Could someone anyone please tell me
why I am watching a stuck horse on MSM when the Green Zone has been seriously penetrated in Iraq today; when a major bridge has been blown up in Iraq today; when dozens more are dead in Iraq today. Enough of this fugging diversion. This surge cannot work - get the hell out of Iraq.

4. We simply have to
get that horse unstuck over there, before it gets stuck over here.

11. I fully expect
our Fearless Leader to hold a press conference on the issues involving the stuck horse this afternoon. More, I tingle with anticipation when I consider the chances of MSNBC, Fox, and/or CNN identifying that horse's biological father. Mr. Ed, perhaps.

Who should have custody?

10. NO didn't ya hear? IF we get that horse unstuck over there it will chase us home and then we will be
stuck over here,
And gays will marry
and our flags will all burn
and our marriages will fall apart
and our sons will marry sheep.

14. Many teenaged boys
think they can play "horse" with no consequences. You list just the tip of the ice cube. We need school uniforms, forced prayer in the workplace, a draft, and to suspend the Constitution. I won't feel safe without these bold moves on Leader Bush's part. After all, a horse is in the Home Land!

5. I just saw this on Wonkette about the "horse rescue":


Our nation’s readiness and resolve was again put to the test, just moments ago, when a horse got stuck in the mud somewhere. Remember to duct tape your doors and windows … and keep an eye out for potential Arabs.

7. 8AM on CNN, not the bridge bombing, not the parliment bomb, - Imus.
Karl Rove loves when an Imus-type story happens...

Bush's Fuck You to his dad's rescue effort was an escalation and it has failed.

19. I just mentioned the same thing to my husband.
I love horses, I want the horse to be okay, but for crying out loud! The only person with a real connection to this incident is the owner of the animal.

21. maybe the media is trying to focus on the good news in Iraq
so in other words, they can't say anything at all...

23. Check out Richardson's plan for Iraq.
Well . . . check out all of them really, but I'd like to hear what you think of Richardson's.

Handy for comparison of Biden, Clinton, Dodd, Edwards, Kucinich, Obama, and Richardson on a selection of topics with focus on Bush’s War. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F1QF8BZ74Q

Transcripts are available for your perusal at http://www.moveon.org/ and click on Iraq Town Hall.

26. BBC has great coverage on now
Edited on Thu Apr-12-07 02:08 PM by malaise
Their expert says the surge looks rather feeble. How's that for a euphemism. Watching the Bagdhad Correspondent Johnathan Charles now. Says the insurgents are telling everyone that they are not afraid of any American security shutdown. They can attack anywhere. Iraq is in chaos.

Oh Oh another person saying that the surge looks very shaky.Bombings have not decreased. In the end the bomber will always get through.

Add.
