Looks like the NY Times has done our country another grave disservice. This time revealing the identity of a CIA interrogator. (No link for you, NY Times!)
Is it any wonder that the White House is forced to play games with the mainstream media?
No tags for this post.Great. Another stupid article about how Bush knew there were no WMDs in Iraq.
Not only did Saddam have WMDs, he used them on the Kurds.
What about Georges Sada and the claims in his book? He was in Saddam’s inner circle. He says they’re in Syria.
Saddam played everyone and funded it through the Oil-For-Food debacle.

This is going to be really bad. She’s terrible on the evening news and she’s going to be terrible in the Middle East.
Who’s not going to see this as a really dumb publicity stunt?
I felt it would be really important for the American people to get a big picture of what is going on, in terms of northern Iraq, in terms of Sadr City (and) the Anbar province. People hear all these things and I think it’s really hard—as some people get Iraq fatigue—to keep a healthy and understandable perspective of what is going on. My goal is to provide that.
Yeah, the “Big Picture.” Riiight.
If you want the “big picture” check out Michael Yon’s blog.

Apparently, the “[...] most qualified candidate, in either party, on foreign policy” expert Barack Obama thinks invading Pakistan to root out terrorists is a viable option for the U.S.
It’s surprising that he would say that, since surely aware of the role Pakistan has already played in the War on Terror.
He says he’s qualified in foreign policy. Aside from his anti-war sentiments (which are easy and chic to blab about these days), how is he more qualified?
Oh, OK.

Too bad the interview wasn’t long enough or serious enough.

I’ve been reading Michael Yon’s blog quite a bit lately. It’s a lot to read, but it’s very interesting, IMO.
This particular post, titled “Second Chances,” recounts the Al Qaeda massacre in Baqubah. He mentions stringers for the news agencies and how they gather verifiable information about events in the field.
You’ll have to read it for yourself.

No tags for this post.After reading his book and articles like this, I think we haven’t been fed the real story about Iraq and WMDs from the mainstream media. Don’t discount his story as pro-Bush propaganda. He pulls no punches in criticizing the U.S. and it’s missteps in dealing with Iraq.

After reading this book it really made me wonder why some of his claims haven’t been bantered about in the mainstream media and in Washington. There’s so many details in the book and with Sada’s firsthand interactions with Saddam, Chemical Ali, Tariq Aziz, Uday and Qusay, it’d be crazy not to give him and his book significant credibility.
Here’s some of the details:
It’s a miracle to me that this guy made it out of Iraq alive.
No tags for this post.This seems to somewhat jive with Georges Sada’s book, Saddam’s Secrets, except Sada says that Saddam transferred the WMDs to Syria before the second war started.

One question I do have is this: Is there such a thing as a peaceful Muslim as opposed to a “radical” one? Where are they?
Do you agree or disagree with his premise? Why?

…it surveyed 1,849 Iraqi families in 47 different neighborhoods across Iraq…
I like what one of the commenters said:
The sheer fact that none in the media actually gave this number a real challenge, and many reported it as if it were the gospel truth just goes to show how much they really want it to be real.No tags for this post.

C’mon! Anyone who’s read anything about Ahmadinejad knows he wants to wipe Israel off the map.
“We are against the atomic bomb,†he said. “We believe bombs are used only to kill people. And we are against killing people.â€
Riiiight. Unless you are a Jew.

It’s hard not to get discouraged about the direction that America is taking. I don’t think president Bush is the problem.

As much as people gripe about to so-called “blundering war on terror”, it’s in the interests of the US to keep things like this under wraps. We really have no idea what’s going on, because all we have is a biased mainstream media feeding us a bunch of crap.
