2. GOOD MORNING VIETNAM - opps - I mean Baghdad
hotel used by UN - many journalists - news conference going on - hundreds injured - trying to find survivors.

Meanwhile US media is happy about the Kurds giving us the ten of diamonds that they captured in Musul.

BBC/other Brits are noting how Alistair has the heads of Intel lined up to say 45 minutes to mushroom cloud was their idea - but their staffs say that is bull -

I wonder if US Media will ever question Bush or staff - I think they like being Rove reprint operation.

6. a yellow beton mixer truck

Rammed the building and exploded inside. The wounded count may go in the 100nds and there is fear of a second bomb.

One '0' too much.

8. It Shows The Nihlism Of The Terrorists
They attacked the most powerful institution that opposed the invasion.

Sometimes I think of the terrorists who attack Israel.

Whatever you think of Isreal how can one fail to see the futility of the terrorist's mission.

Are they going to terrorize the Israelis into leaving?

I think not.

12. I'm Going To Modify My Statement A Bit
Events like this might move more Americans to oppose the invasion....


The Americans can go home....


The Israelis have nowhere to go.


That being said I think non-violent resistance would be a better tactic for Iraqis if they want to end the American occupation

I don't think non violent resistance is part of the Middle Eastern ethos though.

17. Is this the place?
The Palestinians have nowhere to go. They were the displaced people whose land is still being confiscated as if they didn't exist -remember? Israel has the obscene financial backing and the military support of the US and has violated more UN resolutions than any other country in the world.

May I remind you, that violence was visited upon the Middle-Eastern people of Iraq - it was not they who attacked, killed, damaged, destroyed, deprived, robbed or occupied anyone else based on a fabrication of lies.

14. You Mean
Saddam said to Osama " Hey, the American Imperialist dogs are going to take over my country and then you can terrorize them"

That's good thinking.

Not.

15. How can they get away with this constant felonious lying?
Edited on Tue Aug-19-03 09:36 AM by liberalnurse
I could never, ever in my life ever be capable of such behavior. How do they live with themselves, face their children?

Tokyo Rose was a sweet Witch of the East compared to the Faux thugs!
