CNN's "The New Iraq" has morphed into 'The Fight for Iraq"

[mopaul]

odd eh?

[FearofFutility]

1. I just heard that

Very odd, indeed. The "Fight for Iraq" as in "we are going to get your oil" fight for Iraq? Nah....We're just there to spread freedom and democracy. :eyes:

2. Don't watch it anymore

It's bad for my health. I only watch Keith and TDS. We cancelled our local paper (after subscribing for over 30 years) and do not watch the local news. Independent media is the only thing I can stomach--DU, Buzzflash, Rawstory.

I used to be an avid viewer of CNN, but cannot stand it now.

4. I used to have it on in the background all the time,

but now I just can't. The stories they report on are so inane and stupid - they seem to be purposely avoiding real news stories. I just don't get it.

10. me too--all day (on my days off)

I'm talking for years!! Now my house is silent unless I put on AAR or watch C-span. What good is catering to the pro-Corp crowd if no one is watching??

3. It is a more accurate phase I think--as we (and tribes) ARE fighting

for Irag still--or portions of it.

7. Well both are accurate. It just depends upon how you interpret

the word "new." It never had the positive connotation to me that I believe was intended.

5. Interesting. When I flipped to them while watching the hearing yesterday

it was definitely "The New Iraq." That is an interesting change.

[Straight Shooter]

6. It reminds me of another phrase, the "fight for" something.

I just can't remember what it reminds me of. The Fight for (someone fill in the blank)

It's a stupid slogan, really. It's not a "fight." It's a g'damned war.

8. Frank Luntz et. al. at their best

these maggots infest every cultural wound...taking their lessons from Goebbels as they go.

Toxic Sludge is NOT good for you!

9. I heard Condi characterize it yesterday as "Iraq is the central

obstcle to America's future security" how da ya lik dem apples?
JoMama.

11. Whaaaaaaa?

I thought the mission was accomplished. . . . There's still fighting going on?

Refresh my memory - what corner did we just turn?

[mopaul]

12. the corner of DNS and 9/11

[htuttle]

13. One day it will turn into "The Flight From Iraq"
