Look at the picture that the NYTIMES chose to run with their "grim milestone" story - (see below). SUBTLE? SUBLIMINAL?
No, actually clumsy and too obvious: U.S. Death Toll in Iraq War Hits 4,000
Courtest [sic] of the Agami family
Army Specialist Daniel J. Agami, 25, of Coconut Creek, Fla. More Photos >
It's the left-wing line: Bush went to war against raq for Israel. Even Obama advisor McPeak recently said as much.
Of course, other left-wingers say we went to war against Saddam for the House of Saud.
Don't ask for consistency or congruence: the left is insane. And they control the NYTIMES and most of the MSM.
That's why we see so much anti-USA, anti-Semitic, pro-AL Qaeda propaganda in the media. And make no mistake abut it: that's what this photo is ALL about - giving credence to the lies of the left and al Qaeda..
ATLAS - WHO GENEROUSLY LINKS HERE - WROTE THIS:
Reading down into the article (way down, almost near the end), it makes sense why he would be photographed in front of this flag: “He flew the Israeli flag over his cot in Adhamiya.” Given that Agami willingly fought for and died for this country, I don’t see anyone having a problem with his choice of decor.
What is a problem is the fact that the Times uses this particular photograph to illustrate an article about American troops who have died in Iraq. One simply can’t escape the impression that the Times is trying to send the subliminal message — a very strong subliminal message — that Americans are fighting and dying for Israel, not for America.
It would be nice to believe that the Times highlighted this particular photograph because its editors wanted to make the point that ours is an exceptionally pluralist army, made up of Americans representing the vast tapestry of race and religion that enriches America. Given the Times‘ political biases, though, it’s very difficult to escape the conclusion that some editor couldn’t resist making a political point...
EXACTLY!
We did not go to war for Israel or Saudia Arabia, but both coutries certainly have benefited from our presence in the region.

I think you'll like what I did with this story over at IBA.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I hear Mrs. Sulzberger is really great when she takes her teeth out.
