1. From last night:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=3087457&mesg_id=3087457

And FWIW, Scarborough was also spouting off about the possibility Iran was involved. I think this admin is setting up the scenario to do damage to Iran, whether warranted or not, and the lap dog media is doing their job. :eyes:
If any of these clowns ever get indicted/go to trial, the media needs to also. They have created as much if not more damage than the BFEE culprits have.

10. fwiw
I got the impression that scarborough was reporting more on the release of the theory than on the theory as fact. That is, he was reporting on the scam that is taking place. That, of course is news (although not particularly new). I think scarborough is scared to death, even moreso because he is a conservative, knows these guys, and knows what is going on.

2. Not even that, really
A theory is supposed to be based on evidence - well, in science it is.

There's no evidence to support involvement of Iran in that attack.
It is at best a hypothesis.

5. it's an assertion being used as a lure (see if it floats), couched as
possibility - but it is not a theory

6. MSNBC, just did the same thing
Anyone with half a brain can take these reports apart. In their report they used the words with the Iranian involvement; may have, perhaps, might of, theory, could of, would like to.

In other words, they have no fact, pure conjecture.

9. And they expect us to buy into this crap? Again? I believe nothing
that comes from this administration, and we all know this is "top secret" information that the Bushies have fed directly to the media. Not a leak. This may have been stamped with "Press Release" under the Presidential Seal.

15. and Miles O'Brien very very interestingly "coughed" after reporting
Edited on Wed Jan-31-07 10:25 AM by Windy
that the alleged gunman were wearing US Military uniforms "cough" and drove US Military style SUV Suburbans "cough"...

interesting. I think he and Soledad have the same impression that we do. Or is MIles O'Brien thinking Gulf of Tonkin?

14. I'm sure it's a theory born in the office of the VICE president. His cocksured attitude is telling.
This is precisely what they did in Iraq. Lather up the public with inuenedo and half truths.

18. It was a much different story last night. And that's the story that hit the papers this morning.
This is how these traitorous bastards do it. They grab the headlines that everyone reads then they parse their own words later the next day and no one pay any attention to this.......MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
