Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

umm… i hate to break it to this intrepid online journalist that you’ve linked to here, but thats just plain bullshit. bush’s opening line to the group was to say that the iraqi soldier had something to say to him… youre telling me that bush just guessed that ‘sgt. a’quil’ had something to say to him?
i mean c’mon even albertans arent that dumb. as for the coaching, the DoD rep, and i quote from her… its available for all you bush-believers at onegoodmove.org, “if he gives us a question thats not something that we have SCRIPTED, capt. kennedy you are going to have that mike thats your chance to impress us all. mst. sgt. lombardo when you are talking about the president coming to see you in new york, take a little breath before that so that you can actually be talking directly to him, YOU HAVE A REAL MESSAGE THERE.”
alright you little fundamentalists. unless bush and his people are able to see into the future, how were they able to know that his message had real meaning?
I don’t see Bush in the photo. Could you point him out to me?
And when Paul Martin called this year’s winner of Canadian Idol, do you really think that wasn’t scripted too?
Too funny Nothing is real anymore.
And that was from the east coast version. By the time we saw it (west coast feed) in BC she was standing in the water.
They Call Us, “Doc”>>>> Responding To “A Staged Event”.
“Don’t tell me what the Iraqi people can or can’t do. They will tell you with their VOTES!” Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>>>>>>
They Call Us, “Doc”
A blog inspired by my experiences from serving as a US Army Combat Medic with the 278th RCT in Iraq. (I may throw in some other stuff for good measure!)
Yesterday, I (bottom right corner in the picture) was chosen to be among a small group of soldiers assigned to the 42ID’s Task Force Liberty that would speak to President Bush, our Commander-in-Chief. The interview went well, but I would like to respond to what most of the mass-media has dubbed as, “A Staged Event.”
First of all, we were told that we would be speaking with the President of the United States, our Commander-in-Chief, President Bush, so I believe that it would have been totally irresponsible for us NOT to prepare some ideas, facts or comments that we wanted to share with the President.
We were given an idea as to what topics he may discuss with us, but it’s the President of the United States; He will choose which way his conversation with us may go.
We practiced passing the microphone around to one another, so we wouldn’t choke someone on live TV. We had an idea as to who we thought should answer what types of questions, unless President Bush called on one of us specifically.
President Bush told us, during his closing, that the American people were behind us. I know that we are fighting here, not only to preserve our own freedoms, but to establish those same freedoms for the people of Iraq. It makes my stomach ache to think that we are helping to preserve free speech in the US, while the media uses that freedom to try to RIP DOWN the President and our morale, as US Soldiers. They seem to be enjoying the fact that they are tearing the country apart. Worthless!
The question I was most asked while I was home on leave in June was, “So…What’s REALLY going on over there?” Does that not tell you something?! Who has confidence in the media to tell the WHOLE STORY? It’s like they WANT this to turn into another Vietnam. I hate to break it to them, but it’s not.
Tomorrow morning, the Iraqi people will vote on their constitution. The success of our mission or the mission of the Iraqi security forces is not defined by the outcome of that vote. If the people of Iraq vote this constitution down, that only means that the FREE, DEMOCRATIC PROCESS is at work in Iraq. They are learning to voice their opinions in the polling stations, not through violence. If it is voted down, they will have the chance to draft an even better version; One that may better serve the people of Iraq. This is up to them. It is history in the making and I will not let the media or anyone else (who has not spent more than two weeks here) tell me otherwise. I have been here for almost a year. I have seen the progress made in so many ways from January’s elections to this referendum. Don’t tell me what the Iraqi people can or can’t do. They will tell you with their VOTES!

Excellent post.
Hey,
If Bush is responsible for hurricanes, earthquakes and skin blemishes on the poor, why can’t he do something as simple as reading the mind of a Marine grunt. Should be a piece of cake for man with that kind of power.
Really …. you people out there who think Bush is a chimp …. it’s a pretty smart chimp who gets to be the biggest monkey on the planet. Try it yourself! You might get a job at the zoo cleaning up monkey shit and that’s about it. Can you still bend over and touch the floor? Put down the Doritos and give it a try.
