51 Killed in Suicide Bomb Attack (Iraq)
Edited on Wed Jul-28-04 04:28 AM by blitzen
This is the same event covered in the previous thread ("13 Dead in Iraq Blast"). The drastic rise in the death toll warrants a new thread, I think.

7. thousands dead and wounded and still dying on both sides
and we were right. There is no vindication in it, tho, because it hurts too much to bear.

4. If a tree falls in the woods and
no one is around to hear it does it make a sound? The corporate media has buried the Iraq quagmire as predicted, will the People dutifully forget?

6. It's all the Democrats fault!
If they weren't having a damned liberal bushbashinghatefest this week...

The language is slowly emerging showing a civil war too. Notice the use of the term "extremists" killed and arrested vs. insurgents?

10. Nope, you're wrong.
Idiot-in-Chief said "Mission Accomplished". War? What War? The media has other things to cover that are more important such as Scott Peterson and Kobe Bryant.

11. The Dems need to talk about the war MORE.
Most of the speakers at the convention brought up Iraq and our troops dying last night, but Kerry cannot ever miss mentioning them.

Because someone has to smack down this lie that Smirk and the repukes are the ones who support the troops! It's just the opposite. When is the last time you heard anyone from the Pentagon on TV explain what the hell is going on over there? Who cut the VA's budgets? Who is ripping off both the tax payers and the soldiers in terms of food and gas?

Kerry needs to keep this debacle in the PUBLIC'S EYE since the media and the repukes want the public to forget.
