I just heard on the radio almost 100 people killed in 1 bombing in Iraq. |
|
The costs of bush's Iraqi blunder is paid by our troops, the poor Iraqis, in blood, in death, in billions of $s, in the terrorists created there, in the terrorists who get trained there, and by the millions of families world wide that get to feel the pain of loss to this madness. With all that how does bush sleep? I bet you he is bass fishing on his photo op ranch today.
:cry:

1. Iraq is now infested with Al Qaeda, thanks to W. |
|
Even the LTTE in our conservative town are taking notice of the mess Bush* has put us in, here, with our finances, etc. The only total loyalists he has are the shiite "right-to-life" anti-choice, anti-stem cell research people.

4. I doubt it's Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda is just a tool created by BushCo for |
|
political purposes. It's unclear that there even IS such a group.

5. That was exactly what was on the news though, for the last couple of |
|
days after these attacks -- that it was al qaeda behind it. Frankly, I think it's a combination of different groups with varying causes.
Poor Iraqis.

8. Al Qaeda is an American franchise |
|
Al Qaeda is an Amerikan franchise. It ensures a continued large market share for the war and energy industries worldwide. Terror is good for business. Al Qaeda is good for business. And as any true believer will tell you, good business is good for Democracy!
Oh yeah. Seems to me anyone who straps on a weapon or resorts to desperate measures against the occupation of Iraq, is now a proud instant owner of an Al Qaeda franchise.
:-)
Begs a whole new meaning to the term "Ownership Society", huh?
Now put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!

2. Someone bombed a Shi'ite mosque. It was a mosque, for crying out loud! |
|
Who the hell would intentionally target a mosque full of unarmed worshippers?

3. My guess would be Sunni Bathists who were loyal to Saddam ..... |
|
.....and now are out of power. God Damn bush for not reading or even talking to people who knew about Iraq before starting this nightmare.
In Feb of '03 I heard an ex CIA head from Iraq on NPR say that Iraq had 103 different sides and the problems would start once we got "control of Baghdad."
Welcome to Civil War.

7. The civil war between Sunni and Shiite is happening along with Bush's war |
|
It's been gaining in violence lately but US papers report everything as AlQueda, Zarquari or "insurgents" to keep the terror threat alive.

9. "It'll get better when the Iraqi constitution is in place, next week!" |

Edited on Sun Jul-17-05 11:00 AM by Hubert Flottz
That's what a neocon said on Con-artistNewsNetwork about three days ago.
Just like it did when Baghdad "fell"
Just like it did when Saddam's statues and pictures came down
Just like it did when the Mission Was Accomplished Just like it did when they captured Saddam's sons
Just like it would when they captured Saddam
Just like it would when they captured _______________ Insert each name.
Just like it would when the Iraqis took over the police and military in Iraq.
Just like it would when we handed over sovereignty to the Iraqis
Just like it would when they secured Iraq's borders and all the conventional weapons and WMD Saddam had stashed.
Just like it would when Bus...err...um...the Iraqi People elected the new leaders bushco wanted them to elect
Just like it would when they captured the number three terraist in Iraq 41 times and counting
Just like it did when they sent the Maj.General from Gitmo to Iraq to see that the prisoners were mis-treated well
Just like it did when they sent General Boykin and Negreponte there to form the new Iraqi death squads now working in Iraq and Afghanistan
Just like it would when Bush let 20,000 American troops come home and had to send 50,000 more troops right back to Iraq
Just like it will when we pay out billions for fixing what Bushco broke there and war trinkets
Just like it did when Bush made his historic flight to Baghdad bearing a rubber turkey and more Bullshit, for the troops, who Halliburton had been serving outdated food and fuel with water in it to.
Needless to say, I never believed the guy on CNN the other day and I never believed any of the other lies I listed above.

11. If It Isn't In The Green Zone...We Won't See It |
|
Right nbow CNNServative has a "live" report about Saddam being charged...yet not a word yet about the bombings. Of course whatever we do see or hear will be a quick blurb with a shrug by the pretty anchor lady. Move along. Next Larry King interviews another Charlatan.

17. If a hundred people were killed in Amurka in one day |
|
There would be 24/7 media coverage on every network, five new country songs about boots up Muslim asses, FreakRepublic would exceed bandwith within two hours and there would be at least fifty DU threads about it.
BTW, did you miss the sarcasm icon in my previous post?
