Iraqis vent rage on call-in TV after bombs kill 43

BAGHDAD, Aug 17 (Reuters) - State television flashed grisly images of the latest bombing victims as the anchor told viewers their squabbling leaders would stabilise the country, in words that could only be termed reassuring in Iraq's chaos.

....

Al-Iraqiya quickly broadcast a call-in show, inviting Iraqis to respond to "the ugly terrorist crime" while broadcasting images of the latest carnage in Baghdad's version of U.S. and British breakfast television.

....

Angry callers yelled while Iraqi officials sat at the negotiating table again after failing to meet an Aug. 15 deadline to draft a constitution.

The anchor urged the officials to finish writing the document after telling Iraqis that Saddam Hussein's police state would never return, words that failed to soothe another caller.

"Instead of Saddam we now have thousands of Saddams," he fumed.

3. "Thousands of Saddams"

The last shred of imagined justification for the invasion of Iraq is gone. This is a very, very important phrase that reveals the true nature of the Republican agenda--death and profiteering.

10. Wow a literalist! Put on your thinking cap.

Thousands of Saddam like thugs running around in Iraq killing innocents. Get it now? Surely this isn't too deep a comment for the average Bushbot to understand.
