The New York Times' April expose on the massaging of public opinion through "message force multipliers" (a term only the Pentagon could come up with) has now prompted at least two investigations. The program was suspended following the initial NYT report.Gosh, and to think that the problem that Doug Feith was trying to clarify was that the administration should not be held accountable because everyone wound up believing the UnderTruthierNeff that evil minnions of Satan injected into the Evil Liberal Media by Message Force Multipliers MFM's!!!
The Department of Defense inspector general announced last Friday that it was undertaking a investigation of the program, and the Congress' own General Accountability Office has "already begun looking into the program and would give a legal opinion on whether it violated longstanding prohibitions against spending government money to spread propaganda to audiences in the United States."

They USEd MFM's!!!
For our civilians friends the use of 'f' denoted 'golf' as in fGolf, so this is one more case of Gertie The Golf Cart Gollom Injecting Satanic Cult Ritualisms into MgolfM's....
HELLO!!! Didn't people get the Memo that the green ones were BAD!!! They Have Golf In Them!! 'g' Golf, g Green, same big bright machine...
Try to remember americans, this is memorial day week end, when the so called psuedo carring pretend to give a crap about those who served in the US Military - and we keep dealing with the reality check that the Military is STILL recovering from the levels of Moral Corruption that made it just one more part of the big revolving door of the Military Industrial Infotainment Complex!!!
Nope, this time I am not Hammering on the Civilian Community, while not 'blameless' - they can at least cop to the excuse, that corruptable types are corruptable...
Whereas some of us made conscious decisions about our obligations, not understanding that the old school tie level of moral obligation had gone Bye-Bye under the NeoConClownCarCrew who really thog that war was just like when Karl Rove was Wanking the Credential Committee in his first political coup, thinking that this was the moral equivolent of actual combat, and actual sucking chest wounds, and actual social unpleasantries...
SO HEY KIDS....
What if it is just time to close down the whole Freaking Zoo, and call the boys home. Collapse the Freaking waste of tax payer's dollars that are the CIA and the DOD, and leave it all in the Hands of Faux News And Friends!!!
Then when they want to PAY our ammo bills, and cover our transportation costs, and our expense reports...
Ah yes, once upon a time one of my evil friends qual'd with the Singapore Rifles... and they have a really groovey idea, they comp you for your civilian gig while you are on active duty....
Hum... maybe then, why gosh, the Pro-War folks would understand why they would want to have some SERIOUS fiscal oversight into the process of when the nation is blowing their tax dollars paying the comps....
WHY GOSH, they might understand the 'well regulated militia' clause as being something a bit more than their concern about the greens fees and getting a good caddy...
Hell the Voting Population would even consider the need to be at least technically competent to offer an opinion about the military style stuff.... Since They ARE the electorate.... And there are some things one just does not out source.
Nah... Not Funny...
Got RoboBushCheney?
They Shiney!!!
They Not bogged down in mere factualism when reminding the vet community that the civilians really just want a death squad collection of moral reprobates to just kill civilians to make it all easier for them.
