Baghdad Bob Reporting from the USA

RodneyScreemer:

If you don’t remember Baghdad Bob, back in 2003 he repeatedly appeared on Iraqi television assuring Iraqi’s of their successful war effort against American forces, proclaiming “there are no Americans in Baghdad” and that Iraqi forces were “burning the Americans in their tanks”, saying only that his reports came from “authentic sources - many authentic sources”.

My favorite Baghdad Bob moment was the day he was on the roof of a hotel telling the press that all US forces had been stopped at the boarder of Baghdad. And while he spoke a M1Abrams tank came down the main boulevard next to the hotel. And when it was pointed out to him he said that it was one of the captured tanks. And then the lid opened and a US Army Commander stood up and waved to the press on the roof. The next day Baghdad Bob was gone.

Some folks are really going to need to pace themselves.

Great Op
Think the NYT or the Wash Po might run it?

Honesty I have thought about Baghdad Bob a lot with how Trump and his administration talked about how Covid is going way.

This will be the only post from this gentleman is my guess.

We’ve had a few of these.

What country is it going anyway in? As far as I can tell and someone can correct me no other country made the virus political.

Ask Europe if it’s going away

Not in the USA despite what Trump has said over and over again.

What about Europe they were held up on a pedestal on how to handle it

mollyBrown · 2020-11-07T20:23:41.041Z

Here are some of the times he made that claim. He is like Baghdad Bob. All of the times President Trump said Covid-19 will disappear

Did they make the claim over and over and over again it’s going away while their numbers were going up? They did not.

Yes many of them did say things were getting better instead of we’re all going to die. We will watch the narrative change as soon as Biden steps in to office it will be about hope not about death and hiding.

This had cost the world trillions up on trillions, And everyone but the Democrats are pointing their finger firmly at China.

Lol. Donny went full Baghdad Bob telling lies all the time about Covid. It is one reason it cost him the election.

No the reason he lost the election by a razor margin was that the media absolutely hates his ■■■■■■■ guts. Like I said we are the only ones as far as I can tell who made it political and they were countless countries who flubbed it from the beginning and still is. The WHO says lockdowns are not good, yet they already started locking down Europe

You can return to this post and prove me wrong once Biden takes office, but I predict the message will immediately change more to what we were hearing from Trump that we can’t stay locked down and have to face this. Biden might be suffering from old age but he’s not stupid he knows we are beyond broke and cannot stay locked down forever.

I would like to see Biden win reelection with the media given him 96% negative coverage it wouldn’t happen, they don’t represent half of this country.

Trump may be gone but the excuses aren’t.

Edit: well actually, he’s not gone yet, he’s still president and it’s not official.

I’m not saying Trump is like Baghdad Bob for saying we must open up. I am saying he’s like Baghdad Bob for saying that the virus will disappear just like that. That we will be in the pews by Easter.

SeaManatee · 2020-11-07T20:51:51.833Z

I mean take your pick, anyone who wants a test can get a test, 15 cases going on 0, it’s going to disappear.

Why is the media so mean to Trump when all he wants to do is give us information.

it razor margin no mandate and just need to hold out for the 2022 midterms.

That’s not what President Harris told Joe Biden to say this morning. The Democrats will clearly proceed with their mandate.

mollyBrown · 2020-11-07T20:54:31.494Z

Did Trump have a mandate? That’s what I heard often after the election.

Axxowiz · 2020-11-07T21:07:42.414Z

Well she has to say that I don’t blame her, but she knows it’s not true. They will be facing McConnell and a 6-3 Supreme Court on outrageous executive orders.

They needed to win the Senate big for a mandate and losing house seats didn’t help. They will be lucky if they can win one of the Georgia senate seats in the runoff, the libertarian candidate won’t be in the mix.
