I feel somewhat vindicated that almost all media outlets are rightfully referring to the American presence in Iraq as "the occupation".

Finally, some truth from the whore press.

4. The pukes demonize liberals constantly. And now they are liberators?
See it is just too damn hard to believe that line of crap if you are not an idiot. That the GOP would liberate people. Maybe liberate them from all their money. Now I could believe that. But real freedom and liberty for people who are not already rich and are not white. Not the GOP that I know. I saw them run to the Supreme Court instead of just counting votes. Like people with common decency would do. Though when it comes to Bu$h: "There isn`t anything common or decent about him." So why should his blind followers act any differently. "Blame Clinton" will always be the Bu$h Inc./GOP mantra.

2. also another teeeny change...
I actually heard someone on CNN - and saw a reference in the Washington Post to the GUERRILLA fighters in Iraq. Every other account...especially by Rummy and Bremer, uses the term "terrorist." The people who are resisting the occupation have been called terrorists so that the connection between Iraq and terrorism remains.

Inch by inch... maybe.
