So how long before this whole al-Zarq story unravels?

[Atman]

It's already starting to get frayed around the edges at the press conference. Reporters are actually asking questions. And the answers aren't adding up. I'm smelling some Jessica Lynch/Pat Tillman goin' on here. They keep pumping up how this means that now the Iraqi people finally have "a real chance."

Lurking freeps: no one is saying he isn't dead, just that the story is pure bullshit. Get your own lies straight, please! The administration is doing plenty good with its own spew.

But this ain't adding up. All one really needs to do is read the news from BEFORE the attack to understand what is going on here.

I predict that within a week, the whole story of the "bombing" will be completely different than the bullshit they're serving up today.

1. careful--Skinner wants a minimum of tinfoil aound this topic

which is hard to do once you know they lie about E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. It's obviously staged somehow. But let's all be careful and watch the emerging facts, as you suggest.

3. That's all I'm saying...let's watch the emerging facts.

Obviously, some details will "clarify" given time. That is to be expected. But will they "clarify" like those of Lynch and Tillman, to the point of outright fraud?

I'm not tinfoiling anything here. I just watched the press conference, and the story is already changing. Given BushCo's notorious penchant for lying and making shit up as they go along, I think anyone who accepts this current version of the story hasn't learned their lesson yet.

BUSH LIES. Even when he doesn't have to.

2. as if their past is any indication, I agree with you

a work in progress at best, an out right lie at worst

4. There's a vast diferrence between saying

there's a vast conspiracy and they're lying. I don't see this a tin-foil hat at all.
