No, this was an inflated propaganda BS propagated by the liberal media to undermine the war on terror and as a consequence to undermine the Bush administration during an election year. It always amaze me that so many can't see what's is clearly in front of their noses.
That it was inflated propaganda does not contradict my larger point that this event had wide ranging repercussions on our image and therefore impaired diplomacy while we are at war.
Only last week world-wide-communism ambassador Ted Kennedy was rubbing it our faces again. It all started with out-of-control parties that the participants clearly knew would be UCMJ violations. That's what was clearly in front of their noses.
