Headlines Are Deceiving With Respect to NY Subway Bombing Plot....
When I logged on to the internet this evening I caught the following headline: "Three Suspects Arrested In NY Subway Terror Scare". I also heard the same being promoted in a commercial before the news.
This led me to believe that they arrested these suspects in New York.
WoW I thought - They Acted Quick In Rounding These Guys Up

No - No - No

Because upon reading the article - it indicated that the suspects were arrested in - none other than - Iraq.

Who is spinning the news out of Iraq. *Co and Company

Do I believe that they really arrested suspects or do I believe that these were just convenience arrests to fit the fabricated story.

To me this is just the way the MSM helps *Co's cause - because most people don't read the news - they just listen to the headline. Most will believe that these arrests occurred in NY and will feel protected because they'll never read the fine print.

- Bush's Poll #'s Down
- Delay, Rove, Frist & countless other Repugs in trouble
- Iraq War Going Bad - Bordering On A Civil War
- Croneyism, Corruption
- Katrina Fiasco
+ Bush Speech On Terror and The War - Stay The Course - Fight There So We Don't Have To Fight Here
+ Bomb Scares, Terrorist Plots
+ Arrests Made In NY Subway Terror Plot
+ Hooray GWB + He's Protecting Us

WH Waiting With Baited Breath For New Poll Numbers

Deja Vu - Same ole - Same ole

1. MSM will get us all killed.
I was also very disappointed that Aaron Brown/Anderson Cooper didn't do a story on the House (un-American) Activities that took place today over the Leave No Oil Company Behind vote.

That should have been HUGE news! Dems chanting "shame, shame, shame" after Reps got strong-armed into a bogus vote.

But not a word on the evening news.
Terra. Terra. Terra.
