Great News!! Brit Hume on Faux Just said:
The attacks on American soldiers in Iraq are diminishing and the attack by Iraqis on the U.N. was a sign of their "desperation" because now they can only attack "soft targets".

He says things are going great and we don't need troops from other countries and don't need more troops, and in fact lots of american troops will be coming home soon.

I watched daffy duck TV for 3 minutes and am amazed at the disconnect from reality. They are truly delusional

27. Remember the Iraqi "information minister?" Faux News is like THAT
I mean, if it wasn't so awful, you'd just laugh at them.

3. Just like how Neil Cavuto the other day...
didn't refer to the stock market as "flat", but rather "calm". I'm so soothed by that.

4. Sounds like Brit considers Iraq "vacation material"
The American people are no longer buying the "everything is going fine" line. Brit is now swimming upstream.

6. only attack on soft targets???
then why aren't we also protecting soft targets or are we just using them as bait???

putting on my :tinfoilhat: there has been scattered reports here and there that mention that there was some warning or at least a hint that the UN building in Baghdad was going to be a target...

sooooooooo... if true, then why didn't we bolster security? UN wants more input into Iraq, Whistleass doesn't... anywho...wouldn't this attack encourage the UN to "cave-in" to the whistleass and send in aid/troops?

my :tinfoilhat: says this could have been another LIHOP in order to get the UN involved without conceding any control

7. Six soldiers dead in three days, convoy attacked this morning.
If Brit Hume wants to call our military men and women "soft", I suggest he join up with Baghdad Bob.

10. Chalabi also "knew" about all the WMD and where they were hidden
He "predicted" the UN bombing AFTER it happened.

Chalabi is an idiot Smirk used to help convince Murkuns to invade Iraq.

11. Thank Goodness!
I knew that if we made them desperate enough we would be able to announce it.

And praise Jesus that we don't have to ask those cretins in yurup to help. God bless the USA and Faux News!

13. fauxsux should be indicted along with the maladministration
for misleading the Americans into a war that is turning out just like predicted by the "focus group" who they so cavalierly dismissed.

26. I agree. Blatant lying on the "news" should be illegal
I mean, how bad are people gonna let it get? This is like Goebbels here.

How irresponsible can the US people let them be before we say "enough's enough" and we just shut these assholes down?

"Free press" my ass. This propaganda of the worst kind. It's LIES.

Have we no shame?

I always have such a hard time understanding Brit, while he's spit shining Ronald Reagan's cowboy boots.

18. Good Place to Try This Graphic
Edited on Sun Aug-24-03 10:28 AM by UTUSN
On edit: It uses up too much space. (It was a wingnut, supposed to be turning, but instead each stationary frame pasted.)

28. Such f*cking lies.
If things are going so well or as "planned," then why don't we see pics of the "happy" Iraqis? You know if things were going well, we would be seeing non-stop pics of these "liberated" people.

So where are all these happy people? Show me the money!

29. What a blatant lie!!
State run Television? Glad I quit watching Fox a long time ago. I couldn't stand the lies.

Yesterday, some news guy on CNN said it wasn't as bad over their as the media were saying. WTF? 30 pieces of silver. I guess that's all it still takes.

30. I went through the looking glass!
This is why I felt I went through the looking glass when I went home last weekend to upstate NY. My Mother, Father and Mother-in law all had Faux news on everytime I walked into their homes. Upon questioning them I found they have NO fucking clue what is really going on in Iraq let alone this country. Just like Hume says everything is great and the Iraqis LOVE us! So sad because they took everything I had to say as liberal, alarmist prapaganda! I am not going home again for a long time... :(
