Well DUHHHHHHH...........it's a satellite conversation with people thousands of miles apart. The soldiers were all sitting on bleachers with microphones.

OF COURSE it was "STAGED!"

What is WRONG with these people anyway??? (Don't answer that. ;)

1. They hate President Bush.
2. They hate our military.
3. They hate the Republic.

I know. I lose 10 points for answering.

[brushcop]

Right, I agree and anyway, SO WHAT?? I enjoyed listening to the soldiers anyway!

I've got 5 words for these reporters:

"Bill Clinton Town Hall Meeting"

But it's OK that those were staged....

Agreed! Staged? I guess when you have a meeting and you want to talk about certain topics it's "staged". I guess their daily t.v. reports are "staged" because don't they edit and cut sections from their tape and then display it to the public? "stage" Function: transitive verb Inflected Form(s): staged; stag·ing 1 : to produce (as a play) on a stage 2 : to produce or cause to happen for public view or public effect - stage·able /'stA-j&-b&l/ adjective Well if you go by the dictionary I guess it was staged. The president wanted to talk to the troops and wanted the rest of the country to be part of it. Heck I guess everything the President does is "staged"! Tell the MSM to get some real news.....

[luvbach1]

Big deal. So they had a run through. And the implication that only 40% of Americans support the troops is slanted journalism at its worst!

[acapesket]

It's like that poor shmoe from the State Dept. (Brit Hume 10/13/05) that had to reply to a reporter something like .."well, who are you going to believe? Murderous terrorists who kill little kids ..or us?"
Unforunately, we all know the answer to that question!

[lizma]

Wasn't Hillary's appearance on Leno staged? How many softball questions have we heard at "town hall" meetings? All the pols do it.

The MSM is too stupid to think that we may have been noticing this for years.

STAGED

Bill checks out Korean DMZ, with the lens caps on.

Fox News showed the clips prior to the Pres. There was a women from the Pentagon taking to the troops. She was taking them through their introductions, the order of questions, how the Iraqi troop would be introduced. The troops questions and reactions were their own. The media is seriously out of control.

Too bad the media is going to get burned big time on the Plame crap. Payback is a b*tch.

"Right, I agree and anyway, SO WHAT?? I enjoyed listening to the soldiers anyway!"

The MSM would have rather made fun of the soldiers giving nervous answers to the commander in chief.

[ohioWfan]

It was great to hear the soldiers.............and I loved the Iraqi soldier who didn't 'stage' his answer to the President's surprise question.

It was ALL good stuff. Our soldiers are AWESOME!
