TEXACO SELLING PRO WAR MAGAZINE

But I do know that I was watching Euronews last night, and they have finally released the first (to my knowledge anyway) film about 9/11. Apperantly its a TV movie, made for Showtime (who?), and it focuses on Bush's 'heroic efforts' on the day and the eight days afterwards. But get this, it was directed by none other than
Bush appointee to the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities Lionel Chetwynd - who is also (funnyily enough) a self-described political conservative and a defender of the war on Iraq.

Good to see that good old manipulation of people's genuine fears and memories is still around two years after the event.

I'm sure it will be a fantastic film, and reap many awards (note sarcasm in the first half of previous sentence)

Most people have forgotten the invasion of Panama City by Bush senior. The Yanks bombed the shit out of the poor districts of Panama City to shut the fuck up Noriega in case he would spill the beans on Bush senior's drug running.
American troops rampaged through Panama City shooting anything that moved. Men, women and children were blown away just like what they are doing now in Baghdad. Check it out. Google back to Panama. Most of the American Army now consists of Latin Americans. The same people that slaughter so many of their own people in South America. The same blood lust. Latino Americans, you should be so ashamed. Shame on you Latinos.
Bloodthirsty bastards.

the style appears familiar, but now it's not "Arabic DNA" [which doesn't exist] or "how do you pronounce Caoimhe?" but "most US soldiers are latino".
You are full of shit. Yes we remember Noriega.
I'll go next door shall I? and ask my neighbours who are from Panama to explain it all to me will I? and then I'll ask them why they're not in the US army will I?

[readers check "caspain's" comments at the link make up your own mind]

Incidently caspain you disgusting thinly veiled racist and I know you're online right now, only one army in the West has recorded increased recruitment amongst south americans and that is España.
