NPR airs the most horrific story I have heard from Iraq
Edited on Mon Aug-07-06 10:46 AM by ECH1969
OMG, listen to this NPR story. It is beyond sickening it is the most sad story I have heard from Iraq.

My God, killing people over selectively arranging veggies and not dipering goats.

for those that want to hear it.

2. Yeah, and the fighting in Iraq is not their "headline" news. They are
headlining with Israel-Lebanon fighting. It is awful stuff, and anyone listening can hear that there is a civil war going on.

4. I think that report was a fluff piece...or propaganda by the Bushies.
There's alot worse going on in Iraq that those silly stories trying to make it sound like the Shia are imposing religious restrictions on vegetable placed in suggestive ways or keeping goats "privates" diapered.

I thought it was disgusting and shallow reporting. :-(

9. still, get bush first...
extremism will happen as long as bush is in there, he needs it. to restore law to iraq, we gotta get rid of bush....
don't blame the victims....
that santorum guy brought a fetus home, a dead baby, and they partayed with it, he and his wife/kids. when a football team drank beer on weekend trip a couple years ago, the school had the boys polygraphed, those who denied drinking a beer were kicked outta school (the parents begged mercy, and cried when denied)...a high school principal ordered the girls at a prom to publicly expose their underthings to see who wore thongs; several hysterial girls were sent home....
the gopigs won 3, that's 3, congressional races in the '02 midterm elections by exactly 18181 votes...it was obviously a screwup by gopig hackers, but it didn't matter: iraq consumes the american people's entire critical energy, 'they better act right, or we'll just keep up bury their babies alive' :)

10. Riverbend paints a disturbingly similar picture
of the religious fanatics in control. Her May 31 blog entry about the enthusiastic shopkeeper who displayed a Brazilian flag during the World Cup is almost as extreme: http://riverbendblog.blogspot.com/.

It's not propaganda from the Bushies from her perspective. Her Iraq wasn't like that before they had "Democracy."
