It's not too hard to find, but I found it too funny not to post.

The "Help the poor for tax cuts for billionaires" and "As fixed as a Florida election" lines?

Nope. It's in the first few paragraphs.

You're on the right track; it has to do with time...

d and awed" by Bush's surprise appearance. I would have thought most of the troops, many of whom are support personnel who work relatively normal working hours, would have been more surprised when they were ordered to get up before sunrise to eat Thanksgiving dinner between 6:00 and 7:30 A.M.

Am I right?

Depends. What exactly is wrong with that paragraph?

Support personel do not have a normal work time?~Jason

TIME ZONES, people. The story broke around 10 AM on Thursday, which would make it 6PM, not 6AM, in Baghdad. Something this fellow couldn't grasp.

Hmm.

So most of it is bunk?

The part about Bush making soldiers get up at the crack of dawn to eat Thanksgiving food is. What's most amusing about this is that the guy apparently thought he had stumbled upon a huge story that the rest of the media ignored, which backfired on him pretty soundly.

I don't know about the rest of the article though, it reads like a stock anti-Bush diatrabe.
