[Sparkly]

Gunfire at a hotel *within* the "green zone."

What's Chimpy's script going to say today and tomorrow about how "things are getting better?"

[Connie_Corleone]

1. "Freedom is on the march!"

2. MSNBC says Sheraton Hotel on fire. nt

[Honor Where Are You]

3. Wolf just said......

"It is too dangerous to go out in Baghdad without security" and also "It is almost foolish to do so". Contrast to bush "Things are getting better in Iraq". Sweet Baby Jesus!!! When is this tornado of Bush spin going to STOP!!!!

[Sparkly]

5. Right, and when the parrots squawk about how "brave" Chimp is

to "go to Iraq," I want somebody to ask when he ever went to Iraq, except sneaking in and out again in the dark to deliver the fake turkey??

I think they should stop using the words like "Bush went into Iraq" or "Bush invaded Iraq" or "Bush is fighting" and such.

4. Holy hell in a handbasket

Which is where this whole thing is going, fast.

14. Flash News: Target recruitment team stops taking applications/boards up

The Target recruitment team in Baghdad has abruptly stopped taking applications for the lawn chair/Gitmo Suit department and has boarded up. One Target rep, who we caught up to curled up under some debris, said fearfully, "Target is the NAME of the store, Get it?!" Back to you, Sam.

16. Sort of hard to "control the story," when it is the reporter's hotels

being fired on, huh, Chimpy?

Even Karl Rove, the "wunderkind" ain't gonna be able to stifle this one...

[tjdee]

17. Barbara Starr wants us to know that this doesn't hold up Iraq elections.

She just reported that these aren't the sorts of things that interfere with the interim government, the elections....but that for now, there are scared people in the hotels and in the area.


Well there, Bush can just use that tomorrow.

18. If the SAFEST place in Iraq isn't safe ...

Seriously, if the SAFEST place in Iraq IS NOT SAFE, what does that say about the rest of the country that isn't nearly as well protected.

The truth is that your danger level goes up with your proximity to Americans!!! THEY DON'T WANT TO BE COLONIZED!!!

THAT, is why it's necessary to turn authority over to the UN.
