Corporate Media Grooms “Diplomatic Row” Over “Kidnapped” Brit Marines
By Kurt Nimmo
"Call it déjà vu, Lebanon style. “Iran kidnaps Marines at gunpoint,” declares the Belfast Telegraph, as if the Royal Marines captured on the Iranian side of the Shatt al-Arab waterway were grabbed while on an afternoon stroll in Seaforth. Terri Judd, aboard HMS Cornwall in the Persian Gulf, tells us the marines were “overpowered and taken into Iranian national waters,” same as Hezbollah attacked Israel last summer, capturing two Israeli soldiers, sparking Israel’s attack on the country. However, as we know, the soldiers were captured at the village of Aitaa al-Chaab, well inside Lebanon’s southern territory, a fact initially reported by at least a few members of the corporate media, that is until they were handed the approved script.....
Meanwhile, the incident is left to roil and baste in the corporate media, an obedient tool for neocons and neolibs alike. “British officials were wary of drawing the conclusion that the incident was a deliberate provocation by Tehran, which denies Western accusations that its nuclear energy program is a front for developing atomic arms,” the Post continues. As usual, in Bushzarro world, up is down and black is white. In fact, the Brits appear to be guilty of staging “a deliberate provocation” by taunting the Iranians, who are rightfully paranoid of having their cities and populace shock and awed by the neocons."
