Jeff Tiedrich - what the fuck is going on in the Strait of Hormuz?

have you noticed that Donny’s don’t-you-dare-call-it-a-war on Iran is the first modern American armed conflict that hasn’t had the press embedded with the troops?

think about it: World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, both Iraq invasions — all those merry little wars had shitloads of reporters covering every minute of what went on. hell, even the Civil War had Matthew Brady taking battlefield photos.

but Iran? bupkis. we haven’t had one second of on-the-scene coverage of any of the fuckery that’s being perpetrated in our names.

of course you don’t need me to tell you why that is: it’s so these shit-kazoos can lie to us about what they’ve been up to, just like they lie to us about every fucking thing.
