Evidently, Congress knows some things no one else does
Tuesday, April 24th, 2007With renewed confidence after the whole Gonzales debacle last week, Congress once again pushes to get someone else to say what they want to hear. After interrogating Gonzales, guilty of nothing more than having a public relations team so bad that it couldn’t make Mother Teresa look good, they now turn their proverbial sights to the Pentagon, to ask questions about the tragic death of Pat Tillman in Afghanistan (back when the democrats still liked war) and the rescue of PFC Jessica Lynch in Iraq.
The situation is this, the Army thought there may have been a predator drone flying overhead. They looked to see if this was true and found nothing. The hope was to get video evidence and clear up a friendly fire accident. Again, they found nothing.
Congress now seems to think that the Army doesn’t know what its talking about and is SURE there was a drone there, and that the military is hiding it. Now, after however many admissions of responsibility, why would the Army hide this video? It can either prove them right and show that Tillman’s death was a result of a screw up, or prove them wrong and prove it was the Taliban.
Now as for Jessica Lynch, I don’t know what they are getting at. There is a tape of the whole rescue, and this evidently has more to do with Lynch’s portrayal as a “Rambo” than anything else. For the record, Lynch was on a gurney the whole time, and the most she did was hold a “thumbs up” sign.
So, off to watch this hearing, and see what exactly Congress thinks they know that the Army doesn’t.
