CNN's Aaron Brown is blaming the hotel bombing on Al Queda.

[maveric]

Does anyone else believe that? I think that an Iraqi group did it.
Would Al Quedabomb a hotel inhabited mostly by Iraqis/muslims?

Or is CNN following orders from the WH to blame everything on Al Queda and keep the fear flowing.

[truthspeaker]

1. no, wait, it's ETA!

[BlueEyedSon]

2. No, it's DEMOCRATS

Quick, check the area for Howard Dean!

[qanda]

3. Was he in a planning meeting with them or

Is he just guessing like the rest of the clueless world?

[maveric]

6. Its his opinion based on reports he recieved from "experts".

Rove is one of those "experts".

[leftchick]

4. Aaron Brown is a moran...

he also makes me want to :puke:

[Chicago Democrat]

10. Aaron Brown is 1) Stupid 2) A dick 3) A jerk 4) Did I mention Stupid?

I dislike him intensely.

[ewagner]

5. Remember Brown interviewed

Abizid (spelling?) just last night and he (Abazid) predicted much more intensity in the violence and hinted that "outsiders" could be involved. Brown is putting two-plu-two together just as he was supposed to...unfortunately the answer comes out to 5.

[seabeyond]

7. al queda doesnt have issue

killing fellow muslims

[Catholic Sensation]

17. *GASP* you... mean... al qaeda isn't a good group of people?

that they are, in fact, a group of murderous assholes instead of the victim of an overzealous press? Heresy I say!

[Cocoa]

8. what's the point of Aaron Brown speculating on this?

how would he know?

[wryter2000]

9. If it were to turn out that it's Al Qaeda

All that would mean is that Bush* made Iraq safe for Al Qaeda to operate in. That's no great thing for Whistle Ass.

[TacticalPeek]

12. True. "Al Qaeda attacks in Iraq increase over 1000% since Bush invasion"

Fly-paper is a poor choice of weapons to bring to a fight with suicidal terrorists, but quite fitting for the lame-brain in the WH.

And this is his big campaign horse? May his clueless followers ride it with him over the cliff in November.

[BlueEyedSon]

16. Yeah, they are up from ZERO

[DoYouEverWonder]

11. Has anyone else noticed

that the war on terra has gone up a notch?

Seems things are really going out of control and Bu$hCo is finding out that all the king's horses and all the king's men, can't fix the mess that W's got us in.

[Tempest]

13. Aaron Brown - Long History of Incompetence

Brown was a loser while a local news announcer (I won't use the word reporter since he wasn't) in Seattle, and he's still a loser.

[orwell]

Aaron Brown's night bed wetting.
The Pretzel incident.

Dick Cheney's sneer.
The Red Sox loss to the Yankees.
Pay-per-view porn.

15. HERE'S THE 10 ZILLION DOLLAR QUESTION--pay close attention...

Would they have blown up the fucking hotel if we had not invaded Iraq????? Goddamn it how these news media freaks never bring in the cause and effect.

[Jacobin]

20. I don't think they like to think about that too much

since the media was absolutely complicit in selling this invasion, and it hasn't quiiiiiiiiite worked out as gloriously as they "thought", using that term very loosely.

[CthelightBthemass]

21. Isn't that like blaming OKC on the burning of Waco?

Would they have blown up the fucking OKC Federal building if we had not burned Waco and the children in the name of gun control?????

[PurityOfEssence]

18. Amazing how they pre-empt all program when they don't know dick

This is a truly tiresome dynamic of the 24-hour news entities: they wildly speculate and try to find anything to cling to, thus showing their biases in the glaring light of day. Now they're going to show some crying family members and try to find some "miracle survivor" under the rubble.

Meanwhile, Jane Araf gushes love about how there was never a fire department here before we invaded; where the hell does she get this crap? You'd think we invented water or something.

They have nothing to say and they have to fill up hours with it in hopes that they can keep the ghoulish focus satisfied.

19. TV producer to 'talent': "Here's some hot pictures. Speculate at length."

In fairness, ABC should run this explosion story while showing file footage of Tim McVeigh and his militia buddies scampering in the forest and talking about the Whore of Babylon. This would be the flip side of the ABC initial coverage of the Oklahoma City bombing, when they showed file footage of mosque meetings, Arabic people with headwear, etc.

Dummies.
