1. Something's surging. nt

[lonestarnot]

17. Yes. Death is surging.

[Norquist Nemesis]

2. Noticed yesterday that "insurgents" and "militias" are all generically

al Qaeda now. Wish so much that I could believe the "news" as they report it; so very much. :(

It just seems to me that now that the escalation is in full mode, it's now all of a sudden only fighting al Qaeda (they've even dropped the "in Iraq" moniker). So, the 29% grows as their firm belief of fighting 'the al Qaeda Terrorists who want to kill us for our freedoms!' gets reinforced. Another 33% who aren't paying close attention allows 'U.S. troops fighting al Qaeda today ...' gets subliminally planted. *sigh*

3. Most dumb ass Americans think the whole population of Iraq are terrorists.

I hate bullshit lies, I prefer a really good, slick, believable lie, but these lousy excuses and word games just piss me off. We are conquering the middle east now, like we conquered this continent, they should just come out and say it.

6. The Iraq Study Group had the #s of al Qaeda in Iraq as less than 4,000

With the vast majority of "them" being Iraqis. Although Iraq is now the #1 training ground for
anti western Islamic terrorists who "study" there and take their skills home and other places too.

14 U.S. Soldiers :patriot:

:cry:

7. Look what they did to us with boxcutters, from a cave even.

These Al Qaeda guys are so evil, just one of them can bring the U.S. to it's knees, so we're fighting 4000 Osamas! People just LOVE Batman villains.

11. So that's where Snowjob and Terrorist Bush got there

latest slogan, the New Way Forward.

16. Gotta love those clever operation names.

[Seedersandleechers]

21. Where is that Australian reporter from CNN?

I haven't seen him for ages. He was the only one I found creditable...Maybe a much needed long vacation? Wish he were back..

[whopis01]

25. The insurgents and militias are al Qaeda...

The insurgents and militias have always been al Qaeda.

[ananda]

4. The surge is a great success..

.. at getting more people killed, including our own.

Wow! Bushworld, where failure is the only option.

"I'm the most successful failure and fuckup the world
has ever known.''

5. Geez, I didn't see that in the morning paper

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

8. I ask: are the neocons and their cronies really worth all this loss of life?

I don't think the arrogant criminals are worth a damn dime!!!

(Hell, I think each and every one should be tried, convicted and jailed the rest of their natural lives!!!)

14. Bob Dylan put it nicely in "Masters of War"

"You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins."

[nancyr]

18. But, thank God they weren't frozen embryos!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

20. bush never met a frozen embryo he didn't love, and never saw

the burial of the troops whose lives he tosses aside like garbage.

[endarkenment]

19. How long are we going to put up with this shit?

What are they dying for, other than Bush's exit strategy from the white house?

How can we accept this?

[Philosoraptor]

22. Awfully sporting of us isn't it?

We Americans, just pay us off and leave us alone and entertain us and you can do pretty much anything you want.

[HowHasItComeToThis]

23. HERE IS GEORGE'S TAKE

Destroying human life in the hopes of saving human life is not ethical.” “a nation founded on the principle that all human life is sacred.”

[fishnfla]

24. Any comments from our presidential candidates? eom

27. Couric mentioned it 7 minutes into her "show" after the "important" air pollution piece

How in the hell do these "reporters" pretend to be authentic? And Couric had the gall to accuse Jon Stewart of reporting fake news. She should be ashamed. Truly disgusting.
