    and your post was on topic how?

    As far as private lynch goes, I believe her story and that of the US Army...I also find it funny that this is only coming out now, as the real thing happened years ago...there was even a made for TV movie...why was this not brought out then?

    Hey look Ren and Stimpy tag teaming a thread they want to try and derail.

    The point is that the government has turned itself into a propagandized-media outlet to sell a bill of goods to it's people for what it believes to be in the best interest of the masses. We as a whole are no longer trusted to make our own decisions so a good story is created to give us a nice warm and fuzzy instead of pissing us off. This goes against every principal we hold dear in this country....but oh well.

    Find out how they are doing it, look up on the works of Edward Bernays.

    I just saw her on *drumroll* MSNBC in front of some hearing committee saying this exact same thing.

    I've been flipping between MSNBC and Fox news for an hour and didn't catch anything on this at all on Fox. I did catch a lot of coverage of Alec Baldwin though...

    Why bother people with uncomfortable topics when you can subdue them with entertainment wrapped as something newsworthy?

    You dont even make any sense.

    I really do not care that you accept everything you are told under the guise of being a good American patriot. You don't want to think, you want to let your leader do the thinking for you? Good for you. That is why we put someone like Jessica Lynch on a pedestal when the government tells us to, then tear her down or turn a deaf ear when she trys and set the record straight...right? She must have an agenda.....damn terrorist sympathizer she is....Let see what my government leaders and pundits tell me to think next.....Fox(or CNN) will have it for sure....

    There is a name for you and that is citizen. Loyal and ignorant and happy to stay that way.

    Yeah now they're bringing up the VA shooter again.

    The country is going to hell in a handbasket and all types of political bombs are dropping today and that is what "The Big Story" show on Fox is covering.

    I understand though. They usually save political commentary for later in the evening because they haven't gotten their whitehouse marching orders yet to tell them what the hell to say...

    If it has anything towards the absolute disasterous US led illegal invasion of Iraq you can always be sure GTech and d16man will be in trying to defend their hero Dubya Bush. :confused:

    UN Charter apparently.

    No one ever turned up those WMDs that were used as the reason for pre-emptive self defence. Now the US has created the precedent that anyone can invade someone else under the guise of self-defense by manufacturing a threat.

    The law of deception d16man, lying to the American public about non-existant WMDs. And because of that thousands of people have died, many of them American soldiers.

    The Private Lynch story is yet another example of how we are all being lied to by these fools in power. The Pat Tillman story is yet another example.

    You, being the original sheeple just don't seem to understand it and think that it's all good sat there in your own home safely behind your computer keyboard whilst these scumbags are deceiving us all. :rolleyes:

    Sorry, the un charter is not U.S. law nor does it supercede U.S. law.

    Deception isn't against the law unless you're under oath. I don't recall Bush or anyone else being under oath when they "lied" about the reasons for going to war.

    Would you care to point out where in US Law it is ok to invade another nation on suspicion of a threat?
