CNN has a 'countdown to ceasefire' timeline now. Who honestly

[babylonsister]

believes all firing will cease?

[bluestateguy]

1. I'm more interested in domestic issues anyway

Lunchbucket bread and butter issues: health care, education, environment, health care, jobs, gas prices.

2. How refreshing would it be if the media whores and the admin felt

the same way?

3. i saw that

damn insane countdown clock at the left of the screen as if this entire thing is a joke or a new years eve event . A cease fire is just that , you stop now not in 2 days . I have never heard of anything like this , good thing we did not have this during the cuban missile crisis .

4. They are killing people right now, but it is okay with the world since

they say they will stop dropping bombs and destroying their neighboring country on Monday.

Too bad for the men, women and children who die between now and then. Bye bye little girl, just your bad luck you couldn't have escaped the bombs just one more day.

How sick is this.

5. Aren't they supposed to stop killing on the Sabbath anyway?

[TomInTib]

6. That was yesterday (Saturday). nt

[postulater]

8. Right, I know, so why didn't they take the day off?

Heck, some of my Jewish neighbors don't even drive a car on Saturday, how can they fire a weapon?

[TomInTib]

11. For the same reason they will not follow any cease-fire.

The bastards

9. Has anyone been taking the Sabbath off? nt

14. It's just not the same...

The countdown just isn't the same since Ryan Seacrest took over from Dick Clark....

Seriously, the CNN countdown clock is one of the more bizarre things I've seen lately. They are bragging that they have reporters in all the most important areas of the middle east to let us know how everything is at 0:00. It reminds me of new year's eve 2000-- reporters around the world waiting for the clock to countdown and chaos to ensue.

16. It's no longer a 'war', it's a spectacle and distraction. How pathetic

is this?:(
