1. *snort*

Their desperation for war with Iran is really starting to stink, and it smells like old gym socks.

[shadowknows69]

3. Smells like death

wait for it.

[Joanne98]

2. Wolfie just said it again... Sadr flees to Iran...

Does Iran know he's even there?

[flobee1]

7. At this point

They are just flinging crap at a wall and seeing what sticks


The bush braintrust is trying out ideas and waiting for the american people to rally around one of them

[Joanne98]

4. He fled two to three weeks ago..

[VolcanoJen]

9. Michael Ware says he might just be on a trip

CNN's Michael Ware reports that al-Sadr has frequently left Iraq for "diplomatic" trips.

Confirms he's been gone for about two weeks.

[TahitiNut]

13. Ware hasn't been the most objective of reporters ... but better than some.

He's "hostage" to what the U.S. military forces are willing to tell him, just like almost any American journalist ... and he tends to be excitable ... but when he damps down the hype you know it's gotten out of hand.

31. How is this breaking news then? nt

[MoseyWalker]

24. funny how false info

always finds its way into the network news a few weeks or even months after the fact when it may be considered convenient.

[Bucky]

5. Strange bedfellows

Sadr used to be pretty cold toward Iran. Looks like Bush is uniting-not-dividing all sorts of people.

[Ian David]

6. "We're gonna smoke him out. Heh heh. Dead or alive. Now, watch this drive. Heh heh." n/t

[brettdale]

8. Yeppers

I dont even think the MSM whored it up for Iraq, the way they are whoring it up for Iran.

Bin laden must be laughing his butt off, having a grand old time.

[bdamomma]

25. bin laden is applauding bushie right now.

[Joanne98]

10. If he's been there two weeks, it doesn't sound like he's fled!

maybe he's just on vacation.

[TahitiNut]

11. "fled" ... speculation and hype.

I smell a neocon disinformation campaign ... and I won't be trusting any of the spin on this.

[Joanne98]

12. I know. But CNN is treating it as breaking news..

[TahitiNut]

18. I guess the time limit on trips is 14 days and then it's BREAKING? ;-))

I wonder. Do they time the trips? As soon as the calendar flips to the 15th day does it become 'news'? Why didn't they treat the vacation time of Our Leader that way, I wonder.

:evilgrin:

19. Conservative News Network: The Mistrusted Name in News

[donco6]

16. Yes, "fled" is a loaded term, which they know, of course.

And they have absolutely no substantiation for it.

[Joanne98]

14. I got a link. CNN Home page....

http://www.cnn.com/

It's at the top in yellow.

[Little Wing]

15. Bullshit.

[Nutmegger]

17. Sounds like more drum beatinig.

:nuke:

[bdamomma]

20. when is Maliki leaving?????????

[Joanne98]

21. Okay I get it. The US military is closing Iraqs borders. Syria/Iran.

THEY'RE LOCKING SADR OUT OF HIS COUNTRY!

[TahitiNut]

22. I wonder how long it'll be before they claim he's meeting with bin Laden???

Nevermind that bin Laden is a Wahhabi/Sunni extremist with antipathy to al-Sadr. Us dumb Amerincan don't know the differnece.
:eyes:

[Joanne98]

23. Member of Iraqi Parliament just DENIED Sadr left the country..

[The Wielding Truth]

26. Wonder how many times he'll be proclaimed dead?

It's a shame ...that we always have to stand back and examine everything that *Co may send out as news. Iran, from what I've heard, has a standing million man army and it's area is about 75% larger. Here are some stats......


http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/070118/18ira...


You can see the oil out put and the interest *Co has in taking it,but while Iraq was a can of worms Iran would be like attacking the heart of Islam. A bigger mistake. If you think the world is angry now, just think of how they will demand our heads if * takes his chaos to Iran.These people are very civilized and sensitive, but when threatened like us they have turned to leaders who have to posture against the threats.

Their culture is not basically like ours. Yet we should know that they have the right to have their own culture. They have the right to their own resources and they have the right to rule themselves. Of course a actual threat from them would be dangerous but there is a place for diplomacy that must be made to work.

[The Wielding Truth]

29. Thank you for giving me your heart. Happy Valentine's Day, tomorrow.

27. Koinky Dink #6,752. Timed with the first day the House debates Iraq, just strikes me odd.

They've already scared him away!!! Now we have to go into Iran cause......

28. Breaking News: Bush expected to Flee to South America in March

[Bluebear]
