No more body counts of Sunni insurgents. Everybody is an Al Qaida? How do they tally the body counts of Al Qaida considering they don't wear uniforms. I thought there were only a few thousand foreign fighters in Iraq anyway? At this rate there should only be a thousand or 2 left.

Anybody smell propaganda?

3. IF the end result is to increase support for this
and future wars, then yes, every Iraqi is Al-queda. If this meme works, then I expect support for the Iraq war to increase and wont that be convenient for the Republicans during election season?

Remember, a majority of Americans at one time believed Saddam Hussein had something to do with 9/11/01. All thanks to lies spread by the corporate media.

5. You must admit, Rove is a genius and many Americans are idiots.
America will hear so much about the war in Iraq really being a war against Al Q between now and 11/2008. Democratic contenders better prepare for this onslaught.

6. You are way behind - every bad guy throughout history
has been Al Qaeda. Hitler was part of it as was Stalin. Al Qaeda kidnapped the Lindbergh baby. They held up banks and robbed trains in the west during the 19th century. Pirates of the Caribbean? Bullshit - they were al Qaeda. They have been around for a long time - crucified jeezus ya know.

7. Yah they're all al-kaders and they all have maps to your hometown.
After we pull out of Iraq they have orders to buy a plane ticket to America and blow up your hometown.

They might hide in your closet for awhile or maybe your basement.

8. Every insurgent is Al Qaida and stay tuned for next week's discovery...........
of the missing WMDs. The stench of legacy fabrication and preservation is in the air (cough-cough, choke-choke).

9. Yes, and in another report it likened the latest to the Falluja fight
against al Quada there... Refresh me if I'm wrong, wasn't it insurgents back then?

10. MAJOR propoganda
I had the same thought as you. All the 'insurgents' killed are Al Qaeda according to reports by the military.

makes it sound like there is one group causing all the problem, Al Qaeda - which is totally false.

11. hence, the reason more people believe the saddam/9/11 connection
now more than three years ago. Propaganda does work in a closed media society.

12. Just as it has been for the past few years, the Media does
not question the lies of the Busholini Regime. Ever wonder why that is?
