Reuters | 16 Feb 05 | Reuters Headline

You are not alone, John Loftus and John Bachelor were saying the same thing two nights ago.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

But which dog?

It would take balls and that eliminates the bitches (as in female dogs).

[layman]

Believe nothing originating in the Muslim press until it has been confirmed by independent sources ... and being repeated by the Guardian or the U.S. MSM does not constitute confirmation.

[Steel Wolf]

I know they're out of touch and desperate, which is why this apparent sympathy ploy is doomed to fail. The Iranian people (the target audience for this story) are the ones the ayatollahs need to get on board. I don't think that will happen. The people will either see through the charade, or they'll blame their leaders for incompetently provoking the U.S. What they won't do is rally around their government.

Reactions outside the country will be mixed, but either way, it will show Iran to be increasingly desperate.

[txrangerette]

Witnesses paid said to have seen passing an aircraft not identified before the explosion does not occur, indicated Al Alam.

Just a couple of typos, probably in their great excitement at reporting Iran's "we were attacked" story to the world. I fixed it.

:o)

Can't wait to see what the drones pick up.

[keats5]

"Who else besides us, Israel, the Iranians would have an interest in this?"

The european union- but it couldn't be them, could it?

[Earthdweller]

"But I am wondering who else has a dog in this fight?"

A country trying to sell Iran weapons maybe.

[Syntyr]

"Sky News is reporting that Reuters is repoerting that Iranian tv is reporting."

Hey maybe its the other 2 gumen from the NY Mall shooting with their "machine guns"

[mware]

Hey Jim, interesting times we are living in, huh???

[joedelta]

As soon as kennedy sobers up

Aquaman was born drunk and has remaind so since. What makes you think he'll dry out?

[Earthdweller]

Bingo.

[steveegg]

I can wait (it will come out in due time; sometime after a serious attack is underway).

[The Raven]

FOX: "The network later said, however, that the explosion may have been caused by a fuel tank dropping from an Iranian plane."

[Dog]

Yeppers.....thrill a minute....:-)

[mware]

Remind me to never fly Iranian Airlines.

[OXENinFLA]

MSNBC reporting Iran reporting incident MAY have been caused by a fuel tank dropping out of an Iranian plane.

The whole tank? I hate when that happens..............

[steveegg]

Helps to follow the thread; I was quoting someone else so he knew what the response was for (though personally, I don't trust Iranian state-run TV as far as I can throw the transmission tower).
