Say it 10 times fast and an encrypted message will appear in your own words and in your own voice. I don't mean to get too mysterious but this is how certain news networks play sly little games and put words in your mouth and make you think they're your own. It requires no substance just a jingle or a sound bite repeated often enough. I for one will try to never be out foxed again. I will also out of respect to you the reader try to  include some substance. The white house is soon to report on the war in Iraq. George Bush has said that politicians should not be telling Generals how to do their jobs. The upcoming report that will be issued to congress is a status report on the war. General Petraues was easily accepted as the man to tell all. Obviously qualified and accepted on both sides of the aisle, we eagerly await his report. The President established this fact finding format with media coverage and said he is going to listen intently to the Generals opinion. Clever wording. I learned this trick from listening to politicians. The General is on a fact finding mission, the President is interested in his opinion. If he likes what he hears its a fact, if he doesn't its an opinion. This is what we waited for. They bought more time at 5 billion dollars a month. Regardless of what the General says  the report  will be written by the white house staff not the General.  So it's THE WHITE HOUSE WILL,"IN" GENERAL PETRAUES!  so THE WHITE HOUSE WILL IN GENERAL BETRAY US!
