The Daily Show with John Stewart

This may be a bit of a stretch but as an example of "disinformation" lets look at June 6, 1944. The Allied armies intelligence services aired large amounts of phony broadcasts throughout Europe to "disinform" the German armies of a planned attack on the French coast at Pas de Calais. First of all it was the shortest route cross' the English Channel and second of all there were no large impending bluffs as there were at the Real invasion sight of Normandy. Because of this the Atlantic Wall was not heavily re-inforced and Rommel went home for his wifes birthday! Now while I will admit the latter part of that point was in part of bad weather and Rommel believing an invasion would come later- it is still the dis-info that led him to a feeling of assuredness. So...before I start to ramble to the point of annoyance... I just wanted to re-inforce my earlier statement of using the disbelief that things are NOT happening (vis a vis the Liberal in-ability to realize we are at war) as a way of eventually defeating yourself/ourselves. After all if Rommel HAD been in France on D-Day who knows how things would have turned out. Tho I'll bet we would have eventually made it to Berlin...that is if the Russians wouldnt have got there first. P.S .....I hate to say it but yes we did help the French just a little bit in Normandy( really? ) and then of course there is that other village in that other country...Dien Bien Phu.

I think that the Liberal counter might be that it is not an inability to see that there is a war (or at least a struggle for ideological principles) but that it being waged cackhandedly. That the important job in Afghanistan was left half finished to pursue a badly thought out strategy in Iraq. The result being the security assessment today that AQ is stonger and better organised than it is has ever been.

The latest proposal is that Syria and Iran take on some of the burden of easing the problems in Iraq an idea the Iraqi Prime Minister appears to favour. Call me cynical but this sort of stuff makes shows like the Daily Show a piece of cake to write.

Re: Normandy, I thought Guillaume had already determined that De Gaulle accomplished that single handly - armed only with a spoon

Not only that, Iraq is a war that was unnecessary. Of course Bush can't bring himself to say, "I fucked up."

All he can do now is say, "Stay the course", "We're here to help the Iraqi people". Conservatives will follow along like sheep.

the sad truth is that the daily show IS our media now. all the mainstream media here do absolutely nothing they should be doing to hold ANYONE accountable for their actions. For some reason the us testing tactical nuclear weapons (scaled down for smaller use) is less of a story than some kid masturbating in the library. Investigative journalism has hit all time lows, it's sad.

Whats the big deal its a comedy show.... hosted by a COMEDIAN. He takes our good ole' prez's dumbass actions and statements and makes us laff at 'em. And no, the "real news" cannot do what John does. They still have to keep some level of objectivity.

100% ---- the other worlds perception of us all being gun totting patriots is so wrong. How could most of us even care for this man, when he's screwed this country up soo badly in such a small amount of time.

And about the kings/gueens/pope being connected to God please explain.... Last I heard the pope was an elected official(even though he's elected by other "popely" people) and royal families are just that. Kinda like how we had 2 Bush's in office and a 3rd in Fla. Aside from the pope praying all day, I fail to see the connection to God in either case.


O yea, I still say if you voted for bush your retarded.......... DEE DA DEEEEE! lol he's pleased with n. korea now too. he's like soooo awesome! I wanna run naked in the streets screaming USA!! with the stars n stripes streaming from my butthole.
