"Al Quadas of Mass Destruction" Here we go again...
First of all, I'm opposed to ALL VIOLENCE against civilians and to war in general. I find the attack on Israeli civilians utterly repellent and unfathomable and I also find the ham fisted attack on an entire nation, Lebanon, wreaking death and destruction much wider than the targets to be equally repellent and unfathomable. This is not an "anti" one side or the other post.


It's a general warning about the new propaganda line we're being fed: Al Quadas of Mass Destruction.

It seems Idiot #2 of Al Quada has issued one of those low grade videos endorsing attacks on Israel, etc., etc. How shocking! They'd endorse anything that involved death because, like their sworn enemy *, they are messengers of death, plain and simple.

But what are we to think of this new development, repeated every five minutes on CNN.

Could it be that there is not sufficient blood lust among the American public to support this war?

Could it be...the old * rhetorical trick "...and 911 was awful...speaking of 911...Saddam...and you know what he's cooking up...but back to 911"

I've had it with this garbage, to the hilt.

Why can't there be a reasoned dialogue aimed at averting wars and, once started, aimed at ending them just as quickly as possible.

This looks like the Al Quada of Mass Destruction argument that will stretch things out until we hit $100 a barrel.

I believe nothing that I hear or read in the corporate media, other than believing the material is there for an end clearly other than information and problem resolution.


To all you messengers of death, and you know who you are, * and company,
here's a reminder that we know what type of world you've got in store for us.

1. Yes, agreed, tired of it
And tired of people who don't care or think things are hunky dory.

3. Hunky dory...
Just clicked on the Riverbend blog. My God, the horror of it all.

Is this the best we can do? For now, apparently it is. What a scandal.

5. It seems to be a good running point for Bloody Bush. You know
killing some one all the times and drum up the war loving Americans. Looks like in general every day people on both sides get killed and the people of Lebanon more so with American bombs. But do not fear I am sure the bomb makers are making very good profits.

2. Go to bed. Get some rest.
We're on it while you recharge, to get up and see this through, tomorrow and the next day.

We don't believe the people trying to sell the "War for Peace" ideology.

We're making sure people around us know.

Go to bed, autorank.

Get up early.

:thumbsup:

6. You think that's bad...
I was perusing the Website of a local television station in Iowa. The site featured a story about Homeland Security defining more than 400 site in Iowa as terrorists targets. Yep, Iowa. Apparently, the want to blow up our cornfields.

Seriously though. Lately there have been other states discussing the hundreds of "terror targets" within their borders. Some of these vulnerable sites are petting zoos and small antiques shops.

Are they try to scare all of us---and convince even the people in low-population states that we're not even safe---not even at the local petting zoo?

I find these stories really irritating. If someone out there has some concrete knowledge of Osama plotting to hit zoos and hat boutiques---start talking and give us information. We're getting these foggy stories about hundreds of potential terror targets in our states---and no one knows why these locations are targets. The owners of the targets are in the dark as well.

Either they're trying to drum up fear--or they know something that we don't.

Either way--we all lose. I'm so sick of the moronic behavior of these thugs.

8. It is amazing...they think we're such fools.
Why they're probably headed up my street right now. Never trusted those Washington Post delivery personnel (I cancelled at the Monicagate launch, all pron in the Post then).

There is not one decent television news outlet of any degree of popularity. The onlyi good thing about cable news is that the top channel Fox, only has 2.5 million viewers, and those are lufa fans for O'Liely. Dreadful.

7. At some point soon, the al Qaida tapes will stop because
they will seem to have a safer plan.

'Nite to the autorank family.
