Fred Barnes on Wash. Journal gave his game away

this a.m. Fred was a guest on WJ cause he recently came back from Iraq where he was touring the mass graves.

he was touring the mass graves because he says there has not been enough reports on them and he needed to "play them up", his actual words.

hhmmmmm wonder who gave him his agenda?

so watch as Freddie "plays them up"

3. the White House is open about it
they explicitly said to the network news anchors, go to Iraq and do some positive stories, and the anchors pretty quickly obliged.

They did the same thing with the war last year, Rove gave a speech on a Sunday saying enough of the war coverage, start covering the troops coming home, and by Wednesday all the networks took down their war graphics and suddenly the war was over.

6. In Iraq or in Arlington National Cemetary?
If in Iraq, were they caused by Saddam or US cluster bombs?

7. I heard him say that
And did a double-take. What in the world was that supposed to mean. I was just waiting for someone to call in and ask him about the mass graves that we are creating.

8. I'm sure he did tour mass graves. 100,000 killed in Iraq War I
Of course they buried their own after Desert Storm.

9. Mass Usa graves?
How many did we kill with our smart bombs?

Chalabi took the records from Saddam Palace. Where are they?

A report said they listed all arrests, torture and missing for past ten years.

Bush executed far more than Saddam during that period.

Saddam 100 Bush over 150.

Will we ever see the report again?

Bush Voodoo encouraged the massacre of tens of thousands of kurds with his invitation for them to overthrow Saddmam then gave them no support.

Vush Voodoo I Vush Voodoo II

Nice people?

11. all of which means Jack Shit
Edited on Mon Apr-19-04 12:03 PM by CatWoman
we didn't Invade Iraq to dig up mass graves, or to do DNA tests on corpses, any more than we invaded to tour rape rooms.

I'm so sick of hearing their excuses for invasion related program activities.
