(Vanity) Didn't Take CNN Long To Blame The Iraq War for Amman, Jordan
Live From CNN

Posted on 11/11/2005 12:17:06 PM PST by onyx eyes

Even while the letters from Al Zaqhawri,(sp?) the self-proclaimed mastermind and creator of the deadly massacre in Jordan are being read on the air, the CNN news show on television has their announcers saying something like; "It is going to be extremely hard for Jordan to find and punish the insurgents who did this because during recent times there have been hundreds of thousands of Iraqis fleeing the violence of the war in their own country...."

While on another station, Fox News, it is reported that nearly 75% population of people living in Jordan are Palestinians...

So by their account at CNN, now, it is once again President Bush's fault that the horrible killing in and maiming of innocents in Jordan happened..

My comment. True or not that the Iraqis flee to Jordan (somehow I doubt very many would be allowed into that elite country) -- but either way, should the MSM or at least CNN present the case so as to make it our fault?

Kinda pathetic. cnn blames Iraq for the Jordanian bombings, most Jordanians blame al qaeda and zarkoui. cnn is now more liberal than a muslim nation. Go figure.

At the outset of the war, plans were made for many thousands of evacuees. They did not materialize.

FNC was quick to claim the same. But then FNC is beginning to lean left.

And what about "Burn in hell, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi?" George Bush has introduced hate speech into Jordan. ;^)

The vermin would have come out of the sewer sooner or later, Iraq or no Iraq.

I posted this at 10:01 this morning...what took them so long?:

I've seen some "hints" that the MSM is trying to link our "occupation" of Iraq as the reason for the bombings, since all the bombers were "Iraqi." Hence, "Bush's Fault."

I'm sure it's already on DU, which means it will be on CNN.

Saw on Fox a reporter on the scene report that the King of Jordan in a speech said it was because of Iraq, Kinda, He pretty much said the U.S. was doing such a good job in Iraq that they were running the terrorist out of Iraq and some were coming to Jordan. Also that Jordan must be equally tough against terrorist

Funny ... whenever Al Qaeda is involved, our anti-terror policies (i.e., George Bush) is to blame. It's so sad that the Jordanians hold the terrorists responsible, while American pacifists blame America.

There is simply no way of rationalizing with self-confessed irrationalists.

So, you too, noticed. Glad of it so I dont look like a looney. Hey. Do you ever wonder why people don't appreciate the fact that our war in Iraq has brought out some corruption and evil-doing in the world, like kofi annan and son and the stealing of millions by certain members of the UN, through the Food For Oil program?

Thankfully it was on CNN and thus very few people actually noticed.
