More specifically, I ask this:
It's been discovered that an anti-war "combat veteran" has been exposed as a fraud. He washed out of training, was never in Iraq, and his stories of atrocities by US soldiers are absolutely fabricated. There have been other similar cases as well - people falsely claiming to be in the military when they seek out the media. A radio commentator has pointed this out.
Do you:
(A) Decry the propaganda and lies of this phony soldier, whose words have already been translated into Arabic and been carried to our enemies in Iraq and elsewhere?
or
(B) Criticize the host for publicizing this by twisting his words into a statement that was never made, without bothering to even mention (much less criticize) the actions of this phony soldier?
Please answer A or B, and give your political affiliation/philosophy.
Thanks.

As a true veteran, I find B as worthy of more criticism. Anyone with a mental condition can pretend to be a war hero, but it takes someone with a slimy agenda and conscience to pull off a fake interview.
Independent.
At the end of the day we are just Americans.
Indeed, it is disturbing that any American would speak poorly of their country, but it seems to be the bulk of media today. I can't even watch the daily show anymore without some anti-bush anti-war agenda being thrown in my face. This isn't a surprise at all coming from the liberal media.

The flood was a sad fact, not just a story. God is also infinitely just. But he made a covenant with the world that He would nor destroy it by flood again - by the rainbow. Just about every culture has a great flood 'story'.

A of course. It is interesting to watch the fascists on the left try to spin this story as something other than it is. My favorite is the attempt to equate this with the swift boat vets and their truthful telling of Kerry's actions after his discharge form the military and his action at the winter soldiers meeting. I would be a conservative, interested in the truth

Why limit answers to A or B ?
Just tell the truth of the situation. Let people know.

Well, I think this is what you're referring to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Macbeth
Somehow I missed this in the news (I read CNN and Yahoo News daily and check other news sources weekly).
I think what he did amounts to treason in a time of war.
I am a liberal Democrat. :)
