Comments on: Iraqi Official Assassinated

Bomb Kills Provincial Governor And Three Other People

[prinzowhales]

The ''mouse'' looks photo-shopped into the picture.

Lynch is complaining that the Green Zone bombardments are getting more accurate...that the freedom fighters have been able to lay a barrage in a grid pattern...Hey, Lynch Duck and Cover A**hole!!...Making the occupation bureaucrats nervous really seems to get their goat...the bureaucrats complain to their sponsors back in the Enchanted Kingdom on the Potomac and they complain about the military not protecting them and the military blames the Iranians for training the freedom fighters to lob shells with the d*mn things more accurately.

How many months into the surge and they can''t even defend the ''heart of darkness'' in Iraq-- the Green Zone--from mortar attacks?

Lynch pretends like the mortar was unheard of until the Iranians introduced the Iraqis into the mysteries of the infernal devices...lets just ignore the million man army that Viceroy Dumba** Bremer fired...one...maybe two, or more of them might have some working knowledge of a mortar.

I do not know if this has anything to do with this picture or not , but Hamas had a show using Mickey MOuse as a propaganda against us and Israel. Could mean they approved of Hamas'' propaganda. They stopped that for some reason. These people good bad or otherwise just do not think as we do, violence has been there lives since BC I believe, and I doubt they will ever change they do not understand peace.

+ report abuse

I really liked your post and You covered the lie pretty good, why do we put up with the lie? That is the question I got caught up with one person yesterday and he was so pro Bush and he doesn''t believe anything wrong Bush has done so there are true believers in Bush (not me) you cannot change their minds even if you go step by step explaining I call it blind stupidity and good propaganda to reach this kind of person.

[samrensho]

Iraqi officials are just as worthless as US politicians so one less ain''t gonna matter a whole lot. May even improve the sitiation.

[meboard]

Yes, Yes!!! We can call them "French Fries" again. The French have capitulated...

[grazinggoat]

Rick Lynch said %u2014 the first detailed allegation that Iranians have been training fighters within Iraq''s borders. "We know they''re here and we target them as well," he said, citing intelligence reports as evidence of their presence. "They go back and forth. There''s a porous border." He declined to be more specific and said no Iranian forces have been arrested in his territory. The military has stepped up allegations against Iran in recent weeks, saying it supplies militants with arms and training to attack U.S. forces. Iran denies the allegations and says it supports efforts to stop the violence.

-Are they the same ones who wrote about the WMD in the first report? I betcha! Actually this intelligence agency is kinda specialized into ghostly things. They see things, they feel them... they know they are there!

[grazinggoat]

the children in the world, should be playing with toys, little cars, dolls, and live with hope and minds free of worry.
What has mankind foisted on the children of the world?
I am an old goat and I will leave this world in a lot worse shape than when I arrived.
I''''m sorry that I could not have done more to make it a better place. Perhaps you young people will try harder. I hope so.

It just keeps getting better, thank you to the wing nuts for this mess.

Never again!

[skyk-2009]

This just proves to me that there will never be peace nor democracy in Iran or Iraq. First of all they have known nothing but strife and conflict throughout most of their existence. Second, I do not believe they understand what democracy and personal rights and freedom mean. Thirdly, even if they do, they don''''t want it. Consequently it will never come to that region where they know nothing else.

This is news? I do believe, if you will go back when the Liar In Chief was h-e-ll bent on getting us into this mess, ALL our friends and so many in this nation WARNED of this.

Indeed - another GW Bush lie.

What really gets me is that when the war started, US and British Special Forces captured key positions identified by the US, including military positions, facilities and oil fields.

The key positions didn''t include WMD sites identified earlier by Colin Powell at the UN.

Why weren''t those sites important enough to capture if they were so dangerous?

Simple - it was all a lie to begin with.

And then came the other lies - the Iraqis were able to move the WMD''s out of Iraq, etc etc.

Now, if it was all true, then why did the Bush Admin fail to keep track of all these "dangerous" WMD''s?

The biggest question is - why do we keep allowing this known liar to continue lying to us.

I agree and would add the other metamorphosis we have undergone that make us look more like terrorists or a Stalinist regime:

1. We, who helped author the Geneva conventions removed our names as signatories just like any dictator would

2. We torture, though many think our methods are more ''humane'' than the terrorists we think we captured, but are not sure until we have renditioned and tortured them

3. We refuse to join the World Court or sign the NPT because we planned on violating them anyway

4. We granted our leaders immunity from War Crimes just like the Germans did for Hitler at Nuremberg

5. We admit we started the war based on "lies or misinformation" but we cannot yet admit that we continue to perpetuate our mistake based on lies and misinformation.

Yep these are some of the changes wrought by 9/11, propaganda and divisive politics. Certainly , this is not your dad''s or any other forefather''s America anymore.

[tbweb]

After 9/11 the U.S. Government said we had to go about our daily lives like normal, not change anything, for if we did the terrorist had won. With the new wiretap Laws, subtle security changes, major delays at airports and secret discussions about a state of emergency and possibility of a Draft amount to an admission of defeat? Does every time the Bush administration feel like it''s losing control or not getting it''s way sound the terrorist alarm to scare the hell out of us once again to gain more power and more control over our daily lives? The administration that cried wolf ad naseum! The sad thing is that if a threat does materialize the real alarm will be ignored and many will get hurt because of the way the alarm was misused and abused. It''s really getting to the point where I don''t even care about the terrorist, I''d rather take my chances and have all my freedoms back. Quality of life matters too, not just sucking air a prisoner in my own country waiting for an attack and it''s really starting to look like the lesser evil. LET FREEDOM RING!

The Iranians, Saudia''''s and others are using Iraq as a "war of power" in the region. Their "talks" are nothing but "empty words" when they are supplying the weaponary, training and money to continue the civil war. Everyone needs to butt out and let the Iraqis find "unity" or else it will divide beyond repair or reconcillation.
Posted by radiob at 12:26 PM : Aug 19, 2007


and we, who set this all in motion with our trumped up invasion, what are WE using Iraq for? Or are we the first invaders and occupiers in history with a halo? Why do we always say "everyone needs to butt out" when the primary instigator supplying bombs, money and weaponry is us? We said that in the Israel and Lebanon debacle too--told everyone to butt out and let the the 2 solve their issue, then we prompty butted in and fed exed cluster bombs and billions to Israel. When we say everyone needs to butt out, why do we not include ourselves? We started the mess and are a large part of the problem after all. Why does America keep having an identity problem and not ever seem to know that she is NOT the countries she meddles in?

[toldyouso21]

feel that the loss of life over there would have occurred even if the invasion had never happened. Saddam would have attacked somebody or they would have come after him. Posted by ToolMangler at 11:16 AM : Aug 19, 2007

Just a comment on what you figure, it makes about as much sense as a drunk running over a kid and stating that the kid would probably have been hit by someone anyway--given the nature of kids and cars....

but the truth is, if the drunk had not been drinking...maybe NOT THAT KID and MAYBE not that person who was drinking would have done it.

the fact is, the blood is on our hands and to say the people would have died anyway is just a cop out and trying to absolve us of our crime. So here it is--maybe NOT the people who died their because of us and cerainly it did NOT need to be American hands covered in blood for causing this. Our mess, our lies, our fault, forever, can''t be spun, and should not ever be justified. Redemption starts with people admitting they did wrong, not excusing themselves for it.

[toldyouso21]

" British troop levels will drop to five thousand, down from 40-thousand after the March 2003 invasion. "

40,000? When did the British surge happen? I read the news papers and articles concerning Iraq for the past 4 years and each time, the UK was listed as having the most troops in Iraq after the US. That number? Usually put at around 8,500 or lower. So when in the H3ll did they get the other 31,500 there, or is this reverse Bush propaganda? You know, low numbers for civilian casualties, high numbers for touting the amount of bail out help we actually got?

'' ...

i used to blame journalists for everything

i still do in a way

not so much because they are responsible

but because they are not, yet people see them that way

ladies lived through mens world wars and mens great depressions and mens religions and currencies and languages

while those men were busy eliminating all the competion, those ladies stood by their men and their armies and such

but they got old and bought guns to sleep with afraid to leave home and afraid to stay

and, socially afforded no market share, they died scared because for them ''beruit'' of all the militants out to save the world was in their living rooms,

not the one on t.v., the one trying to break into the front door while they sat and watched

and no one reported live from their studios

it''s not an issue of technology, cbs should have been bigger than the internet before the internet was,

but ancient problems have ancient solutions,

respect,

stop silencing people in the name of fear of ''evil savages''

most hang flowers on their walls while jounalists and entertainers decorate the gossip with militants

You know, the ironic part is that the opponents of the war during Bush''s agitprop buildup for it, predicted exactly this scenario, Bush countered with "it will be short, and we will not engage in nation building". When it was posited that we would cause a civil war, Bush countered with "they will welcome us with open arms".

When Hans Blix said the UN weapons inspectors found no evidence of WMDs, Bush countered with "we have intel." when asked where the intel came from, he said "I''m not going to tell you, that''s what the enemy wants".

Each time, the press neglected to do its job, to verify any and all info from Bush, instead it excluded all voices of reason.

Now that almost every single word from the mouth of Bush has been shown to be a lie, where is the press? Still passive and compliant.
