George Stephanopoulos Inflated Casualty Reports
George Stephanopoulos at the end of his Feb 8th "This Week" Show, while Smiling from ear to ear, Said "We had 4 Soldiers Killed in Iraq Last Week" We went to the United States Central Command Web site: http://www.centcom.mil/CENTCOMNews/casualties.asp
and learned that their were only 2. (I wish their were none.)
So we called George Stephanopoulos and "This Week" show on this and Said:
You must think we viewers are too dumb to look up Facts. You said at the end of Your Program "We had 4 Soldiers Killed in Iraq Last Week"- Wrong! Why Do you tell these lies? Go to the United States Central Command Web site, Click on Casualty Reports for week Feb 1-7. There were only 2 Deaths-Are You playing politics with the lives of our soldiers? You were Smiling from Ear to Ear. You should apologize! When their is not enough deaths, you make up 2 More!
This Week Wrote Back:
With all due respect, we would never play politics with the lives of the
men and women who pay the ultimate sacrifice. Our information comes
directly to from the U.S. Military. The website you refer to is not
always up to date. Our intention in mentioning those who've died in
Iraq is to honor those who serve and pay the ultimate price. I'm sorry
you feel we would purposely air incorrect information.

Wrong Again! The United States Central Command Said the Casualty Reports are correct! We watched the show today for corrections. Their were no Corrections, but instead of Smiling He showed the Bodies of the Dead in Iraq. Is George blaming the United States Soldiers for these bodies?
