is the press making up stories about iraq and the carnage that is going on
there?

is bush censoring the few images we get on the msm about the reality in iraq through intimidating them?

what an assinine asshole--he is censoring the press by intimidating them through placing blame on them for the terrorist's upper hand in iraq--"because", the bush farthole says, "they know how to play the media".


damn -- i really let go of my french every time i think or write about the fartholes all three of them, poppy,junior and jebbie.

the nuns who taught me waaaaaaay baaaaaaaack then must all be turning on their graves.

1. can you even imagine all the things that are going on there that are
"Knowns knowns" to the pentagon but not to the merikan public? We hear about the corrupion and so forth but i bet there is so much more that when it finally all comes out it will make the media look totally clueless. Bush wants us to look away for a reason and it's not just becasue of the violence and the bodycounts imo.

5. Your subject line makes it seem like you could be a.......
......transplant from free republic.:grr: I'll watch my manners and assume you are honestly seeking information.:eyes:

I think the only media repression that is going on might be to filter out the worst of the violence going on over there.

For sure we don't get to see the flag draped caskets:patriot: coming back, which is indeed Bush's doing.

6. hey listen, if we murricahns are big enough and grown enough to go to war,
we sure as hell as grown enough to watch whatever the hell violence bush is serving in iraq through his own troops or through the iraqis wanting us out of iraqi.

he certainly doesn't protect us from the carnage of war when he wants to send us there--why the hell does he want to protect us from the realities of war by censoring the images we see?

he is a fucking bastard!

good for you for watching your language. i certainly don't watch mine.

like i said, the nuns must be rolling in their graves.

7. Why yes. There's a Hollywood set
where the Liberal Media film these carnage stories. I heard they got these people on a blog-thingy called DU who sit around writing the scripts for 'em.:sarcasm:

8. I guessing it is pure hell there for everyone. More so for the Iraqis
who are being shot and killed at every turn. Plus they are knee deep in depleted uranium. If the mess ended tomarrow, they will still spend the next several centuries with deformed children and unusual sicknesses. This invasion is probably the biggest criminal act ever committed when you consider the after effects of the invasion.
