Oh golly gee this bombing today will ruin the WH rosey Iraq pr campaign

[59millionmorons]

This will smack that big lie down real fast. Now what will they talk about today on the talk shows. Today they were supposed to continue the Iraq is doing great pr campaign, now they will be stuck talking about what happened.

[revcarol]

1. That's just the Iraqi focus group.

To be ignored.

[Saudade]

2. Bring 'em On!

Perhaps Bush should point out that this bombing is yet another example of how right he was when he said that we are "taking the fight to the terrorists"!

This is an example of engaging the terrorists on their own turf rather than in Iowa!

BRING EM ON!!!

[Spazito]

3. CTV News in Canada reported that there were 28 attacks...

on US soldiers between Friday morning and Saturday evening, this does not include this latest bombing. How does this jive with "happy, happy days" in Iraq? I don't have a link but it was on the 11 pm news.

Edited to add link:

Look on the right side of the page, click on Kathy Tomlinson's report.

6. 28 attacks and we weren't told of any.

I'm sure CNN is being told to stop broadcasting the scenes from the suicide bombing.

[Ilsa]

11. I saw that report from the other thread, and

they had some video of "This is what the White House wants the American people to see: little Iraqi boys learning to play football with the help of American soldiers." (Thanks for that link.)

My husband told me Thursday morning that CNN had just commented that 1700 soldiers have been wounded. They totally backtracked on Abizaid's report the previous week about almost 6800 soldiers having gone through Landstuhl air base hospital.

4. The pundits will just ignore the latest bombing...

The shameful WH puppets will continue whith their rants about how wonderful things are in Iraq. They will probably send out another phony letter from the troops in Iraq.

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

5. They will say --

"That's OK! They were planning to re-decorate anyway!"

"And just as many people die and get injured, statistically, in American hotels everyday!"

[JeebusH]

7. Just heard James Wooley (former CIA director) on Today ...

such shit; "It's all former Saddam loyalists, once all caught it will be Springtime in Baghdad ... Shi'ites won't be a problem, they like us, garbage/crap/etc"

[ProudGerman]

9. bullshit

How can all these attacks be perpertrated by only Saddam loyalists? Saddam is long gone, to who knows where. So who are they fighting for? Also, what are they fighting for? If we pull out, and Saddam steps back in, they must know that Bunnypants will invade yet again to save face.

Saddam loyalists.....egads, they think we are stupid. I thought Saddam was hated by everyone, except those who were in power, and ruled with a gun to the back of his supporters. Well, we've caught everyone who was in power and supported him, so who are these people that are committing the daily attacks? The man can't be universally hated by his people, and have thousands upon thousands of supporters who are so loyal as to commit these acts of aggression (mostly suicidal aggression) long after his disappearance.

Maybe, just maybe, these attacks are carried out by Iraqi's who don't rather like the idea of a foreign military ruling them. And just maybe, these unhappy Iraqi nationalists are being trained and organized by the Republican Guard elements that were defending Baghdad during the war that simply up and vanished for no apparent reason.

Hmmmm, nahhhh, that can't be it.

[JeebusH]

10. of course Jamese didn't mentioned the

thousands of Shi'ites who marched against the U.S. early this week

[Ilsa]

13. Shi'ites like us? HA!

They ar forming a competing governing counsel to the coalition governing counsel! More lies to sell this damn war.

Why can't Bush see that he's playing us right into terrorist's hands? OBL watched the USSR go broke over the cold war, and the terrorists are trying to do the same to the US with this war on terrorism. People aren't getting it what they just said on MTP: that the state deficits and federal deficits are inticately linked.

[displacedtexan]

8. did you see the US soldier this morning after the blast?

he shoved his hand in front of the CNN camera.

later, andrea koppel actually said that the bush PR campaign had to deal with the images of attacks like today's. if you were listening carefully, it seemed she was hinting that they didn't want the truth to be told. andrea koppel? amazing!

the bushie are so stupid that they have iraqi policemen wearing armbands that read MP. duh. first mistake: iraqis read from right to left; second: the average iraqi would respond better to 'iraqi police' than to 'PM.'

bogles the mind, doesn't it?

[VelmaD]

12. THey just ignore it or minimzie it...

just finished listening to Mitch McConnell ramble on on Fox News SUnday about how it's the media's fault because "good news isn't news". His answer - put the imbedded reporters back in with the military so they can tell teh "real" story. *rolls eyes*

My favorite part...he went to Mosul and met with a local council. And gee whiz golly they held and actual election and the people picked their representatives. Would be nice if they'd be as excited about MY voting rights.

And did anybody else feel like exploding when he went on about the number of schools refurbished when we can't find money for education here?

I shouldn't watch Fix...it is bad for my karma.

[VelmaD]

14. It just keeps on getting better

Brit Hume just said the threat from the violence in Iraq was greater to public opinion in the US than to people in Iraq. Jeebus h christ.

[gulliver]

15. 150,000 troops and $87 billion don't lie

The Bushies are propping up Iraq. It is a huge failure. That fact is being obscured by the focus on life returning to normal in Bhagdad, etc.

We are being misdirected. If this debate becomes about whether things are good in Bhagdad, the Bushies escape accountability for the catastrophe they have created.

The question is whether the U.S. is safer and whether the war was worth the enormous prices we are paying. If we continue to let the Bushies charge all of this on the U.S. credit card, if we continue to let the Brit Hume's of the world discount the evident violence in Iraq, the Bushies just laugh and plot some more fun for us after 2004.

16. It's time to kick the bums out

VOTE 2004. Stop the lying.
