave.
March 2nd, 2006 at 7:53 pmI remember when Orwellian was a rarely used adjective reserved for judicious hyperbole. Now Orwell’s dystopian novel seems less prescient and more like a neocon training manual.
This comaraderie from CENTCOM is like getting a call from the IRS to see if you need any help doing your taxes. Sounds like the definition of intimidation.
March 2nd, 2006 at 8:04 pmActually it smacks of Rummy, but he puts it out through the uniformed military, sort of like his disinformation regime in Iraq.
March 2nd, 2006 at 8:17 pmthis is my favorite quote:
The public wants to hear these good stories,” he said, adding that the news stories the military generates are “very factual.”
“very factual” – does that mean three or four nuggets of truthiness per story?
March 2nd, 2006 at 9:52 pmAll your base are belong to us.
-The Pentagon and your old pal John Poindexter
March 2nd, 2006 at 10:53 pmGehring would be proud.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:22 pmThe begining of the war on the internets.Think their incopmetence will carry over?
March 3rd, 2006 at 5:44 amDear Insurgents in Iraq :
BCC :US Command headquarters

How to do this
1/ you need to Have a doctor on standy
2/ Strap recipient to a swiveling Table
3/ Place clingfilm over their head
4/ Place 90 degrees upside down in bath of water
5/ Although no water enteres lungs they get to grips with the fact they think their drowning
6/ when recipient passes unconcious
7/ revive and ask some questions
8/ If you get no answers repeat process
9/ repeat process until they admit to anything
10/ do not worry if they die

March 3rd, 2006 at 7:28 amThe ba%%%trds are damn stupid if they think they can mindbend Progressives Minds. Information Clearing House also had the article about rummy putting bloggers on Progressive’s Blogs in order to clear up misconceptions .
Hey runny explain how the Invasion of Iraq topic changed everytime you neocons lost.
1. We’re going to go after terrorists on that “Wanted Poster”
2. Saddam is really Bin Laden he ordered (Saddam) the attack on the Americans.
3. We’re going to go after the Axis of Evil Doers (bush and neocons still in office)
4. We’re going to spread Demoracy
rummygoat you azzes of evil are to be impeached and send to 9×12 rooms with a metal grid in your face.
Its about controlling the Oil supply from all oil rich countries and you people will use any means to do just that.
Big American Oil just met with Cuban Oil people in Mexico The Cubans were kicked out of a Us Controlled Hotel but the Mexican Gov. closed to the hotel. bush and big oil are working over time to upset Fidel’s gov so they can take over that spot of Oil .
Its about World Wide Control Of OIl/Natural Gas and nOt about Demoracy and BTW when does America clear up that broom closet of Torture and Greed?
Screw all of you Neo Cons! I want my country back on track of NOn Greed Non Control Issues and Taking care of her people First!
March 3rd, 2006 at 7:30 amNow (online readers) have the opportunity to read positive stories. At least the public can go there and see the whole story. The public wants to hear these good stories,” he said, adding that the news stories the military generates are “very factual.
——————————–
Oh Boy Oh Damn I want to hear candy food thats sweet to my control part of my brain I can’t wait …..
Very Factual like… “Mission Acomplished” in a sense it was it was about taking over one of the Richest Oil producing Countries in the world at any cost to that country and this Country.
Bag-dhad Rummy/bushcons its a sweet world everyone read the postives its a sweet world over thousands of people we murder for OIl its a sweet world .Reminds me of Progranda Fasicm >>>.
March 3rd, 2006 at 7:39 amINTERNET BUDDY, YOU MISPERCEIVE THE SITUATION!

Must go to Centcom… Compelled to go….. Must kill the queen…
March 3rd, 2006 at 8:27 amYes they are monitoring the blogoshpere. I posted a link here a few weeks ago on the fuel capacities of US Navy ships . It is now a dead link. I am surprised at how much information there is about the Pentagon on the internet. Nothing is secret anymore.
The US lost the war in Iraq the day they invaded.
March 3rd, 2006 at 9:02 amLots of links that will be posted will end up with dead ends. Its about CensorShip ,they should’ve called it Censorship.ORG.. I totally and wholeheartly hate this Neo Cons profiteering Adminstration. The only thing is some of us have a trillion ways to get the Real Info.
March 3rd, 2006 at 12:21 pm“Now (online readers) have the opportunity to read positive stories. (…) The public wants to hear these good stories,” he said, adding that the news stories the military generates are “very factual.”
More bogus “positive stories” like the supposed “good news” out of Iraq.
In the old days, these were simply called “propaganda”, and it’s the kind of stories the blind followers crave.
March 3rd, 2006 at 6:14 pmI don’t think their interest is in sites which they cannot “correct”…
March 3rd, 2006 at 7:20 pmHi:
If you do visit our webpage (http://www.centcom.mil), I hope it proves to be informative. We’ve been adding content over the past few months, like audio and video, in an effort to make it as comprehensive as possible.
There were some posts above regarding dead links. Were those stories on the CENTCOM website, or elsewhere? We do try to keep content archived on our site, although some sections (like the Coalition country pages) are naturally changed over time to reflect current news from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
