Micheal Ware- Reporting the TRUTH in IRAQ and it AIN'T GOOD!

[FrenchieCat]

While All Eyes Are On Foley, Iraq Is Rapidly Deteriorating
So far we have lost 19 soldiers in Iraq this month, and today is only the fourth day of the month. Just today, the Iraqi government had to pull a brigade of around 700 policemen that have possible ties to death squads http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061004/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_061004182519

Things are going down hill very fast in Iraq, and Michael Ware was on the Situation Room and gave a very dismal view of what is going on.


MUST SEE VIDEO OF WARE REPORTING....

1. It's gone from bad to worse.

[FrenchieCat]

3. But it's not being reported widely enough....all the while, Bush is

fundraising ON OUR FUCKING DIME :mad: and lying about democrats and their abilities to do better! Hell, at this point, could anyone really do worse? Don't think so!

[Olney Blue]

10. I think using Air Force One for political fundraising should be ILLEGAL.

[BrotherBuzz]

21. He signed a bill in Arizona for a photo op

So it's legal - the hell with morals and ethics. :shrug:

[fuzzyball]

17. ANd he is prolly using OUR Air Force One jet for it

2. More truth done by Wes Clark and vets

http://www.vawatchdog.org Survey of Iraq war vets eye opening

[Monkeyman]

4. Here the to vets survey

VetsVote.org

[FrenchieCat]

5. Shows 47% veteran pubs took part, which makes them the

majority....and still, survey shows how miserably unprepared we were and remain! Thanks for the link for those who haven't seen this yet!

6. Ware is not holding back

I saw him twice today, and he is visibly angry and disgusted with the questions the MSM is asking.

[FrenchieCat]

7. I'm surprised they let him speak.......

must be because all of the other reporters are busy locked up in their room scared to death, or somethin'!

[Donna Zen]

13. They may have no choice

He came over from TIME, so he's pretty tight with the Time-Warner family. But more than that, Ware is just about the only person willing to go over there. Ware is still out and about.

[Doctor_J]

8. This guy's on the same network as Leslie Blitzer?

Smirk's biggest fan? Or is this just on CNNi?

[Windy]

9. Ware is fearless and tells the truth.

he challenges Blinker consistently. CNN made a great move by bring him on as a full time on air correspondent. He is or was Time Magazines bureau chief in Iraq. I have great respect for him as well as Christiane Amanpour.

[bananas]

11. What time is he on? nt

[Windy]

12. Hes on all throughout the day, but a lot on the Situation Room

He's also written some very hard hitting Time magazine articles in the past regarding Iraq.

[RamboLiberal]

20. He reports on all the CNN shows that cover the news

I've been singing his praises for a couple of weeks now here on DU. Since I'm usually here on net at 10PM I usually have 360 on and see him. Also see him on Dobbs and Blitzer of course and even CNN's morning show.

He looks and talks like a war correspondent. Is he Aussie? Wonder was it a brawl(s) or boxing where he got the nose so rearranged.

[Tin Man]

24. more info on Ware

[RamboLiberal]

28. Cool - I thought that accent was pure Aussie

But I still want to know how he got his nose rearranged.

[Blue_In_AK]

14. The reporter on ABC, I think it was,

said that things are much worse in Baghdad than they were even five weeks ago when he was there. Foley's entertaining, but we really do need to get back to the broader issues.

[snowbear]

15. Actually we're up to 23 US troops killed this month, plus one UK troop

http://icasualties.org/oif/ ---

But yeah.. I love Michael Ware. Hiring him was by far the best move CNN has ever made!

[Donna Zen]

16. I'm sitting here getting totally pissed off!

Halperin is on Charlie Rose yapping about how rove and the Clintons can use this war in 08. Fuck em all. This is a freak show. They're sitting around nattering and people are dying. Fuck em.

[FrenchieCat]

19. IT pisses me off too.......as they speculate, girate and intepret....

folks are dying.

Thank you Michael Ware! Keep telling us the truth....cause someone that's over there has to!

[Auntie Bush]

18. Stay the Course...or Change the Course? You decide!

Damn typos!

[lpbk2713]

22. Give Smirky credit ----- Mission Accomplished.

It has taken a while but the Boosh administration has finally proven things really were better for the Iraqis under Saddam.

[Pacifist Patriot]

23. A rate of 6 per day (23 U.S. / 1 U.K.) and likely to climb.

Hundreds of thousands dead from depleted uranium.

The Bush crime family is evil. Just plain evil.

[BREMPRO]

25. but we have to stay the course, cuz that's what chimpy says...

and he has a direct line to god,
so i have faith in him,
and even though things look bad right now,
"we're turning a corner"

right.

"they would greet us as liberators with flowers"
4 years later- civil war.

3 new strategies in 3 months... only making things worse.

these guys blew it when they disbanded the army, criminalized the entire civil service, tried to take private control of the oil fields and twist Iraq into a client state for multinational profit motives. It's been all downhill from there and now we have sanctioned death squads operating with support of the shia faction within the govt and an ineffectual puppet that has no credibility cuz he just parrots the US neo-con party line.

but what does Bushco care... they can go on killing each other as long as we can have our oil and taxpayer financed no-bid rebuilding contracts.

I feel for the Iraqis (and the US soldiers caught in the crossfire) since the Bushco f'd their country up. Not a surprise, since they've f'd up our country too.

what do we do now????

[FrenchieCat]

26. What do we do now?

We win the fucking election, that's what! Anything short of that, and we're in deeper doo-doo and even the next 16 years with Democratic administrations won't be able to take us back to where were before these assholes stole our democracy! :mad:

[Donna Zen]

27. Yes, we win and Lamont must beat Lieberman

We can write and call all we want. As long as the republicans are in charge only their base will be listened to. It would especially helpful to oust Lieberman. It would mean that the next push for letters and calls would be listened to. Think of that.

Plus, many, not all, of the new folks are connected to the roots. I'm really thrilled with what I'm hearing from the Fighting Dems. I don't see them taking any shit.
