Afghanistan.
1:17:05
Afghanistan?
1:17:06
Hm. Oh yeah, they had an army.
1:17:08
Our army!
1:17:10
I guess that's one way to build a coalition:
1:17:13
just keep invading countries.
1:17:16
Yes, with our mighty coalition intact,we were ready.
1:17:20
One could almost say it's the mother of all coalitions.
1:17:26
Fortunately we have an independent media
1:17:28
in this country who would tell us the truth.
1:17:31
The rallying around the President, around the flag,
1:17:33
and around the troops clearly has begun.
1:17:36
And we're gonna win!
1:17:37
You really have to be with the troops to understand
1:17:38
the kind of adrenaline rush they get.
1:17:40
I just want you to know I think Navy SEALS rock.
1:17:42
The pictures you're seeing
1:17:44
are absolutely phenomenal.
1:17:46
When my country's at war, uh,
1:17:48
I want my country to win.
1:17:50
Iraqi opposition has faded
1:17:52
in the face of American power.
1:17:54
What you're watching here
1:17:55
is truly historic television and journalism.
1:17:58
It was absolutely electrifying.
1:18:00
They actually had to strap me in
1:18:01
with my camera in the back of the plane.
1:18:04
An awesome synchronized killing machine.
1:18:06
There is an inherent bias in the coverage
1:18:09
of the American press in general.
1:18:11
Am I slanted and biased?
1:18:12
You're damned well bet I am.
1:18:18
But one story the media wasn't covering
1:18:20
was the personal story of each and every soldier
1:18:24
who was killed in the war.
1:18:26
The government would not allow any cameras
1:18:28
to show the coffins coming home.
1:18:31
That kind of story is a downer,
1:18:34
especially when you're getting ready
1:18:36
for a party on a boat.
