Unfortunately right on target for the msm.

Can we question their patriotism now?

Do you think Google will notice this video?

It was done last year, but remains spot on.

For the record, this was produced last year, and it's still on target. The media still engages in the same behaviors, and would find fault with any military action, no matter how righteous. They would still seek out insurgents, terrorists, and enemies to embed. They would still run their agitprop for them.

In to the breach.

I remember this one from a year ago.

Thanks Kindly for the h/t Charles.

They nailed the shameful American media exactly.

Too bad the "studio anchor" was so monotone.

But...but...we're citizens of the world!

Ronald Reagan's 40th Anniversary of D-Day speech 2 of 2

The professor was classic.

In the word of my generation, this is some serious lulz. So sad but true.

Not negative enough. No photos of bodies of French people killed in the crossfire. No interviews with frightened French people cowering in their homes at the sound of the naval bombardment--"Mais oui, things weren't so bad under the occupation...and les Allemands were taking care of our Jewish problem for us."

I thought the "retired General" giving his opinion was a good touch.

One could only imagine the msm frenzy in the month after D-Day when allied armies could not break out of the hedgerows of Normandy and were taking ghastly casualties.

Well done satire. Unfortunately if that was now I don't think it would be much of one.

re: #13 chinesearithmetic

My Dad was in the Eighth Air Force. He hates Bush because The New York Times says he must. I haven't the heart to ask him how he didn't manage to kill one French baby.

Ask you dad, if he was president, and reports continued to cross his desk that Saddam was murdering 10's of thousands of women, children, and his political enemies. In one grave alone 98 children were found having been buried alive without bullets in thier bodies. Pregnant women are in these mass graves with a single bullet to the head. They were forced to kneel down at the side of the grave, and wait for their turn to be executed. One mass grave was 75% women and children, and the graves were all dug with backloaders - very professional.

What would he do as president? 300 thousand people were killed this way - tortured, executed. Saddam got 5000 in one day with a cyanide al fresca deal. 10,000 more were seriously injured by the poison gas in one day.

Now that's genocidal efficiency. I don't understand the mindset of people who think we shouldn't act.

I think the US should consistently take on more genocidal monsters so that after a while, the new monsters think: "Hey, I don't want the US after me."

re: #6 Thanos

Thanos - Good find! What I always see as the worst thing the MSM does, which they've neglected here, is putting up photos that are falsely described, faux or other lies and then featuring "civilians" harmed or killed in the battle. This video only scratches the surface with a macro parody... they need to do one of the immensely damaging micro (remember wag the dog?).

A short post for my remembrance and gratitude to those who fought. Many of us would not exist, myself included, if they had not fought and won. And none of us would be free. None.

re: #30 auldtrafford

They needed to interview a mother whose son was on the beach, and ask her how she's feeling? Do you think you'll see your son ever again?

Meet Barack Obama dot Com has launched and McCain has a new ad out, the real political season is now on.

I was talking to my buddy Bill last night. Bill claims to have served with the American army in Vietnam.

Heck, I don't even recall seeing the guy kill so much as one baby.

And he can't even pronounce Kengis Khan.

OT...this will make your blood boil, our ROP friend in Charlotte.

In an e-mail sent to FOX News, Khan lashed out at the "arrogance" of the media, saying it should focus instead on converting to Islam. "When you go down in to the earth six feet deep, nothing will matter except what Religion you died upon," he wrote.

Following a FOXNews.com report last month profiling his Web site, Khan railed against "the Kuffaar" — non-believers — who wrote the article and affirmed his belief that jihad is "an Islaamic obligation" rooted in Muslim texts.

re: #58 MJ

I think you were right the first time.

Loved the photos of the landing spots and little arrows showing planned troop movements along with the code names for the landing sites scrolling across the bottom. Giving away military secrets in the name of "freedom of the press."

Sickening but true.

re: #62 taxfreekiller

Must not have seen Paree. Oh, wait, that was WWI. You know, the war to end all wars.

How's that working out?

Roosevelt Lied! Troops Died!

Today's media would have leaked the preparations for the invasion and mentioned the 700 or soldiers killed during rehearsals. The result: our guys would have gone in with the Germans fully alerted and waiting.

You see, as you know from past post of mine, I am inside and know the ropes and how important the kings and queens of the media are,
in fact without us, WWII would just be a wild guess as to who did what and when, in fact we knew the out come of the Vietnam War before the VC and the NVA.

Hell, I think I'm a better Cognito than he is.

If only FDR didn't have some kind of personal vendetta against Hitler.

After all, Hitler didn't attack us! It was the Japanese. We should be utilizing ALL our forces to find him where ever he is and bring him to justice.

Don't even think of relaxation via masturbation.

If the internet existed back then, and Kos was around, he would have had a diary from Charles Lindergh:

In a speech at an America First rally in Des Moines on September 11, 1941, entitled "Who Are the War Agitators?" Lindbergh claimed the three groups, "pressing this country toward war [are] the British, the Jewish and the Roosevelt Administration" and said of Jewish groups, "Instead of agitating for war, the Jewish groups in this country should be opposing it in every possible way for they will be among the first to feel its consequences. Tolerance is a virtue that depends upon peace and strength. History shows that it cannot survive war and devastation." In the speech, he warned of the Jewish People's "large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our government," and went on to say of Germany's Antisemitism, "No person with a sense of the dignity of mankind can condone the persecution of the Jewish race in Germany." Lindbergh declared, "I am not attacking either the Jewish or the British people. Both races, I admire. But I am saying that the leaders of both the British and the Jewish races, for reasons which are as understandable from their viewpoint as they are inadvisable from ours, for reasons which are not American, wish to involve us in the war. We cannot blame them for looking out for what they believe to be their own interests, but we also must look out for ours. We cannot allow the natural passions and prejudices of other peoples to lead our country to destruction."

Sounds just like the average KOS poster. Just substitute Zionist for Jew.

Indeed.

Also it's an interesting fact that Eisenhower wrote a letter to the President taking full responsibility should the landings fail. He gave it to an aide to be delivered only in that event.

Before the landings, Eisenhower had casualty estimates as high as 80,000 men, approximately half the forces scheduled to land on the beaches that day. He still went ahead with the landing. Talk about brass balls...

Syria squashes coup attempt

A coup plot against Syrian President Bashar al- Assad was quietly crushed without the world noticing, the German newspaper Die Welt was set to report Saturday, quoting German and "foreign" intelligence sources. It said Syria's military intelligence chief, Assef Shaukat, had plotted to seize power while Assad was hosting an Arab League meeting in Damascus in February. Shaukat, who is an in-law to the president, and 100 intelligence officers had been arrested.

Die Welt said Assad had been tipped off by Imad Mughniyah, a senior member of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah organization in Lebanon. Mughniyah was killed a few days later in a bomb blast on February 12 in Damascus.

The sources said it was possible that associates of Shaukat had assassinated him in revenge. Releasing the story Friday in advance of going to print, Die Welt said some of the plotters were allegedly linked to violent Islamist groups.

True or psy-ops?
