John Boehner wants you to know that it’s OK if Republicans use images of people killed on 9/11 for political purposes, but at the same time, it’s very very bad indeed if Dems show pictures of flag-draped coffins.
- The existence of the atomic bomb was a top secret program. It’s existence was unknown to the Japanese. (presumably). The guided bombs on delivery to Israel are not top secret.
- The information that the bombs were being delivered came from the Bush Administration itself. It would appear, if one were to actually think about it, that the Administration wishes people to know, (Hezzbollah, Syria and Iran perhaps?) that the Israeli supply of weapons will go unfettered and unthreatened. Pretty smart propaganda if you ask me.
Seems to me if certain wingnuts weren’t so eager to bash what they see as the liberal world, they might actually learn something.
Malkin is no fool of course. Creating a diversion and focusing on the messenger is a tried and true disinformation tactic of the right. The real story here is that the US provides 20% of the money for Israel’s annual military budget, and supplies the weapons. Israel has a direct line of credit to US military corporations. Hezzbollah’s weapons are supplied and financed by Syria and Iran.
That’s the story and the point.
