We were flipping through the channels this morning when the "flag incident" happened. Katie and the Today show crowd all got uncomfortable when the flag came out and somebody even mentioned that "you know eyes are rolling at the Pentagon right now".....They brought it up again and again, as if the whole celebration was ruined because of the flag incident. Nobody remarked on the Iraqi people that were waving american flags while this was happening.

They also failed to take the sound feed from the cell phones of Western reporters on the scene. FNC had the sound feed which clearly had the cheering of the crowd.

Or that it was an Iraqi citizen who brought the US flag out in the first place.

Actually, the Iraqis in the square were cheering when the flag covered Saddam's face. Then, an Iraqi man produced a pre-Saddam flag and it was put up around Saddam's neck. The Marine took the Iraqi flag down before toppling the ogre. The whole thing was actually quite symbolic and up-lifting for those present.

The kneepad networks are hard at work digging for anything to denegrate the courageous achievement of OUR Soldiers. The dissers are following the talking points which instruct them to not let this get too positive for Bush & co. Of course, they end up denegrating our honorable Soldiers in the process, but they means nothing to the Kerryesque crowd.

I love it.  Have you ever noticed how people are
ashamed they are watching this stuff? It's always
something like....

"I was over on DU, just to see what the enemy is doing..."
or
"The dog stepped on the remote and the TV landed
on CNN when I noticed...."

LOL
