So will the media drool and fellate Trump like they did Bush?

[PlanetBev]

Bush ignored warnings about Osama Bin Ladin. Then, when he stood on the pile of rubble at Ground Zero with a bullhorn, idiots like Chris Matthew compared him to Churchill and FDR.

I need a drink…….

2. Why not? They've been at it for nearly a decade

4. It will be worse. Bush had at least a little semblance of credibility right after 9/11,

though he looked pretty damn foolish landing on the aircraft carrier to announce "Mission accomplished," which it clearly wasn't. Apart from the NYT, which beclowned itself with Judith Miller's help, at least some media were pretty critical once the Shock'n'Awe blitz went sideways. But NYT and CNN will be back to their old tricks, figurative mouths shaped like those of inflatable sex dolls.

5. I have never forgiven CNN for their drooling over "Shock and Awe".

I was screaming at the TV that those were human beings shocked and awed into burning flesh and torn limbs. Despised mainstream media ever since. Cheerleaders for war and stenographers for the military.

11. That beginning of the 2003 Iraq War picked up where the 1991 bombing of the Baghdad-Basra roads left off.

The Iraqis were basically surrendering at the end of the 1991 Persian Gulf War when U.S. air power decimated them in their vehicles along the roads as they were fleeing. Most of the media were fine with all of it. Parades here in the U.S. followed.

[AloeVera]

19. Yes of course!

The Highway of Death. Horrific.

I read a figure of a 100,000 slaughtered around their vehicles if I recall correctly. May have been an exaggeration, but tens of thousands - probably.

That it was possible to perpetrate and then ignore such a war crime tells us everything about the good 'ole USA.

[John1956PA]

21. I heard a veteran of the 1991 war speak of horrors which I will not repeat.

Embedded correspondents did not see everything that went down.

When the troops returned home in the spring of 1991, many parades took place, and the media covered them extensively.

I think the Bush 41 administration fouled up by seemingly giving a green light to Saddam Hussein to invade Kuwait. I think a diplomat by the name of Glaspy was involved in the miscommunication. James Baker flew to Iraq to personally meet with Saddam Hussein to try to get him to back off, but, by then, it was too late.

Eventually, Saddam Hussein was executed before he could spill the beans on everything that he knew about U.S. involvement in the region over the decades.

6. Matthews said Bush gave him tingles up his leg.

Another oxygen thief.

7. Why stop now ?

Now what's new on the Biden investigation ?

[PlanetBev]

10. Congress now officially spayed and neutered

Ball-less wonders.

[berkerly6240]

12. ofc.. Israel owns us..

[misanthrope]

13. Yup

It's the American way.

[GoCubsGo]

14. Do you mean above and beyond their normal drooling and fellating?

Without a doubt.

[GoodRaisin]

15. Krasnov will drool and fellate himself.

[pfitz59]

16. The Xian freaks in my orbit

are praising Jesus and Israel.

[WiVoter]

17. They Already Are

[Silent Type]

18. Question is, how will voters take it?

[dalton99a]

20. They just did - on every channel

[GaYellowDawg]

22. Of COURSE they will.

I've no faith in them any more.

[UTUSN]

23. Yes, they will/are. His fanboy Jon KARL says *now* his legacy begins, forget the past. & KRASNOV craves the 90% ratings

the two BUSHes got at the beginning of their adventures.
