Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] [POLITICS] War timeline

["Vern Green" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Its always interesting to go back to the beginning of a thread.

Subject: War Timeline

I see nothing here that says this was only a Bush war timeline, Mike's
subject reads that it is a timeline of the Iraq war. Misleading?
Certainly it is.

Hmm nothing here about it being about just the lies of the Bush
administration, someone reading this might have gotten the idea this
was a timeline of the Iraq war. Which it most certainly is not.

The only hint that this was simply an indictment of the Bush
administration was when you actually go to the site. The headline on
the page reads:

Lie by Lie: Chronicle of a War Foretold: August 1990 to March 2003

OK that says nothing about ONLY the lies of the Bush administration,
in fact, if you did not see the splash screen of the flash element,
you would not even know going in that this was only about Bush.
Misleading, yes, biased, certainly, but do I dare consider the
possibility that by not making it clear up from that it is an
indictment of Bush, that there is a deliberate attempt to cover up
this bias?

It seems that only when truly exposed that the defensive mechanisms
fire up and the attempt to limit it to Bush is applied.
