You plastered those talking points to see what sticks.

Let’s move along and have you elaborate in another current wingnut conspiracy. How GE is to reap enormous profits from its cozy relationship with the Obama administration.
Take it away Billdo.

Now that you’ve derailed this thread by doing your best to use troop deaths for your own personal politics?

Do you really think deep in your heart that by leaving our troops there for years and years, that the additional troop deaths are somehow justified so that all of the other troop deaths aren’t “wasted” as The Dick said?

Shouldn’t we get them out asap so prevent MORE troop deaths? Wouldn’t that be that best way to show respect to them – by trying to prevent their deaths?!

I guess not. But this site had daily war casualty reports leading up to the presidential election. And once the election was over, so was the daily death toll updates.

Right. Once the guy who said he’d start to withdraw from Iraq was elected, as opposed to the guy who wanted to stay there for over 100 years, there was no point in reminding the electorate what the ongoing costs were any more.

And TP is silent on this? WHY?

Well, Bush and Cheney have both said that making a big deal out of troop deaths or other bad news might “embolden the enemy” and that would be a bad thing. We wouldn’t want to play right into Al-Qaeda’s hands by acting like Iraq is any more dangerous than NYC – something other wingnuts have repeatedly claimed. After all, as many wingnuts have told us over and over again, having a “liberal media” reporting bad news from Iraq is a bad thing and makes our troops and baby Jesus cry. Right? Isn’t that what you guys used to say?

But the real reason is that TP is not a comprehensive news source, as has been repeatedly explained to you. It posts only stories that fit in with the agenda of the CAP. This is not a secret, it’s not a conspiracy, it’s right out in the open: the CAP, which runs TP, uses it to do stories that pertain to its progressive political agenda, as is its right.

Since troop deaths in Iraq are not the sort of thing that are appropriate to use for political football, those stories aren’t covered here. I realize that right-wing websites may want to politicize their deaths, but we don’t. The most I have to say on it is – at least we’re on the way out so that doesn’t have to happen any more. If McCain were in office, he’d be putting even more troops into harm’s way just so he could look like a tough guy by proxy.

If a prominent conservative politician says something really stupid about those deaths, you can bet TP will post it, though.

In the meantime, I invite you to go to a host of other informative websites which have complete coverage of national and world events in order to get your news. HuffPo has it on their home page, along with lots of other interesting news items.

But please, please, stop asking why TP doesn’t post items that aren’t relevant to CAP’s agenda. I’ve told you. Now you know. So stop asking.

Of course, we’ve told you this before, but it’s easy to misunderestimate the power of wingnut willful ignorance.

fleabag says:

Your emotional slobbering proves your admission to using troop deaths for political reasons. NEXT!

You disrespectfully bring the subject up with no real concern for the dead troops. Who is using them for political reasons, idiot?

Stating that troops died is not “using their deaths for political reasons.”
““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““`
Apparently to splotchdog it is only when the democrats are in control. Remember during the Bush years showing photos of the caskets of the returning dead U.S. soldiers was forbidden. I guess splotchdog thought that was the right thing to do. See, Cheney learned the lessons from Vietnam. Keep the media coverage at arms length, do not show the death toll or it will sway public opinion to become anti-war.

Thankee! I like to drop a little knowledge now and then…

Though I must admit I haven’t read much Gibran yet. Gonna fix that now.

U.S. operations in Iraq are coming to a close, watchdog. Don’t cry, Halliburton wasn’t hiring anyway.

LMAO

Now go away, and let real adults discuss real issues, with compassion, respect, and INTELLIGENCE!
