Bloodbath, Iran Takover And $9 A Gallon If We Leave- Yeah Sure
If the defeatacrats have their way with foeign policy, says Rep. Jon Porter (Gay Old Party, Nev) after his fourth trip to Iraq, ostensibly to check the situation "on the ground". Trying to find out his itinerary while over there seems to be fruitless, but one would imagine his being holed up in a bunker inside the green zone, chatting with a hand picked crew of soldiers who were coached in the correct language for him to bring back a strong pro war message.
"Just look at what Porter says what the troops tell him when he visits them in Iraq: “They’re worried. They see the same commercials. They hear the same politicians. They hear the same rhetoric. They’re afraid the American people have lost their willpower, and they’re afraid the American people don’t support the troops.”
In other words his trip already had pre planned propaganda to deliver and he didn't really have to go over there to find it. His job was to play the alarmist fear monger, making sure the rubes back home don't miss the dire forecasts if america brings it's expeditionary forces back from the carnage in Iraq. Of course the bloodbath has been underway for four years already because of american presence but that doesn't matter to Message Man, as he's known in his home state of Nevada.
This guy is also known for his earlier service to the empire. As founding co-chairmen of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus he perpetrated the definitive piece of propaganda in the lead up to Gulf Slaughter 1. He allowed the PR firm of Hill and Knowlton to parade a girl in front of a caucus hearing in 1990 to give testimony (not under oath) about supposed Iraqi depredations in Kuwait:
"In fact, the most emotionally moving testimony on October 10 came from a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl, known only by her first name of Nayirah. According to the Caucus, Nayirah's full name was being kept confidential to prevent Iraqi reprisals against her family in occupied Kuwait. Sobbing, she described what she had seen with her own eyes in a hospital in Kuwait City. Her written testimony was passed out in a media kit prepared by Citizens for a Free Kuwait. "I volunteered at the al-Addan hospital," Nayirah said. "While I was there, I saw the Iraqi soldiers come into the hospital with guns, and go into the room where . . . babies were in incubators. They took the babies out of the incubators, took the incubators, and left the babies on the cold floor to die."
Yes the infamous Baby Incubator Lie, which pulled emotional strings and helped justify the subsequent bombardment and horrific slaughter of Iraqis the following year. Young Nayirah subsequently turned out to be the Kuwaiti ambassador's daughter and she wasn't anywhere near that hospital and no babies were left on that floor. Just a bald faced lie given full play to get the war on, courtesy of a PR firm hired by Kuwait and Rep. Jon Porter's phonied up caucus. Seems like he's at it once again, just as debate heats up, to shill for accelerated mass murder by not-so-subtle fearmongering.
Plus, our boy Porter would rather you didn't read words like those above because he also spreads fear about blogs:
"Asked if he supports a federal shield law for the press, he said he did. However, the problem is how to protect legitimate reporters when there are web logs, “blogs,” whose authors can defame and lie with impunity because they can be anonymous and don't have to worry about the facts.“I would like to strengthen the legitimate news sources. I'm very concerned about blogs and even some radio. They can hide behind a shield law but they are not legitimate news sources,” the congressman said.
During his first of eight stops in town he spoke to the Laughlin Rotary Club and pointed out the danger of blogs."
Translation -
"Just don't listen to those lying bloggers and even shut them up, only pay attention to "legitimate" reporters and the MSM and lying war provocateurs like me."
