7. My bullshit meter is running wild on this one...
Haven't you all noticed in the last 2 years, someone is paraded out periodically to "negotiate" to "end the violence"? Then nothing happens other then the MSM grabbing hold of the story with both hands and screaming that the rebels want to surrender? Then the story quietly disappears.

Another "iraqi" on the payroll, just like the suicide bomber that still had the munitions strapped on to her for the interview.

If she was the real mccoy, do you honestly, really, do you honestly believe that the U.S. Army would allow her to give interviews? Come on, I may have fallen off the turnip truck, but it wasn't yesterday.

We are now in the "look we are making a difference" period of morons* assault on trying to convince the public that things aren't really as fucked up and are really improving over there, just to pump up his plummeting poll numbers.

1)woman captured after her suicide bombs doesn't go off, then grants interviews

2)an iraqi that claims he represents the insurgents, want to talk peace

3)Medics run to aid people who were tortured.

come on folks.

This is a new tactic, not huge stories, not fear with terror threats, not elevated color code HLS levels, the little story bullshit. These are the ones to really watch out for. These are the ones that permeate the collective consciousness of the U.S.

Be aware folks, this is a new and scary period.
