It is possible that the press is complicit and negligent in its reporting on Iraq.

It is also possible that the story has become less sensational or less divisive, for whatever reason.

If you feel the press is bias or negligent in its reporting, it’s possible that you’re right. It’s also possible that what you deem is newsworthy, is not newsworthy to most other people.

The public may have become disinterested in Iraq or the situation may be stabilizing, and hence less sensational. Less newsworthy.

Not as long as we have the Bush/Cheney Corporate-constrolled MSM.

Heh… thanks, toaster head.

I missed that part of Wright’s speech, Kilo.
By the way, what’s your take on Condi Rice’s blame for racism today/
Kinda sounds familiar….

Yup.

We’re living in a Fascist States of America.

225 Iraqis, 1 US Soldier, 3 US Contractors Killed; 538 Iraqis Wounded

I thought you were going to India…

AIDS was developed by the government to kill blacks was what he said.
Apart from claiming it’s 1985 and this whole “AIDS” thing is still mysterious and new to you, I don’t see a way around that for ya.

That’s a prominent, if scientifically incorrect, belief in some segments of the African-American and African-African communities. Just cause it’s not true doesn’t make it a lie when a preacher who believes it says it.

If it turns out there’s no God, does that mean every religious leader in the world is a liar?

Just watched FITNA, can’t wait for Faiz to open comments about it.

Can’t wait spread the hate speech around, huh?

Thanks for the well-informed comment. I found these two links helpful,too:

This latest burst of fighting goes so far beyond “sectarian violence” but, as the latter article suggests, it’s too nuanced for the MSM and we have a president(?) who “doesn’t do nuance.” This is a battle for the future of Iraq snd I think your read on Cheney–who has tied that future to al Maliki’s government–is valid.

Bush: ‘Normalcy Is Returning to Iraq’

My reading is that the US faced a dilemma in Iraq. It needed to have new provincial elections in an attempt to mollify the Sunni Arabs, especially in Sunni-majority provinces like Diyala, which has nevertheless been ruled by the Shiite Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq. But if they have provincial elections, their chief ally, the Islamic Supreme Council, might well lose southern provinces to the Sadr Movement. In turn, the Sadrists are demanding a timetable for US withdrawal, whereas ISCI wants US troops to remain. So the setting of October, 2008, as the date for provincial elections provoked this crisis. I think Cheney probably told ISCI and Prime Minister al-Maliki that the way to fix this problem and forestall the Sadrists oming to power in Iraq, was to destroy the Mahdi Army, the Sadrists’ paramilitary. Without that coercive power, the Sadrists might not remain so important, is probably their thinking. I believe them to be wrong, and suspect that if the elections are fair, the Sadrists will sweep to power and may even get a sympathy vote. It is admittedly a big ‘if.’

This proves that:

IGNORANCE IS BLISS!

NO?

their more likely to find biological weapons there..

By the way, o FACT guru. Obama never “said we should have invaded Pakistan.” Show me a link to a legitimate news source for this talking point that those who live and die by talking points love to site. It never happened, although my guess is that it makes no difference to you; you heard it “somewhere” and it fits into your world view, therefore, it is true. Ignorance is self-pertetuating.

I might just suggest that you cut down on the caffeine, actually read the news rather than spout talking points, and perhaps take an anger management class.

You are a liar, and a racist fool. You don’t fool anybody; your fear of minorities is as clear as your racism. Obama never said we should invade pakistan, and the fact that you would lie about that sheds true light on your ignorance and bigotry.

My goodness… what a nasty, self-serving generalization.

What does “How said” mean?

You mean the guy that printed an editorial calling for and arguing destruction of Israel by a Hamas activist? Yeah, that’s a great sign of good judgment isn’t it? Or maybe you prefer to talk about how Obama blamed Alexander Hamilton and not George Bush and Greenspan/Bernanke for the economic collapse?

Don’t bring up Obama and pretend like his poor personal judgment of aligning with bigots and extremists isn’t a reflection of him and his values. Because if you believe it isn’t, then what does that say about his cluelessness?
