IRAQ 28/10/2004 12:14
TV REPORTER ASSASSINATED IN BAGHDAD
General, Brief

Liqaa Abdul-Razzaq, a popular Iraqi TV reporter, was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Baghdad. She was assassinated while returning home from her offices of the local ‘Al-Sharqiya’ TV network, which she had worked for since last year after a long period with the State TV as news conductor during the regime of Saddam Hussein. Two months ago, her husband was killed in analogous and still unclear circumstances. Liqaa Abdul-Razzaq was mother of a 6-year-old boy and just a month ago gave birth to a girl.

5. All of you Bushistas voting for Bush because your moral values ask you to
defend THE RIGHT TO LIFE ..... what say you to this massacre unleashed by the bush cartel which leaves a six year old boy and a two months old girl fatherless and motherless.

Do the twins read this? Are they touched by any of this? If they do how can they go HAPPY PARTY VOTE FOR MY DADDY RALLIES ALL OVER THE PLACE?

and what about HONORABLE MATRIARCH BABS is her brain too precious too to see what her son's SAVE-THE-WORLD-FROM-DICTATORS-SHOVE-DEMOCRACY-DOWN-THEIR-THROATS is concocting on innocent people?

Dear Bushistas of the RIGHT TO LIFE do you not PUKE all over when you read about what the bush world domination march is doing to the world?

No. I gues not. I guess for you it is SOLIDARITY FOREVER!

8. and thousands more besides this poor victim
and her two surviving babies.

the twins have most likely assumed the mind set of the whole rotten family. Why should they bother their beautiful minds about these little people dying? They are rich, spend inordinate amounts of money on "fashion" have no discernable plans for any sort of a job--will probably do what their slimy father did and wait around for him to get them a job Laura defends him by saying he really is a soft guy and people do not know that part of him.

May they get thrown out of our house, uncerimoniously, when Kerry wins and take their pigs, all of them, with them back to Crawford to wallow in the mud and eat corn cobs.

16. I would be willing to bet
the contents of my bank account, slim as it is, that the tequila twins are unaware that people are dying in Iraq. They remind me of Jeff Spicoli -- party on, dude.

9. All that can ever matter is that Bush supporters are satisfied.

How could you be so thoughtless? No price is too great for all other living creatures to pay on the way to their domination.

We'd all better take a lesson, and get in line quickly! It's what Jezus would want us to do.

17. Not all Right to Lifers are Bushies, you know
There are a lot of good Catholics who support Pro-Life causes that are good Democrats as well. So please try not to mix us up with terrorists.

10. Iraqi newsreader shot dead in Baghdad
Iraqi newsreader shot dead in Baghdad
(Filed: 28/10/2004)

Gunmen have killed an Iraqi newsreader on her way home from work just two months after her husband was murdered.

The mother of a month-old baby and six-year-old boy had just finished a shift at al-Sharqiya television in Baghdad when she was shot, her employers said.

Liqaa Abdul-Razzaq was a popular presenter who had worked for Iraqi state television before last year's war that toppled Saddam Hussein.

The motive for the killing was not clear.

14. Either Americans are crazy, or the polls are messed up.
Bigtime. How can the chimp even be close in the polls with the news coming out of Iraq? It just doesn't make any sense. I'm starting to wonder if some people are voting for bush because they feel sorry for him. He's phucked up so badly they want to give him time to fix the mess he's made. Too bad he's never had the ability to fix his messes. That task always falls to poopy's rich friends. Maybe we should hand the bill for fixing Iraq to poopy and let his pals take care of it.

15. It's so screwed up - that's why we must stay the course!
Anything else and our soldiers died in vain, and 32 years from now Unarmored Hummer Veterans For Truth will destroy anyone who protested against the war and is running for President in 2036! We must trap all the terrorists inside Iraq so we won't have to fight them in Madrid! Saddam was giving WMD to UN inspectors so they could pretend to find them and just forestall the US invasion! It's all the Russians' fault! Just drink this nice tasty Koolaid I have here and all will make sense to you!

24. If this is freedom, I would hate to see what anarchy looks like.
We have so bungled this occupation that I don't think a decade is long enough to begin to see positive changes occur.

We have another Vietnam on our hands and won't admit it.

25. I feel so bad for her and her family
this is another example of the horrible tragedies that have happened as a DIRECT RESULT of Asshat's fascist policies. It's sickening. My heart goes out to all the people of Iraq.

28. I wonder why they shot her. She reads news, which isn't exactly very
threatening. Other than to kill high-profile people and to show you can get away with it to further frighten the Iraqis.
