Say Goodbye To Mrs. Sheehan

By the same token, I would discredit any report by NYTimes, CBS, CNN, or ABC...

AP's been leaning awfully far left recently too, although they're much more subtle about it. One of the classes I took in my first semester of college was Introduction to Journalism and my professor taught us a bunch of ways that news services subtly inject opinions into their writings.

The media has been given a green light to chomp on the Bush Administration's ankles. They got that after the 2006 election results. Until that time, I never saw Bush held to a real give and take of his policies or ideas that weren't controlled and canned. But don't kid yourself by thinking that going against his programs is a media turned left. The owners know Bush has two more years to do their thing and then they will have to recede to a small degree for a period of time. The eight steps forward and no steps back will change to a two steps forward and two and a quarter steps back con for a while. This is all to facilitate a sociological pressure relief to allow the bleeding, working class time to lick their wounds and suffer the effects of how much was stripped down. But fear not, our presence in Iraq will be permanent. That's how left the media is <laugh>.

Here's another example of MSM ignoring major news stories if they cast a bad light on the GOP:

3 year old, baseless speculation by Palast isnt really news. Its a media campaign for his new book. MARK

Sorry, there is no way in the world that I would read anything from a Fox "News" Service report and give it any weight whatsoever as it has zero credibility. Nada, zilch, none. Anybody that would is delusional. Fox "News" is an arm of the GOP. Right-wing GOP at that.

Populistamerica.com is an acceptable source for you, but you call people that read Fox News delusional? Wow, that really says a lot about your political slant. It must be nice to live in a fantasy world where you can dismiss evidence as being biased without even taking a look at it.

Saddam in 1990

in 1993

Clinton in 1998

And 4 days later, like a puppet on a string, Bin Laden says-

Sounds like 9/11 was ALL ABOUT IRAQ! MARK

can we add a little bit to this history lesson

like:
- the creation of Israel, 1947-1948
- Iran and the Soviets, 1953
- Mossadegh and the Shah, 1953
- the Suez Crisis, 1956
- the Eisenhower Doctrine/Lebanon invasion, 1958
- the Six Day War, 1967
- the strategic relationship and decades of aid to Israel
- the Yom Kippur War, 1973
- the Camp David Accords, 1978
- the Lebanon War, 1982-83
- the Carter Doctrine
- the Iran-Iraq war
- the first Gulf War

it is easy to miss the forest for the trees. The forest in this case is a vast system set up to enable some Americans to manage events...the lives of others, that is in the Middle East. each of the U.S. policies and actions, in Iran and in the Arab-Israeli dispute, has been aimed at bringing about certain results, desired by U.S. policymakers, by regulating the behavior of others, sometimes through the application of force (directly or by proxy) and at other times through the application of money. the question never asked is, quo warranto? Who anointed the united States? The Truman, Eisenhower, Nixon, and carter doctrines command all the awe that presidential names and upper-case letters can evoke, but did those presidents have the consent of the people at whom those doctrines were directed....? At best, they satisfied themselves with the proxy consent of autocratic rulers. That is a peculiar attitude for leaders of a democratic country.


sounds like 9/11 was all about the consequences of US foreign policy
