about what a fuckin' mess we've made in Iraq.

And if they figure that out, maybe they will recognize what a mess everything else is!

2. I must admit that I did think of that.
Maybe it will change the minds of those people who watch him and like him. Maybe they will get angry about it. Maybe they will stop believing the bull. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. I am probably grasping at straws. The evidence of the horrors caused by Bushco for the last five years has been staring Americans right in the face, yet so many still are blind. In any case, I am praying for their recovery. I am sorry it happened to them.

4. I don't know it depends on what kind of mess you think it is.
I mean people know lots of bad stuff is happening there, but that hasn't convinced them we need to pull out or that it's an insolvable mess.

First, they lose Jennings, & now they might lose Woodruff. Geez. But I'm not making light of this. I was a fan of Jennings & miss him terribly. I truly think an era died with him. And it's sad about Woodruff. It's just getting too crazy over there in Iraq. I really think we are in the middle of a civil war.

11. He has "head injuries' - what
more can be said? This is truly awful. I grieve for him and the photographer and their famiies. Their future may be dire.

12. We are in the middle of a civil war. The language thing really gets me.
Our troops are sent over there by and idiot who can just barely speak his own freaking language. And they are stuck in a country where they cannot communicate with the natives for diddly squat. Even if some of the civil warriors wanted to explain to our troops that they are fighting each other to get control of Iraq and they (our troops) are just in the way. Our troops will be lost in a fog like Bu$h because they do not understand the Iraqi language. Only Bu$hco propaganda.
Peace

6. So many journalists have been killed .....
over there, you'd think they would have gotten a clue already!

They problem is that the talking heads have to answer to their Corporate bosses. They don't have much control over what they focus on, which is something we often forget.

basically he was "asking for it."

Here is a post of mine from tonight about the human cost of this war:

9. The Iraq war crime would not have started if we had real news anchors.
And not propagandist spinning tools. Watch the media try to spin this for the advantage of Bu$hco. If we had real freedom of the press in this country. Al Gore would be our President and we would not have Scalito about to be the checkmate move on a Bu$h dictatorship.

10. That guy from The Today Show died in Iraq from an embolism in his leg
Edited on Sun Jan-29-06 10:19 PM by IanDB1
If Al Queda bombs Fox News, I say we don't retaliate.

Just like Bill O'Reilly said about San Francisco.

Satirical riff. Republican humor, you know.
