How AlHurra Int Ended "Good Job" - "Thank, you, Mr. President*
A proof of how the US Govt Funded Arabic Language Network is a propoganda shill-otherwise, why would Bush be patting the interviewer on the head?

2. No surprise here
I suppose the people/sheeple here are fooled but the Arabs certainly are not. Whether Bushco like Aljazeera/not it would have reached a larger audience in the world and seemed more genuine than a US controlled media but I guess that was the point controlled propaganda to Iraq and the US..

3. I was surprised that was part of the video on Cspan
Edited on Wed May-05-04 01:33 PM by Dac_76
did Cspan WANT people to hear that comment? Will it be edited out later? (Feel need to record).

Some points I found obnoxious.
Iraqis want a peaceful life (or 500 variations of that phrase.)-What about the AMERICAN soldiers who are over fighting a Bullsh*t war that want the same things? Does Iraq take priority over America?

We fully investigate in America. Yuh-huh. And this is the week of Joseph Wilson/Valerie Plame of almost one year. Where's the investigation about WH lying to Congress about Medicare? Where's the investigation about the Afghanistan money going to Iraq secretly instead? Why did the WH stonewall about the 911 commission if full investigations are the norm? Why isn't Bush telling Cheney to cough up the info on the energy commish?

Innocent until proven guilty. UNLESS we want to call you an enemy combatant, then we SUSPEND the bill of rights and constitution.

4. WHAT? b*co does more control of the media???
There's surprise! Maybe a lot more like "gambling in Casablanca??"
TOTAL DISGRACE of an interview ... and the Arab world (along with the rest of the world) is NOT going to put up with it, him or his neo-con cartel ...
:grr:
