Powell, in Baghdad, Suggests That Critics 'Hold Their Fire'

BAGHDAD, Sept. 14 -- Secretary of State Colin L. Powell said today that he was "deeply impressed" by the progress of the U.S.-led effort to reconstruct Iraq and guide the country toward self-rule despite continuing attacks on American forces and critical infrastructure.

....

Although Powell spent the day in a high-security bubble and met only with Iraqis who had been vetted by the U.S. occupation authority, he expressed satisfaction with the pace of the American reconstruction effort, which has been criticized as too slow by many ordinary Iraqis.

....

"We are not occupiers. . . . We are liberators," he said. "

2. BRING IT ON-- g . w. bush (chimpanzee in charge May 2003)

Every day this is the story. I wonder how many arms and legs were blown off?

3. I just keep getting this image of Germans saying

"Ve are not occupiers. . . . Ve are liberators,"

4. Ya, he didn't talk with people who wept beyond the barbed wire.

"HELP US, MR. POWELL," one reporter said a woman cried. And the had photos of people who couldn't be found. And cries about sick children. God, this is terrible.

7. Rocket propelled grenade attacks in the center of the capital city?

That's Powell's idea of great progress!?!

5. I'm back! FUCK YOU BUSH!

FUCK YOU AND YOUR ILLEGITIMATE WAR.

[catmandu57]

6. Yeah, I missed your FUCK YOU BUSH

good to see it again, and on it goes. We're stuck on a wheel that gathers speed of it's own volition, every day it demandes more blood to fuel it's crazy wobble, bush* and co. are only too happy to supply the fuel.

It doesn't care whose blood, american, iraqi, english, man, woman, or child, just like a junkie with a habit demanding to be fed. Only now, the powers that be are starting to shake their heads, they want to stop the crazy spin, but, don't know how.

While some are scratching their heads wondering how to jump off before inertia flings them off, others are spellbound, screaming with delight, screaming faster, faster.

Who is going to win? I don't know, how do you win when everyone loses?

11. Welcome back Josh

I too missed your FUCK YOU BUSH !!!!

8. another funeral Chimpy will skip...

Another coffin the press will meekly forgo showing coming in at Dover....

[saigon68]

10. No show at Dover-- base closed to the press.

The military say they are doing this out of respect to the families.

And if you believe that Crap there is a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.

What ever happend to the public's right to know?

9. He thought he was fighting for the Iraqi people's freedom....

He died for Cheney's oil lust.

[LibDemAlways]

12. Apparently the Iraqis

still think there's a war on. They clearly are not interested in US efforts to "reconstruct" them or occupy them. This is nothing more than a giant oil grab gone bad fuck up that is costing American lives. If we had a free press the entire chimp administration would already be behind bars.
