Just saw a truck being blown up on CNN
supposedly it was rigged with a deadly chlorine gas bomb, where is the proof, it just looked like another of thousands and thousands of trucks how do we even know it was in Iraq it could have been at a target range on any Army base. The Bush Administration wouldn't lie would they.

1. the military says Iran is training Iraqi's to make and plant IEDs... They KNOW this because of
(wait for it....) Detainee Debriefs - ah yes - because we all know that evidence extracted by TORTURE is just SO trustworthy and believable - it's not like we just waterboard them til they tell us what we want to hear..... Noooooo, NOTHING like THAT.

:sarcasm:

3. Maybe they can waterboard
Rover and Gonezo to show us how harmless it is and how reliable the information is.

4. Great idea! How better to prove it is not torture! We can ask them about the attorney firings!
I'm sure they will parrot the WH line when they believe they are drowning.... :eyes:

none of those bullies could take it for a second. They probably get excited about dishing it out, or ordering it and they get a rush from their power - but they would blubber like babies almost instantly if THEY were the subject of their approved "techniques"

2. First, run on sentence. My brain hurts... second...
Legitimate news organizations have been reporting about the chlorine gas trucks being blown up. Regardless of whether the IMAGE is fake, there is a FACT that such trucks are being used to hurt people in Iraq, reported by far, far, far more than just the Pentagon.

6. How do you know it is a fact? WMD's were a slam
dunk! Iraq could produce a mushroom cloud over an American city in 40 minutes! I see you are from Canada, well if the USA would invade and occupy your country and you fought back would you be a freedom fighter or would you be an insurgent or a terrorist? Of course that chlorine gas had to come from Iran I am sure, every f---ing water treatment plant in the world has chlorine.

5. I can tell you this --
it's been my observation that CNN is a prime "agent" for disinformation. It comes to them early, and sometimes exclusively.
