Lara Logan On How Ordinary Citizen Cope In Iraq's Capital

[toldyouso21]

how disrespectful and thoughtless can you be for the sake "journalism"?

give me a break.Posted by coldplayer1 at 07:39 PM : Apr 22, 2007


how sick can we be for giving Iraq our war of choice that gives that 13 year old girl a story about watching 2 people being shot in front of her. Start with the root of the problem--it is NOT the reporting, it is our illegal, meddling war.

[toldyouso21]

This just in...Al Maliki has ordered the Sunni wall to be STOPPED. (But America would not comment) Maliki ordered it to be stopped due to opposition from Arabs he spoke with all over the Middle EAst. The likened it to the Berlin Wall and the wall in Israel and said it was a symbol of oppression. Don't know if they will halt it for good (Al Maliki says yes, but America appears reluctant to stop) but right now--the wall is a NO GO!!!!!!!!

Re: "Nearly 200 physicians, including 15 of Quoresh's closest friends, have been murdered by those intent on destroying Iraqi society"

The Isrealis?

Re: "But with al Qaeda terrorists determined to see the U.S. fail..."

The ever-breathless Ms. Logan never misses an opportunity to toss in a few bits of unsubstantiated and unsupported hype, to spice up her yellow journalism. Now she seems to fancy herself as a spokesman for al-CIA'da.

How ridiculous. Clearly she has been in-bedded with our troops for far too long.

Or is it that you're just a gutless coward?

Yep, I'd say that hits the nail on the head about didntinhale.

Hey didntinhalebutdoessuckcok,

How come you haven't joined the army, marines, navy or airforce yet?

Are you scared of the hadjis?

Is that it?

lol - you have a yellow streak down your back and a brown streak in your pants.

Do everyone a favor, stop talking about toasting hadjis and go and let them show us what kind of a moron, I mean, man, you really are.

Or is it that you're just a gutless coward?

Smug comments from people stateside who aren't risking their lives in Iraq in order to put together a story. That wimpy reporter, geez, the whiny stuff she puts together.
It's sad if you think that way. Reporters have a job to report both sides of the story. If she isn't painting a Bush-perfect portrait, get over it.
By the way, I doubt most soldiers feel supported by their President knowing they have to sacrifice additional time away from their families, as well as the additional risk to their lives. And we see how intimidated the Islamic extremists have become since news of the troop surge. I guess the increased death toll spells "Mission Accomplished" again.
Mr. President: Tear down your war.

"Yes Lara...Keep prying until you make hadji's kids cry so that we can all be enlightened to the fact that ware is bad and people get killed.

Time to ratchet things up with some carpet bombs and napalm."

You're an idiot - much like your boyfriend, GW Bush.

No answers, but just can't help proving what sort of an idiot you are every time you comment.

Good story. Bad reporter. Lara Logan asked rhetorical questions to make people cry. She wiggles around like Russel Crow and I found her to be smug and distracting. I hope we don't see her again soon. (And I'm a straight male)

AFTER MS. LOGAN,S REPORT ALL I CAN SAY IS : NO LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

Scott,

As a friend once said about another politician, "He has been educated beyond his intelligence".

[scottlsf]

didntinhale,

You sound about as educated as George Bush!

[scottlsf]

Here is what I wrote to George Bush and *** Cheney, I am so disgusted what America and its allies have done in Iraq!

Dearest George & ***,

I hope you both had a chance to watch 60 Minutes this evening, if not, I have attached the URL to the story they did on a day living in Baghdad.

If this is progress, then I am the Pope! Your
occupation of Iraq has destroyed this country far more than Saddam ever did!

It is a disgrace to see what America and its allies have done to the stability of Iraq! You are both so arrogant about this occupation! AND, again let me remind you Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11, one of the many lies this administration has told the American people and the world.

As far as I see it, you are both responsible for every American soldier and Iraqi killed in Iraq, an occupation that should have NEVER happened! You are a disgrace to America and will go down in history as the worst president of the United States EVER!

The world court should charge you both with murder and bring you both to justice! It would be the only dignified act that could be done for the lies you told the American people and the world so you could attack Iraq, a country that did not attack the United States!

In Disgust,
Scott Lincoln

I've just seen this story, and it boils my blood to think that the *** bush and his vamparitic vice-president have LIED AGAIN TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC!!!! How long will we as a nation put up with this heinous *** that comes daily from the White House, telling us just how "wonderfully" or how we are becomming the Iraqui's saviours; that we are "winning" the war, that they (the evildoers) are nothing more than running scared from our glorious troops.....bush is sounding more and more like Hitler, if you ask me....and to see such a story just makes me wonder why in the hell isn't this ***, this waste of human skin, this smirking piece of filth not IMPEACHED YET????

[randalds]

To Bush, Rove and all the other "Bushies" out there, the Iraq people are even less important that the poor and middle class in the US; and we are all pee-ons! All they care about is that the rich get richer and lead the good life and its too bad for anyone else!
Posted by walt1944 at 08:34 PM : Apr 22, 2007

That's because to Bush and company the Iraqi's are not human beings. They're not white or christian, so they're sub-human to them on two levels. The racists ones don't care how many of them die because they're not white and the "Christians" don't care if they die because they're just Muslims. What the Bushies who are not rich don't grasp is that Bush and the other rich elite don't think they're human either because they're not part of their "class". they're more then happy to lie their as*ses off to the rubes and church goers for votes, but just as happy to scr*ew them in the as*s as much as they do the Iraqi civilians.

[culturegeist]

Lara Logan's piece gave us a piercing insight into the realities of day to day life for the millions of Iraqi civilians caught between the US forces and the Sunni and Shiite militias battling or control for control of the city.

Regardless of where one stands on the US occupation of Iraq the conditions on the streets of Baghdad are glaring evidence that the current strategy in Iraq is not working.

I share the views of those who have little faith that the Bush administration will muster the moral courage to put aside their stubborn determination to be right and acknowledge that relegating US troops to the role of intermediary between the Sunni and Shiite militias waging an internal civil war is folly pure and simple.

To those who would argue that an immediate phased withdrawal of US forces from Iraq would lead to a descent into chaos: Chaos already reigns in Iraq, as previous posts indicated 72 Iraqis were killed today and three more US soldiers won't be coming home alive.

Lara Logan deserves an award (Pulitzer, Oscar, Nobel Prize... or whatever) for the work she has done in the Irag war. I believe she is the most believable journalist we veiw on the war. Katy should watch how she delivers a story.

Please... somebody at CBS see she is recognized!
