Meat puppets 2

Wolcott gets this from Time, re "Operation Swarmer":
...But contrary to what many many television networks erroneously reported, the operation was by no means the largest use of airpower since the start of the war. ("Air Assault" is a military term that refers specifically to transporting troops into an area.) In fact, there were no airstrikes and no leading insurgents were nabbed in an operation that some skeptical military analysts described as little more than a photo op. What’s more, there were no shots fired at all and the units had met no resistance, said the U.S. and Iraqi commanders....
Frankly, if you don't suspect that anything this administration does is a photo-op or smokescreen, you're a hopeless fool. Ceci n'est pas une vraie présidence.
