"This is getting worse by the minute."

How so? It is just typical MSM nonsense. It is not even American MSM nonsense.

DFU SONG: I Want to Hold Your Hand (soldier forced to shake Hillary's hand in Baghdad)
DFU SONGS | 7-2005 | Lyrics, Doug from Upland

MIDI - I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND

Oh yeah, I follow orders.....in the chain of command
But I did not like it.....they made me shake her hand
They made me shake her hand...they made me shake her hand

It wasn't my idea...they threatened reprimand
So I crossed my fingers...they made me shake her hand
They made me shake her hand...they made me shake her hand

And when she touched me I felt queasy inside
I know that woman has a soul that has died, that has died, that has died

My friends, you can't blame me...I hope you understand
They'd given me a warning...they made me shake her hand
They made me shake her hand...they made me shake her hand

And when she touched I felt queasy inside
I know that woman has a soul that has died, that has died, that has died

It's no highlight moment...it's not what I had planned
She shouldn't even be here...they made me shake her hand
They made me shake her hand...they made me shake her hand
They made me shake her hand

Prepped, so it would be organized, is hardly staged.

Staged is when Clinton had stones placed on Normandy Beach that he could pick up while walking and use for symbolic gesture. That's staged.

This was the opening story on the NBC nightly news. I don't see it as damning, but it is a stupid misstep that never should have occurred.

Where is Rove? Love him or hate him, he does smooth PR like none other.

It was stupid to do this!Why?

Because it wasn't necessary! The troops are behind this effort and can handle themselves.

Blahahaha!

We have seen these petty attack since 2000. It comes from both Republicans and Democrats, yet Bush lives on and on and on.

This sounds like the prep for every conference call I have ever had at work. I can't believe this is a story.

I am an out and out staunch Conservative, but just how stupid can these people be. With all the crap going on with the liberals, how can one put themselves in this position?

Here's a link to the transcript. I don't understand why the WH even tolerates this kind of disrespect from reporters. Helen Thomas' remarks in particular. I think it was she who responded to this statement:

McC: Just three years ago, the Iraqi people were under a brutal, oppressive dictator, a dictator that killed thousands and thousands of people.

Q: How many have we killed?

Big Deal..all the Dims did, was show what a bunch of sour grapes loserists they are, looking for any opportunity to
mock our President and our troops in the field.

They are rat wormy excuses for human beings.

Now it seems to go from what I thought was better to worse at least that is the impression given on FOX news minutes ago where they just discussed the video conference with the troops.

[the following is from the segment on Shep's show]
Hot at the Pentagon for what happened just before taping of the video. Senior official is livid over the handling of the troops just before the airing of the video conference.

Military brass saying soldiers as props and that it was scripted and rehearsed.

However White House and Pentagon say it was NOT rehearsed. Pentagon official drilled them for 45 minutes prior to the airing and in her own words drilled on the likely questions and scripted responses. But the small bit they played I did not get that from the footage.

Apparent coaching outrageous, folks at the White House walking around shaking their heads thinking how badly it went.

I am sure this was well intended to boost the morale of the troops. But as some have said (from a previous thread)it did not come off very well, the delays and such.

Evidently FOX is also using the term "hand picked soldiers", as well.

Without the controversy, the MSM wouldn't have covered the event.

Last year, didn't a reporter coach a soldier to ask embarrassing questions at a press conference? I guess that's alright.

Well, it was pretty poor that it was all rehearsed. It didn't come off very well. The only high point was when he said the female sgt. (?) looked familiar and she said he did as well. If he'd played it off the cuff, it would have been a home run.
