entrapment by design

If I did not have a media background, I would not understand the power of "the spin." But I do, and timing is always everything.
So, (and I may come off as being a bit too emotional in the poem that follows, for some) if the media is going to fabricate, they need to learn to get their stories straight.
Today is 10/25/04. The media tells us that after Iraq has been obliterated, that there are NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. Then, TODAY, on 10/25/04, the media releases a story (Dateline, Vienna Austria, 10/10/04) says this (for those who choose to act on fear and believe it):
"Several hundred tons of conventional explosives are missing from a former Iraqi military facility that once played a key role in Saddam Hussein's efforts to build a nuclear bomb, the U.N. nuclear agency confirmed Monday."
Now hold on y'all: I thought President Bush said, "we made a miscalculation."
So, somebody explain (and I'll listen) as to why is it, that just EIGHT DAYS prior to the election, with all the electoral nonsense going on in Ohio and Florida (and if Iowa had a decent sized minority population, dishonest people who call themselves conservatives would be cuttin' up in that state as well) we find out that somebody "looted" some weapons right out from under the noses of those we are sending over there to risk their lives for Halliburton? We as a nation should not allow the word "freedom" to be used as a disguise for what this administration has meant to do for a number of years. We should all be writing editorials to our local newspapers, calling in on radio talk shows, speaking out in our book clubs. But the topic should not be politics. The topic should not be political affiliation or name-calling of "I'm a right-wing this or you're a left-wing that."
We need to stop buying newspapers. That'll shut 'em up.
So whether words in print or broadcast, or bombs defined as WMD's or conventional explosives; a weapon is a weapon is a weapon.
And they all are designed to kill or bring about change. Kinda like marriage. . . for better or worse.
God love y'all,

Yep-they made it sound like the weapons that are missing (the USA's fault for not guarding them!) were integral to the building of nuclear weapons during the gw bush administration.
The truth, of course, is that this was a known cache, ignored by our occupation forces, and that it has nothing to do with nukes. Iraq's nuke program was effectively shut down years ago. The UN had plans to make sure it stayed that way.
Honesty in the media? HAHAHAHA. (NOT funny.) Misleading the sheep,
"entrap those gape-mouth'd slaves "
Very much to the point.
an excellent, thought provoking rant. what to do? pray like hell and vote!
(((HUGS))) and love, karla.
