Anyone else bugged by MSM hypocrisy of the tsunami vs. Iraq victims?
Anyone else disgusted with these reporters who are endlessly feigning sympathy for these tsunami victims yet have done no reporting on similar Iraq civilan victims? I can't even watch these knuckleheads anymore. They're like a pack of show ponies and laughing hyenas.

1. i made a similar comment to my colleagues the other day
hearing the over hundred thousand lives lost, i said, "and to think, more iraqis have been killed since the illegal invasion."

but most americans don't think this way, they don't care... they're idiots.

4. Not to mention all the refugees and injured...
Just from all the bombings, the sanctions, and the first Gulf War the estimates are 1.5 million deaths. From DU causing cancer and deformities, to basic starvation. And now the US shows they can make 90,000 gallons of fresh water a day off one simple aircraft carrier. As a matter of fact, it's the same aircraft carrier (USS A. Lincoln) that has been in Iraq the last two years. Yet that has been one of the biggest causes of death in Iraq. No fresh water. Oh, the hypocrisy.

5. Since Dec. 26, 2004...
...as I've watched tens of thousands of bodies wash up on the shores of SE Asia due to a NATURAL catastrophe, I couldn't shake the images of the same number of bloodied human beings lying in the streets of Iraq DUE TO A MAN-MADE ONE. And the MAN who MADE that catastrophe is GWB.

But then again, I'm not a Faux News-slurping brain-dead American. The irony of the US literally INVENTING massive new killing fields in Iraq while "A FEW GOOD MEN" are flying around in choppers off an aircraft carrier in the Indian Ocean "playing the good guys" in certainly not lost on me.

John Wayne is fucking dead. The government of India is attempting to point this out to the US as we speak.
