Actually if you read what I wrote, you would see that I found that there was actual information in the fake news broadcast than in the propaganda piece which whitewashed the entirety of D-day with smiles and cheers. But as I said, the BS opinions were irrelevant since I don't take my opinions directly from pundits with no credentials.

Now questionining the means of an action should be done, and we shouldn't just wait for our elite politicians/media to make all the decisions and keep the general public in the dark until they can spin it towards their own favor. If you want that kind of media... then go ahead.

But I happen to like a government watchdog group that analyzes each action (not for a political gain) instead of simply being a cheerleading mouthpiece for the government.

Actually what Mr. Bush did was to declare war on every ally of those who had attacked the US.

Shortly after the US was attacked at Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, the US declared war on Germany and Italy, who were members of the Axis powers along with the Japanese.

Of course there were many in the US who like you refused to recognize the alliance and the threat posed by the enemy, but the US won he war despite people like you running the US down like this.
