Another Soldier Steps In for Clarification on the "Staged" Accusation

Like I said, interview the damn soldiers for clarifications about the so-called "staged" teleconference with President Bush last week! These MSM outlets are total idiots. They go out of their way to bash President Bush on the live teleconference saying everything was staged and that the soldiers' own words weren't their own. Now, we have another soldier stepping forward adding more to the old phrase about the MSM on catching them "red handed" for their deceitfulness. From the Chattanooga Times Free Press:

A Chattanooga soldier now in Iraq with the 278th Regimental Combat Team said soldiers used their own words during comments made last week in a satellite discussion with President Bush.

"We wanted to give President Bush a no-kidding assessment of what we have all been working 14- (to) 18-hour days on for the last 11 months," said Lt. Gregg Murphy, of Chattanooga. "We gave him the God’s honest truth as we know it."

The dialogue was among President Bush and 10 U.S. soldiers stationed in Iraq last Thursday on the eve of Iraq’s constitutional referendum. Media outlets have called the event staged because the solders went through a rehearsal before talking live with President Bush.

"Staged infers that we were given scripts and that we followed those scripts," Lt. Murphy wrote in an e-mail to the Chattanooga Times Free Press. "This is not true. None of the members on the panel used any words that were not their own."

Lt. Murphy said he was chosen to travel to Tikrit, Iraq, for the interview because he had spent the last three months leading an Iraqi army training program at a 278th base near the Iranian border.

They can't even track them down for clarification but these soldiers had to step forward for the clarification. The MSM sure can track down some yahoo guy in Texas about the fakey Bush memo in a moment's notice but refuse to ask the soldiers for clarification about their wordings...was it their own or not? Of course they were. You a fool or what?
