MSM; 1 Sentence; 3 False Assertions; 4 False Insinuations
Edited on Mon Jun-06-05 02:08 AM by LynnTheDem
Reassure Americans of their "good intentions" even when it's "shock & awe" bombing the f*ck out of people in a nation that hadn't been doing a damn thing to anyone. And then lie lie lie.

It's the MSM Waltz!

The road to hell, America...just keep on paving...

Good Intentions Gone Bad (Iraq)

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/8101422/site/newsweek/

***1 Sentence; 3 False Assertions; 4 False Insinuations***

"Iraq now has an elected government, popular at least among Shiites and Kurds, who give it strong approval ratings."

-"Iraq now has an elected government"

1. Reassure the sheeple: Now that Iraq "has an elected government", that makes up for almost everything, you see.

2. Even though that "justification" for invading a nation wasn't the reason given for invading that nation.

3. Even though in fact Iraq has had elected governments in the past.

4. Even though the "elected" part of this one is highly debatable; elections under foreign armed occupation, under martial law, under foreign armed occupiers' control, during a raging war. Who elected Chalabi, by the way?

-"popular at least among Shiites and Kurds"

5. ALWAYS blame the Sunnis for everything. Sunnis = Clenis.

6. And did I mention LIE?

-who give it strong approval ratings.

7. Oh? "...recent polls conducted by Baghdad University show confidence of the new government flagging sharply, to 45 percent, down from an 85 percent rating immediately after the election.

I did mention LIE, didn't I? Or perhaps they mean "strong approval ratings" in comparison to bush's.

double letters; 'nn' and 'ss'...that's God's code to the rightwingnuts;

Sunnis and Clenis are the cause for every rightwing failure & woe.
