So when will the mainstream media start their news blitz....

[theHandpuppet]

... reminding folks how the Taliban is funded and equipped by Pakistani Intelligence and it's Saudi money flowing into the hands of their fellow Sunnis in Iraq so they can buy weapons?

We can't be too harsh in our criticism of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia because they're democracies!
Oh wait... that's right, they're not. But I guess they must not need "freedom".

But it was Iraqis and Iranians who flew those planes into the twin towers!
Oh wait... make that 15 Saudis, 1 Egyptian, 1 Lebanese, and 2 from United Arab Emirates.

But what about the USS Cole?
Yemen.

The Khobar Towers bombing?
Our Saudi friends again.

But Ramzi Yousef...
A Kuwaiti of Pakistani descent.

And Khalid Shaikh Mohammed...
A Pakistani-Kuwaiti member of al-Qaeda and Yousef's uncle.

But we can't tolerate extremist theocracies in the Middle East! They're dangerous!
Um... Been to Saudi Arabia lately?

But what about all those insurgents streaming into Iraq from the Syrian border!
Why not? For years the Taliban has been pouring over the Pakistani border into Afghanistan. Oh wait... we're not supposed to bring up the words, "Afghanistan", "Osama" or "Taliban". That's yesterday's news.

Y'know, the manipulation of the sheeple isn't really that hard, is it, not when there are so many folks who simply can't handle the truth. What I can't forgive is the complicity of the media in their all-too-willing participation in this bloody propaganda machine. There are far too many Sean Hannitys and Rush Limbaughs and not nearly enough Keith Olbermanns in the world. History will not be kind.

1. Well said.

Thank you.

2. You're welcome

I either had to get this off my chest or throw a brick through my TV. The blatant propagandist slant in this 24/7 buildup to an attack on Iran and/or Syria is abhorrent and obscene. If these newscasters and journalists are going to blab on about any possible involvement of Syria and Iran in terrorist activites, then by God let's talk about who's really arming and funding these guys - our so-called pals in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. But that would take objectivity and professionalism, wouldn't it, so I'm not holding my breath. The Bushreich must be served.

4. Your right.

I phoned the pres, and all my reps about 4 times last week urging them strongly to at least start talking to Iran and Syria.

6. Do you think this will get much airplay?

Yurbud has just posted a thread regarding ties between the 9/11 hijackers and Saudi Intelligence.

Might as well read it here, folks, because it won't be coming soon to a news outlet near you.
