Perhaps I am just a bit dense, but I am having a difficult time figuring out exactly what you are trying to say. So I am going to break it down into tiny bites, to try to digest it.
No I'm not reading too much into it as you say. The shallowly,media driven world means next to fuck all regarding what the military gets up to.
Okay, so I guess this is still regarding the conference room photo. Its existence seems to indicate to you that the whole death of Bin Laden has something fishy going on behind it, or did I misread that?
Yes, the shallow media driven world does mean fuck all next to what the military actually gets up to. We don't even know the half of it. But a historic event like the death of Bin Laden is to become public information, and is going to sell a lot of papers and generate a lot of buzz, a picture for the occasion seems reasonable enough. I don't see the issue?
I am sure you are trying to make some kind of a point here, but it is going way over my head. :( Some smaller words perhaps, or better yet, some bigger ones.
This isn't/wasn't a Hollywood motion picture, or tabloid press exclusive. This was a Military operation. Give me an example of a relative Military op where I can gauge some kind of relation to it.
I am having a hard time deciphering that last sentence. You want an example of a related military operation so that you can measure some kind of relation to it???
Are seriously asking for a similar military operation where the press took staged photos in order to have something to print in the papers along with the story, as if this is something ridiculous and unheard of? That is probably not at all what you are asking, like I said, I am having some difficulties here.
Okay the gauge/relation line was stoopid, you got me on that one. The point I was trying to make was that it all seemed too contrived. His apparent death and sea burial, (no need for proof of that, you just take our word for it) where was the obligatory photo of the wrapped carcass going overboard and cheesy smiles and thumbs up from Navy personnel? I dunno, something about the whole thing just didnt seem kosher. Maybe its just me.
