Last night I heard Oprah saying the war in Afghanistan had very little impact on

That made me wonder...why don't we see the pictures of the dead, their caskets,

We used to see their pictures on NBC and other newscasts, and even in the big
papers. Now we see nothing of the sort.

Anyone?

Are you stupid or just lying? Bush was the one who banned photography
of the caskets. Obama rescinded that.

emdeplume, kick you butt off your shoulders, you will see the real
situation a lot better.

I believe the policy banning of the casket photography was in effect during the
Clinton administration. Bush simply enforced it.

In any case, so what? Why is this liberal president not showing all the caskets?

Why not write Fox News and ask them.... you could post their response
here....

The question had to do with the major media, not Fox. Fox wasn't, as far as I
know, broadcasting pictures of dead soldiers like the major media were.

Why is the major media not doing the same now?

I suppose that's a rough question for a liberal.

The old adage of not asking questions which you don't already know the
answers comes to mind.

Maybe you should define "major media." Since FOX leads what I would
call major media by at least a 2 to 1 margin, I thought they were
major media.... silly me.....

Too much of a challenge?

Major television media, to me, include NBC, ABC, and CBS, not the cable news
networks such as CNN, MSNBC, or FOX. Major newsprint media include the
Washington Post, NY Times, LA Times, USA Today, etc. None of them are pushing
pictures of dead soldiers as they were when Bush was president.

Nothing challenging there.

That was American caskets,

John is talking about dead Arabs.
Nobody seems to give a **** about dead Arabs.
That is why it is easy to throw around terms like "no fly zones"
without equating it with dead people.


Is Herring talking about dead Arabs? How can you tell?

Really? Where did he say that? I don't see any reference to dead
Arabs. He's a right-wing liar, who doesn't give a fig about facts.

I was wrong, I did misread the first note. John does have a point
though. The media fought Bush for the right to go out to Dover and
take pictures of coffins from the Iraq war and now that they have that
right, they are not showing the coffins coming home from Afghanistan.

They do not "have the right" to do it. They have the right to get
permission from the families.

I don't really think it is a liberal conspiracy though. I think the TV
networks just figured out they sell more products if they don't show
coffins and they like the American public to be as blissfully ignorant
of this war as Oprah. It does demonstrate how phony the righteous
indignation of the left was when Bush was the president. It was never
about the war. It was only about Bush.

Bush deserved every bit of indignation. He was a punk and bully.

You made a couple of typos but I fixed them for you.

Thanks for confirming what I said.

I find it disturbing that you would support such a jerk. He played a
huge role in ruining our economy, destroying our credibility abroad,
and caused 1000s of our brave troops to be killed and maimed.

He was just one player in a 20 year Bush/Clinton/Bush ... now Obama
government. The policy differences are largely cosmetic.

... and it starts again in Libya

No, he wasn't just "one player." He started a war of choice. He did
more than anyone else (unless you count Cheney) to undermine the US
economically, socially, and with foreign policy. Feel free to keep
defending him.

Nothing is starting "again" in Libya. More right-wing nonsense.
