Ah, yes. It's getting to be spring, when a young brownshirt's thoughts turn to...repression. The Pentagram has announced that they are starting their own news service in the Fertile Crescent to, well, provide their viewpoints on the goings-on there for the major media outlets around the world.A Fox An Army spokesmodel says that it will allow "their viewpoint" to be aired. There's an objective source, an occupying army.
The American public ``currently gets a pretty slanted picture,'' said Army Capt. Randall Baucom, a spokesman for the Kuwait-based U.S.-led Coalition Land Forces Command. ``We want them to get an opportunity to see the facts as they exist, instead of getting information from people who aren't on the scene.''
...
``The Army wants to get their view across and they are using a technique as old as any public relations manuever ever devised,'' said Aly Colon, an ethics group leader at the Poynter Institute, the journalism research and education center in St. Petersburg, Fla.
``I would view the Army's decison, in the same way that I would view OPEC creating a communications system to help the American public understand what it means when prices go up,'' he said.
Or the Supreme Court telling us they had issued an impartial decision in Decemeber 2000. Yeah, that kind of truth-telling. I guess it's sort of like the farm-team for Fox News, eh?

And we'll even have rape-cams for female barracks. And daily penicilin updates for leave tents... and poetry readings by the local non-American anti defamation non-suicidal Iraqi noninurgent league.
And a tour in the cab saddam drove- complete with roadside bombs!
And of course Truth or Dare with host Achmed Chalabi. This weeks's episode (pardon the pun) is DARE week of course, with special guest Donald Rumsfeld.
Depleted uranium will be next week's news special featuring geiger counter shower facility and hazmat exposure universal precaution drills.
Finally there will be our commercial break feature- "What would Rupert do?" It features a series of merger aquisitions of media in third world despots featuring mosque bombings by our sponosred counterinsurgents, cops in bagdhad-gangrape edition, and of course the hunt for the Joker out of the deck of cards, the Air Guard Maverick himself in his action figure flight suit with navy wings.
Was the "wreath" that clown stole at Yale as a drunk buffoon stunt a cops' way of insinuating he was never officer material? Which rank gets a wreath with it for a branch of service? Did some guy like Kerry make him do it as an initiation since Bush basically stole his officer status in the ANG?
This is not your commander in chief's actual field sobriety test, it is a stunt double's re-enactment for morale support.
And the first 5 winners to call in get a free plastic autographed turkey to be denied the chance to view if coming in from the field of duty for photo-op.
And next hour translation sessions for gun police and soldier training which says that you will renounce ba'ath party and republican guard as long as you guard loyal republicans.
