Drudge Smears CNN’s Michael Ware As Alcoholic Activist, Ware Responds
Drudge Smears CNN’s Michael Ware As Alcoholic Activist, Ware Responds
CNN’s Baghdad correspondent Michael Ware has reported from Iraq for four years and regularly corrects the record when politicians mislead about conditions on the ground there. Now he’s under attack.
Yesterday, right-wing Internet gossip Matt Drudge posted an “exclusive” report — based on an anonymous, unnamed source — claiming that Ware had acted inappropriately during a weekend press conference and implying that Ware is an alcoholic:
During a live press conference in Bagdad, Senators McCain and Graham were heckled by CNN reporter Michael Ware. An official at the press conference called Ware’s conduct “outrageous,” saying, “here you have two United States Senators in Bagdad giving first-hand reports while Ware is laughing and mocking their comments. I’ve never witnessed such disrespect. This guy is an activist not a reporter.” […]
This morning on CNN, Ware said the attack was a fabrication: “I did not heckle the senator. Indeed, I didn’t say a word. I didn’t even ask a question. In fact, when I raised my hand to ask a question, the press conference abruptly ended.” Watch it:
Drudge’s “exclusive” also implies that Ware is an alcoholic, quoting an appearance last year on Bill Maher’s HBO comedy show:
Michael Ware has also publicly expressed his views on the war last year in an interview with Bill Maher, saying, “I’ve been given a front-row ticket to watch this slow-motion train wreck … I try to stay as drunk for as long as possible while I’m here … In fact, I’m drinking now.”
It’s clear from the video, which you can watch below the fold, that Ware was joking when he talked about his drinking habits.
UPDATE: AmericaBlog has more.
CNN transcript:
Let me ask you a question. There was a report that said you were heckling and you were laughing during the senator’s press conference. Is that true?
WARE: Well, let’s bear in mind that this is a report that was leaked by an unnamed official of some kind to a blog, to somewhere on the Internet. No one has gone and put their name forward. We certainly haven’t heard Sen. McCain say anything about it or any of his staff have come forward to say anything about it. I did not heckle the senator. Indeed, I didn’t say a word. I didn’t even ask a question. In fact, when I raised my hand to ask a question, the press conference abruptly ended. So what I would suggest is that anyone who has any queries about whether I heckled, watch the videotape of the press conference. Soledad?

Another right-wing talking head display the Republican party’s true values: personal attacks and smears. Just like Jesus taught.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:13 pm“Michael Ware has also publicly expressed his views on the war last year in an interview with Bill Maher, saying, “I’ve been given a front-row ticket to watch this slow-motion train wreck … I try to stay as drunk for as long as possible while I’m here … In fact, I’m drinking now.â€
Yeah, that’s proof right there because as everyone knows, alcoholics are always very upfront about their addiction.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:15 pmHow dare Ware try to speak the truth the American people like this. He MUST be brought down. We’re only allowed to have the “official White House” version of events in Iraq, not the truth. Who cares what casualty numbers say, or what the Iraq people feel, the right-wing talking heads (safely in their US homes) are telling me Iraq is fine and Iraqis want us there. When have right-wing pundits ever been wrong about anything?
/end sarcasm
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:17 pmBy the way, while we’re smearing people, Matt Drudge is a closeted, self-hating homosexual who is wrong on 99.9999% of his “Drudge exclusives”. No amount of flashing sirens will change that.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:19 pmIf Rove can joke about ripping the heads off of little animals Ware can surely joke about drinking because of the Hell the Iraqi conflict is.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:20 pmFrankly, I’m surprised it took this long to start the rightwing smear on Ware.
He’s a fantastic reporter, and I give his reports more weight than any others coming out of Iraq.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:20 pmbased on an anonymous, unnamed source
Oh why don’t they just say Karl Rove. We all know who the #1 annonymous, unamed source is.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:21 pmDrudge=Republican Cultist
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:25 pmI’d like to see a fist fight between that sissy-assed Matt Drudge and Michael Ware—–Drudge scratching and biting while Ware beats the shit out of him.
But at any rare, I heard Ware’s response this morning and believe him over an anonymous, unnamed source . Ware has logged more time in the Iraq combat zone than Drudge, Hannity, Limpbaugh, and all the rest of his critics combined.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:25 pmI wrote to CNN about Michael Ware and told them he was doing a great job. More power to Michael Ware.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:26 pmDrudge is sludge and a certified pathological liar and closeted Gay too.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:26 pmIf I were Ware and had to see what he sees every day, I’d get drunk and stay so. Given the soberness of his reporting, he is not.
“In fact, when I raised my hand to ask a question, the press conference abruptly ended.”
Figures
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:27 pmWare further commented, “But since Drudge reported it, it must be somewhat true and therefore CNN will run with this story for the next three days.”
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:27 pmWHUTTUP zOOEY!
The SLUDGE report??!!?
LYING?Unsubtantiated slander?
never.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:29 pmGive Drudge credit, he put this link up also to a report in which Ware slaps the whole thing down.

By the way, what’s up with Lindsey Graham buying five rugs? Maybe he’s redecorating…
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:30 pmWhen facts clash with emotion, the GOP tends to side with and endorse the emotional aspect of the story–especially when the facts are contrary to their ideology. They don’t like what Matthew Dowd says about the Bush White House? “He’s having problems at home.” Don’t like the bad news pouring out of Iraq from Michael Ware? “He’s a drunk and unreliable.” Those pesky facts have a way of giving the GOP one kick to the nuts after another.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:32 pmthey are so very desperate
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:32 pmHey whitey,
I’m getting ready to leave for school. How’s it going?
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:32 pmThose pesky facts have a way of giving the GOP one kick to the nuts after another.
Comment by AboveTheClouds
Right. As it should be.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:33 pmWare doesn’t care that his nose is on the side of his face so do you think he cares about this pissant Drudge?
Six Pack, that would be a quick fight.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:34 pmLet’s see, who am I gonna believe, some guy that runs a sh!tty looking web site, that looks like it crawled outta 1992. (Hey Drudge, it’s called web design, get some) or a guy that has been living in Iraq since day one?
I am gonna go with crappy web site guy.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:35 pmcan I give the GOP one swift kick to the nuts after another??I’ll do it for free…
:)
Dandy like candy,Zooey, Dandy like candy…
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:36 pmIt’s way past time for Drudge to be outed as Gay. Out Rush Limbaugh too.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:36 pmThis Michael Ware guy is so not a hero. He’s only spent 4 years in Iraq trying to report events. How dare he say things aren’t going great.
Just because he puts himself in harms way to speak the truth does not mean he should be treated with the same respect as Drudge, O’Reilly and Limbaugh.
If he does in fact have a drinking problem then he better get to the White House so he can replace Tony Snow PRONTO! Now there’s a job that requires some serious inebriation.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:37 pmI would hope McCain and Graham will respond, but I’m not holding my breath.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:39 pmDuring a live press conference in Bagdad, Senators McCain and Graham were heckled by CNN reporter Michael Ware. An official at the press conference called Ware’s conduct “outrageous,
Drudge asserting through proxy (because that’s really what this “unnamed source” is) that Ware’s conduct was “outrageous” is black humorous in a silly sort of way, coming as it does from The Eggman.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:39 pm#15 – Perhaps Graham and his family are closeted Allah worshipers – can’t let that get out.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:41 pmDrudge, your credibility is in serious doubt. You had better produce evidence NOW, i.e., a videotape of Ware “laughing,” or face serious declines in your readership.
The clock is ticking…Until then, I reserve judgment on the merits.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:42 pmSo instead of debating the serious topic of how bad things have become/are becoming in Baghdad and Iraq, we get the standard GOP yelling match. The debate will now become a “he said/he said” argument over whether a left leaning reported (since fact are known to have a liberal bias) said or did something to disrespect those in power. Because you known we haven’t changed since the 60’s, when we were a bunch of rude and unwashed hippies.
Meanwhile our soldiers and innocent Iraqis die daily.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:42 pmMeanwhile, it’s noticable that the latest bizzare rants from Chimpy :
he’s been hitting the sauce.
Let’s talk about this GOP.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:46 pmBy the way, what’s up with Lindsey Graham buying five rugs? Maybe he’s redecorating…
Comment by Pinson
Just another rich Repuglican taking advantage of some desperate guy trying to put a meal on his table.
What gets me is that Graham has the GALL to brag about only paying $5 bucks total for them. Even in Iraq that is absolutely a basement price, and it just serves as an outrageous display of an American politican taking advantage of a poor merchant.
Lindsey Graham showed just what a classless, Repuglican butthole he really is.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:47 pmI’d rather have a bottle in front of me, (Ware),
than a Frontal Lobotomy’. (Drudge).
Boy, more lies from the Bushlickers in the ethernet this Monday a.m. than usual.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:49 pmW, life is like a sled…once you start going downhill, you go faster & faster & faster. Hitting bottom is the real bitch. Hang on tight, your ride is just about over.
As usual, when they can’t debate the issues, they attack the messenger…
Drudge is a test for your sanity. How much you believe him equals how much Lithium you need…
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:50 pmHas anyone else been expecting Gonzo and/or other members of the justice department to admit that they have a drinking problem and checking in to rehab? That seems to be a normal repub response to getting caught.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:50 pm…“here you have two United States Senators in Bagdad (sic) giving first-hand reports while Ware is laughing and mocking their comments. I’ve never witnessed such disrespect.”
Obviously Drudge has never paid any attention to the reception those two fools masquerading as Senators get at home.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:52 pmNext time a right wing idiot tries to reference the Drudge Report in a debate, I suggest laughing and heckling them.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:52 pmHey if Graham had given the merchant more than $5 for 5 rugs that guy would have taken those big profits and supported the terrorists - after all they ARE all in Iraq, aren’t they?
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:52 pmLindsey Graham showed just what a classless, Repuglican butthole he really is.

Another term from the Vietnam war era that’s making a resurgence:
Ugly American.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:53 pmWare has abudantly more creditbility than Graham or Mccookoo. When’s the last time Mccain met members of Al Queda in Iraq face to face?
If I had been in Iraq as long as Ware has and seen the things he has seen, I be drinking like crazy too. Drudge is a limp wristed little sally that should get his ass over to McCain’s Iraqi funzones and do a little broadcasting.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:57 pmCheck out the above thread.
Snipers are back at the marketplace McCain visited yesterday.
That’s progress. No snipers for 1 friggin’ day.
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:57 pmDid Drudge buy $5.00 rug from that peaceful street in Baghdad?!!
April 2nd, 2007 at 12:59 pmMichael Ware was attacked because his story on CNN contradicted McCain and senator’s Graham stories about the situation in Iraq.
Time for ’swift boating’…
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:02 pmDrudge is an idiot. Really, truly… a bona-fide e-vegetable.
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:02 pmWare’s telling the truth; anything else is pure drivel & propaganda. We can see for ourselves that what Drudge is dredging up is nonsense.
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:02 pm…“here you have two United States Senators in Bagdad (sic) giving first-hand reports while Ware is laughing and mocking their comments. I’ve never witnessed such disrespect.â€
No one but barbara cartland characters talk like that. But rethugs eat the shit up.
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:03 pmI’m not sure I want to be here for the 2008 election, if this crap has begun already.
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:07 pmGraham, Mc Cain regular carpet baggers , shamefull lies , shameless bragging. And we went to war for these a….holes
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:08 pmDrudge is pretty quick on that “smear the messenger” thing. I see Karl Rove is handling not using e-mail just fine.
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:11 pmmaybe alcoholism’s contagious, and ware’s been hanging out with christopher hitchens
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:11 pmBaseless, cowardly attacks like this are the right wing’s stock in trade. It is all they know.
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:12 pmGraham got 5 rugs for 5 bucks, but those rugs cost McCain his chance for the White House.
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:13 pmI’m tired of the bitching and moaning about Drudge. Why do we stop there? Why do people accept his constant slander, libel, lies etc etc? I’ll tell you why. Because we’ve all been dumbed down and desensitized over time. That’s why. It’s time to sue the bastard and repeatedly….every time he does it.
LEGAL DEFINITION OF SLANDER:
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:14 pmslander n. oral defamation, in which someone tells one or more persons an untruth about another which untruth will harm the reputation of the person defamed. Slander is a civil wrong (tort) and can be the basis for a lawsuit. Damages (payoff for worth) for slander may be limited to actual (special) damages unless there is malicious intent, since such damages are usually difficult to specify and harder to prove. Some statements such as an untrue accusation of having committed a crime, having a loathsome disease, or being unable to perform one’s occupation are treated as slander per se since the harm and malice are obvious, and therefore usually result in general and even punitive damage recovery by the person harmed. Words spoken over the air on television or radio are treated as libel (written defamation) and not slander on the theory that broadcasting reaches a large audience as much if not more than printed publications
Did they bring home a rug for Specter?
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:14 pmHis is wearing thin & needs a dye job badly.
Raw has a story with video refuting Drudge’s claims:
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:19 pmhttp://rawstory.com/ news/ 2007/ CNN_reporter_slams_Drudges_charge_that_0402.html
Michael Ware is an “…an alchoholic” and Matthew Dowd “…is suffering from personal problems.”
When they can’t defend the message, attack the messenger. Will some day the media call this administration on their smearing of any and all critics?
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:20 pmDoes everybody see now?
We have been heralding this feature of the right wing for years now.
When ANYONE, and I do mean ANYONE, dares to challenge anything the right wing says, they do not attempt to discredit the challenge, but instead attack the challenger.
Does everybody see that?
Forget Michael Ware has been imbedded in Iraq since the beginning. Forget he has worked with the Military and the Iraqi’s and has the BEST first hand real time information out there. Forget he has risked his life on a day in day out basis, for FOUR YEARS.
Forget all that.
Some pompous, arrogant little right wing prick says he’s a bad guy now, because he won’t say what they want him to say.
Forget discrediting his information.
Just discredit him.
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:20 pmHey big thinkers, your own headline is more misleading than Drudge’s whole story. Drudge repeated Ware’s own words verbatim from his Bill Maher appearance.
The alluding to, or word alcoholic was never used, and the only mention of drinking or alcohol was the quote from Mike Ware himself.
How deceptively ignorant can you guys get?

This is about good and evil.
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:31 pm[…] turned out to be totally false. He isn’t running a correction, but Ware has responded, saying the following: Well, let’s bear in mind that this is a report that was leaked by an unnamed official of some […]

So you are suggesting Drudge did not state that Ware is a liberal activist?
Are you suggesting Drudge did not state that Ware “HECKLED” the senator, when all he did was raise his hand to ask a question?
Better buy a calculator if you think that is the match.

Sorry there buddy, you can’t referee your own debate, which I might add, was pathetic. This reading comprehension you speak of? Try it some time. Did Drudge mention it was clearly a joke? No? Then he was using it to smear Ware. Simple as that. Oh, wait Drudge and pathetic right wing zombies like you wouldn’t take something out of context!!!!

Comment by 186′d — April 2, 2007 @ 1:30 pm
Ummm, reading comprehension you say? Okay, from the thread directly:
Drudge’s “exclusive†also implies that Ware is an alcoholic, quoting an appearance last year on Bill Maher’s HBO comedy show:
Hmmm, implies? What doest that mean, exactly? Oh, well here’s a good definition…
To express in a suggestive manner rather than as a direct statement.
So, you’re overall argument of a misleading headline is now debunked!
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:49 pmGame Set Match indeed!
And since you’re in a combative, but defeated mood, please explain the relevence of Ware’s sarcastic statement of drinking every day to his non existent outrageous behaviour at a press conference?
Take your time in not responding!
Druge, in typical “pretend it never happend” fashion, has pulled the Michael Ware smear from his site.
I really need to start a site that simply lists all of the Drudge “exclusives” that turn out to be nothing more than fabricated lies…

Comment by 186 — April 2, 2007 @ 1:30 pm
The word was never used, but the implication was clear: quoting Ware as if he were serious was to grossly misrepresent what happened during his appearance in Maher’s how.
and the only mention of drinking or alcohol was the quote from Mike Ware himself.
Yes, and he was joking. That much is quite obvious to anyone with half a brain.

April 2nd, 2007 at 1:50 pm-this is what the dogs of war in d.c. accuse all those who are telling the TRUTH
“It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face, was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime ”

Didn’t McCain hire a bunch of Bush’s dirty campaign pros to work on his campaign? Leave it to some Rove wannabes to spread some bullshit like that.

In BushCult-land, raising your hand to ask a question is heckling and can earn you the label “radical leftist extremist”.
You are not supposed to question your betters, don’t cha know?
/sarcasm off
April 2nd, 2007 at 2:37 pmIt’s obvious that Rove et al. have decided to smear Ware because he consistently gives honest, powerful reportage from Iraq, all of which consistently contradicts the rose scenario purveyors. The iron is that they will get Ware more attention and more credibility by attacking him in such a foolish and dishonest way.
April 2nd, 2007 at 2:41 pmIt’s way past time for Drudge to be outed as Gay.
David Brock (who’s gay himself) already outed The Eggman in his book Blinded by the Right.

I’ve always liked Ware: next to Amanpour, he’s the only other objective voice CNN has.
April 2nd, 2007 at 3:29 pmWhy are liberals so full of hate?
April 2nd, 2007 at 3:31 pmWhat Michael Ware has is a good memory, unlike the geriatric McCain.
Ware has heard some many lies about success in Iraq that he no longer falls for them and he has no problem pointing out McCain simply spouting propaganda.
Unlike McCain, who drudge also pointed out, on the same day, couldn’t remember if Kerry asked him to be his VP candidate.
Why would anyone trust someone who’s memory is that poor?

Comment by phil — April 2, 2007 @ 3:31 pm
So you call carpet bombing, then invading a country, slaughtering their citizens like cattle, imprisoning them by the 10’s of thousands, destroying their homes, buildings and infrastructure, and act of love?
In fact, don’t bother to answer that, I am sure you do.
What I hate jackass, is evil.
And you are evil.
April 2nd, 2007 at 3:44 pmwhen I read your story I went straight to the CNN comments link and send in glowing praise of Ware.
I also pointed out that being attacked by Drudge was further indication of how capable and effective a reporter he is.
Could I suggest you ask all your readers to contact CNN as well as the other blogs, on his behalf, he certainly deserves everyone’s support.
April 2nd, 2007 at 3:54 pmYou’re right 186, “Game, set and match”
or how about “Mission Accomplished”? That seems to have worked out well….
April 2nd, 2007 at 4:03 pmAnd if anyone thinks its over the top to call this clown “evil”, just remember this.
The greatest tool of evil, is the lie.
Always has been.
Always will be.
April 2nd, 2007 at 4:07 pmWare is basically a puppet who says whatever his Al Qaeda stringers tell him to say.

One troll scurries away with it’s tail between it’s legs and another shows up!
April 2nd, 2007 at 4:15 pmPROOF DRUDGE LIED ABOUT THE PRESS CONFERENCE:
http://rawstory.com/ news/ 2007/ CNN_reporter_slams_Drudges_charge_that_0402.html
See the video for yourself. Where did Ware “heckle” in any way???
Drudge and the right-wing blogs LIE, once again.
April 2nd, 2007 at 4:20 pmFirst, note that it took Michael Ware a bit of time to actually deny he heckled McCain.
Second, note that Ware spends the first part of the interview accusing McCain and others of repackaging old news as new. McCain said he has never been able to go out into the city as he has been now. Michael Ware says that generals do it all the time, so this is not news, but propaganda according to Ware.
Here’s the funny thing though, Ware said the things McCain mentioned as showing signs of progress are “no way a sign of the real progress of the surge, which the Senators should be talking about.” And his vocal emphasis was on the words “which” and “should.” Go see and listen for yourself. Start at 1:20 mark.
What this tells me is that Michael Ware thinks there were other signs that the surge is working and McCain and the administration *should* focus on those signs.
My question is, has Michael Ware? Every report I’ve seen from him in Iraq has been to emphasize what a disaster the war has been and is. He is not focusing on the signs of progress either. Instead, he’s using his unique outlet to the world to convey terrorist propaganda films of the terrorists killing American troops while Ware willingly provides commentary.
Why is Ware still at CNN?
April 2nd, 2007 at 4:23 pmLooks like 186 is just another pathetic troll making a cowardly hit, then running away with its tail between its legs.
April 2nd, 2007 at 4:27 pm#104 You pathetic plagiarizer. You just took that from a post at Red State and copied it here. Pathetic little cypher.
April 2nd, 2007 at 4:27 pmhttp://rawstory.com/ news/ 2007/ CNN_reporter_slams_Drudges_charge_that_0402.html
Patrick1, open that link. It has video of the actual press conference in question. Please, open the link and see for yourself what happened. How is Ware “heckling” anyone? He doesn’t even get to speak or ask a single question. He doesn’t do anything wrong at all. This entire effort to smear him is just disgusting.
In case you didn’t know, about a week ago, Michael Ware was on the air saying Democrats were “aiding the enemies of America” by putting together a plan to withdraw in a year, so he’s obviously not a partisan Democrat, or even in favor of withdrawal from Iraq, despite your efforts to paint him as some kind of anti-war leftist.

April 2nd, 2007 at 4:29 pmComment by Patrick1
the video footage seen linked by me and a few others, shows it happened just as Ware stated.
Guess that make both you and Drudge liars.
April 2nd, 2007 at 4:30 pmBut we already knew those facts too, patrick dumbass
And it is wrong how?
April 2nd, 2007 at 4:30 pmWhat this tells me is that Michael Ware thinks there were other signs that the surge is working and McCain and the administration *should* focus on those signs.
Who the f*ck are you trying to kid, Patrick1? What a joke. Why don’t you tell us about some crazy a*s interpretation of Revelations, while you’re at it.
Sheesh, talk about inventing reality out of nothing. You should audition to replace Krauthammer when he finally blows one fuse too many.

I’ve read Patrick’s posts. Actually, I’ve tried to read and comprehend them. As JPark has pointed out, that was no Patrick post on #104. (But he does get brownie points for figuring out the cutty and pasty thing on his puter screen)

April 2nd, 2007 at 4:34 pmMichael Ware = the right’s new “Jamil Hussein”.
Pretend one single messenger has an agenda, or is lying, and you can use that to discredit ALL reporting out of Iraq.
This is just the latest effort by the right to hide their heads in the sand.
They’re not even logical in their delusions. If everything in Iraq is fine, why did we even need a “surge” in the first place? According to the right-wingnuts like powerline, or michelle malkin, etc., all these negative stories are just lies, and Iraq is going really well. Why did we need the “surge” of more troops then?
If you can stroll down the streets of Baghdad without protection, THEN WHY ARE WE STILL THERE???? That sounds like we’ve stabilized the country, so can begin withdrawing, right??? Mission accomplished, right?
April 2nd, 2007 at 4:35 pmI love it when a pathetic little troll sticks its little head out of its little shell and has it promptly chopped off. How about, 186? How about it Patrick1? How do you losers feel about that?

It all makes me wonder why losers like Jake and Patrick1 show up day after day, peddling the same ridiculous lies no matter what.
April 2nd, 2007 at 4:38 pmWell, since about 70 percent of the country agrees with us, and 30 percent of the country agree with dumb and dumber here, all they are doing by smearing this man, is making people who didn’t really notice him before, like him.
:O

April 2nd, 2007 at 4:40 pmJake and Patrick, I wish you guys luck trying to explain ten years from now why you continued to support the Bush regime long after it was discredited and destined for nearly universal condemnation.

In Viet Nam the DRV and the Viet Cong had attacked the RVN and were trying to spread communisim throughout southeast Asia.
Iraq was trapped by us on all sides and currently doing nothing when we bombed the shit out of them.

iraq had killed 400,000 of its own people, 750,000 of its neighbors, invaded two of hits neighbors, launched missles at our ally israel, paid money to families of suicide bombers, bribed half the security council in the oil for food scandal, violated 14 u.n. resolutions…..yea swell place….
using the same liberal view that iraq and saddam were “contained”, then why not apply that logic to the latest liberal cause in darfur. darfur is part of sudan, sudan is contained, they are not doing anything to us, so why stop them from killing their own people? is a life in darfur more important then a life in iraq? i guess in the democrat primary it is.

You’re an idiot.
Iraq was in a box.
If you remember 2003 you’ll remember that Saddam had to sleep in a different house EVERY NIGHT.
Moron.
The CIA said they were literally down to only about 6 hours behind him, and they were getting closer.
You’re a fool.
We all know Saddam was a bad guy. And the CIA was going to get him sooner or later. But you idiots thought he was worth more than 3000 Americans dead, 20,000 wounded, half a million dead Iraqi’s and millions wounded and displaced, 700 Billion dollars, and the current ethnic cleansing that is taking place while we watch.
No one is arguing Saddam was a bad man. But there are LOTS of bad men in the world.
Too bad we have to number our own President among them.
April 2nd, 2007 at 11:44 pmAnd Saddam wasn’t currently waging war on his own people you grade school dropout.
He was too busy running for his life.
If you had half a brain you’d remember that from 2002.
But you don’t.
Saddam was a dead man. Period. It was just a matter of time.
But you jackasses. You cost the US thousands of our young men and womens lives, 700 billion dollars and counting, slaughtered and helped to be slaughtered half a million people or more, destroyed an ancient countries history and destroyed its infrastructure all to get one man.
And worse, you cost us our international credibility and respect.
We are most hated now.
So listen up. You can debate the morals of your neocon facist bullshit till you’re blue in the face, but at the end of the day, its you’re utter incompetence that has done you in.
Or did you think you still had a prayer of being taken seriously any time in the next decade or two?
April 2nd, 2007 at 11:51 pmIn the words of Forrest Gump, “stupid is as stupid does“.
April 2nd, 2007 at 11:56 pmthis war had to be fought on some front…..better the oil rich, educationaly and militarily advanced iraq then the resourceless afghanistan. changing iraq, due to is wealth and position in the region, can influence the entire middle east forever more. this is the chance to either wipe of extremision and bring democracy, or to feed extremisism by running away like cowards.
was korea worth 55,000 soliders? was vietnam worth 58,0000? ww2 worth half a million? this nation should be willing to sacrafice as much as our grandparents did during ww2, seeing that islamic extremism is far more dangerous then hitler ever was. maybe killing half a million americans is ok as long as your a democrat….funny, vietnam wasnt a problem until it was passed from a democrat off on a republican….i hope bush passes this off to hillary…what goes around comes around
April 2nd, 2007 at 11:56 pmour president is one of the strongest leaders we have ever had. his predecessor was the soft, poll crazed, ego maniac that gifted rapped 9/11 for osama. ignoring CIA suggestions to capture or kill bin laden, refusing to respond to the 93 bombing, black hawk down, 2 embassy attacks, kobar towers, uss cole……all the while doing nothing but fiddling interns while 17 al queda trained in flight schools right under his nose. clinton couldnt make a tough decision, not if it dared effect his polls. a real leader can make unpopular decisions without worrying about his legacy, doing what is right isnt always doing what is popular. american people want to just get out…but the american public are not military experts…why would you take military advice from a waitress in boise or an actor in hollyweird or a steel worker in pittsburgh….maybe the liberals should all patraeus to do his work and put a sock in it…they are watching a modern churchill command a modern eisenhower…and they need to stop it…because american deaths in iraq is electoral gold for the left.

really? is that why a puppet court just put the country’s leader to death for a mere 148 deaths? why werent the entirety of saddams crimes put on display for everyone to see?.. oh wait.. we helped him commit the majority of them… and wernt those 750,000 foreigners he allegedly killed IRANIANS? dont we dislike them? arent we talking about bombing them ourselves? didnt we help saddam bomb them? oh.. and how many Iraqis have been killed because of United States actions? should we use the same logic on ourselves that your using to demonize the former iraqi government?
invaded two of hits neighbors
hahahha. dude.. we HELPED and ENCOURAGED THEM to attack Iran… and you’re now using that as justification for our invasion? its like giving someone a gun, knowing what they are going to do with it, then condemning them when they do… HIPOCRITE
launched missles at our ally israel so does lebanon..should we bomb them too? hezbollah was launching the missles and it was part of the lebanese government.. so they deserve some airstrikes from us too, right?
and I’m sorry, I dont recall exactly what Israel does for us in return for us fighting thier wars for them….. can you remind me again?
paid money to families of suicide bombers the saudis have frikking telethons for them, implicitly sanctioned by thier govern
