1. "Radicalism and ideologies of hatred are a threat to America"

"Radicalism and ideologies of hatred are a threat to America, to Italy and to all peaceful nations."

So sez the smirking chimp....

I agree. That is why we MUST defeat the rethugs. Their radicalism and ideologies of hatred ARE a threat to all of us.

2. Major Slaughter In Karbala (Possible?)

The attack against the Americans occurred in Wadi Al-Nakheela in the city of Karbala when a big missile was fired from a vehicle, killing of 19 US soldiers and wounding more than 40 others while half of those injured suffer from injuries of a serious nature.

4. It was Last Thursday.

Can you confirm Bremer was in US then?

"In a night not witnessed previously by the American occupation forces since their occupation of Iraq, the American forces were subject to a major slaughter on Thursday. "

5. Bremer is/was in U.S.

I saw an article that mentioned he left Iraq without any notice on Friday or Saturday and would be here for a week, in meetings. He did all the talk shows on Sunday.

6. July 17, was Bremer in Iraq?

I saw him on Sunday, face the nation. The attack was at the night of July 17, Thursday.

8. Now I'm wondering

When did Bremer leave Iraq and when did he arrive in US?

I thought the article said 21st....that was just the dateline...but you're right it said thursday night Iraq time........

10. The problem we do not know who to trust

President Bush or the Enemy. Very likely the truth will lie in between.

7. Huh?

Bush*.....

....the desire by the North Koreans to convince the world that they're in the process of developing a nuclear arsenal is nothing new. I mean, we've known that for a while.

AND

A free Iraqi is a crucial part of winning the war on terror.

So, North Korea is just blowing smoke out their ass about the Nuclear Arsenal? Well, who would know better than Bush*? And I thought Iraq was free? Mission Accomplished and all that.......

9. I really liked the spin
