Better yet, shut the damn thing off!!!!
"Five-year retrospective puts Iraq in perspective"
"by Sam Allis, Globe Staff | March 24, 2008
"
Its coverage of the buildup to the war and events on the ground has been massive, routinely excellent, repetitive, and at times excessive.
When?
Some of it came at the expense of worthy domestic coverage. During the 2004 presidential campaign, for example, "Frontline" gave us multiple programs on Iraq but only one measly look at the two candidates, a month before the November vote.
Yeah, bullshit politics is more important than a MASS-MURDERING OCCUPATION that the SHIT MEDIA here LIED US INTO!!!
Yet on the fifth anniversary of the start of the war, "Frontline" 's bet looks awfully good. Tonight and tomorrow night, it airs Mike Kirk's superb "Bush's War," which will surely be the definitive televised piece on Iraq. If you're only going to watch one program about Iraq, to traffic in cliche, this is it.
Yeah, and NEVER MIND those BLOGS that DIDN'T LIE to you and GOT IT RIGHT!!!!
Watch a LYING MSM PRESS tell you what happened!
Now I see what "Frontline's" purpose is: to PRESENT the CONVENTIONAL MYTH of the war!!!!
Kirk, who produced, wrote, and directed this leviathan effort, along with the likes of ace correspondent Martin Smith, has been a bulldog on "Frontline" 's Iraq and Afghanistan coverage from the start. Here, he has woven pieces from more than 40 programs "Frontline" has done on the war on terrorism, along with some new reporting, into an extraordinarily rich and informed narrative.
The result tracks like a novel. While we all know what has happened over there, this show ripples with tension and suspense.
Really?
American's know what happened over there and don't really need to be told anything else, huh?
Fucking LYING MEDIA!!!!
Please see: Occupation Iraq: Americans No Longer Care
Yeah, stoo-pid, stinkshit 'murka knows all about the war!
Thanks, shitter press!!!!!
"Iraq accounted for 18 percent of their prominent news coverage in the first nine months of 2007, but only 9 percent in the following three months, and 3 percent so far this year."
"Bush's War" is far greater than the sum of its parts, and it is told in clear, linear fashion accessible to viewers.
That's cause you stoo-pid, 'murkn shit-eater!!!
Gotta keep things linear for ya, even though we all know what happened!!
The case to watch it all again for the first time is overwhelming.
So kudos to Kirk and also Steve Audette, who edited this monster, because editing is the vehicle that propels this show to success.
What strikes you immediately about "Bush's War" is its pacing. It's crisp and fast, and there's little fat in its 4 1/2 hours. It had to be nimble to avoid being smothered under the mountain of available material.
Really? Where, the Internet?
Certainly isn't from the MSM!!!!
We move briskly from interviews to war footage, from one camp within the Bush administration to another in the brutal intramural battle for policy supremacy.
Yup, the expose devolves into BULLSHIT POLITICS!
So this is the SHIT STORY Frontline is going to sell, 'eh?
Kirk has also amassed on air the most authoritative group on the war and its buildup imaginable: top Bush administration officials, top military brass and intelligence officials, diplomats, and heavyweight journalists.
Yup, NO ANTIWAR VOICES THOUGH!!
Yup, all MSM and OFFICIAL SOURCES!!
Think one of the heavyweight media types will be Judith Miller?
Together, they invest the show with informed atmospherics and insider accounts of who did what to whom when.
You know, I've had it with the BULLSHIT INSIDE BASEBALL of POLITICS!!!!
As if the antiwar folks in this country weren't SPIT ON and SHAT ON FIVE YEARS AGO!!!
As if there was DISSENT in Bush's administration and lead-up to invasion!
Pffffffttt!
This DEFINITIVE WAR EXPOSE is nothing but a big, steaming, stinking pile of symmetrically-wound HORSESHIT!!!!!!!
Don't waste your time tonight, readers.
I'm not; I'm going to play basketball instead!
We grasp as never before the chaos and depth of the bloodletting within the Bush administration.
Why wasn't this reported at the time?
But, no, there was Colin Powell testifying about incontrovertible and ironclad the case against Saddam was!
We appreciate more than ever just how badly then-Secretary of State Colin Powell and then-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice were rolled by the neo-cons, led by Vice President Dick Cheney and then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who had become a formidable inside team over 30 years in D.C.
Yup, it was all Cheney and Rumsfeld's fault!!!
Talk about REVISIONIST HISTORY, this is GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!
We also watch the Cheney-Rumsfeld juggernaut humiliate the CIA and its director, George Tenet, who resigned after trading his integrity for Oval Office access.
Yeah, they put a gun to his head and told him to say "slam dunk!"
Since this reviewer is crowing so much about this piece of garbage, I don't think I'll be watchin' tonight!
We are stunned once more at the utter lack of planning for the rebuilding of Iraq after the hot war ended.
Well, I WON'T BE! I knew that two weeks after "mission accomplished!"
And note the deceptive terminology.
This thing is anything but an OCCUPATION according to the shit AmerIkan MSM!!!!!
Always a WAR!
At the announcement of Paul Bremer, Bush envoy to oversee the country's reconstruction, to collapse the Iraqi army without first informing Washington.
Old names and terms resurface: yellow cake, extraordinary rendition, Mission Accomplished, Mahdi army, Fallujah, Valerie Plame, surge. "Is this all we've got?" from Bush. "Slam dunk" from Tenet. "Freedom is messy" from Rumsfeld. "The last throes of the insurgency" from Cheney.
Sound bites!
We see once again the reptilian Ahmed Chalabi and the fake WMD info he fed Cheney et al., who wrapped intelligence around policy with disastrous results. Chalabi resembled nothing so much as a Russian spy dispensing disinformation during the Cold War.
Or Israeli spies and their MSM mouthpieces dispensing lies now!!!!
And who can forget those ghastly, grainy cellphone photos of Saddam's execution by Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's henchmen?
At the end of "Bush's War," you will know once and for all how this war was created, by whom, when and what went wrong, how, by whom and when. It's all here."
That's funny.
The reviewer said nothing about AIPAC, a "Clean Break" or the Project for the New American Century!
Yeah, but tonight Frontline and AmeriKa's corporate media will reveal all the secrets of the Iraq invasion!!!
Pffffffffffttttt!!!!
