The Dems and the MSM are the greatest allies these terrorists have.

I saw traffic jams, booming business — and everyday life in abundance.

"life in abundance" --- Oh good, I thought you said, "life in an ambulance".!

Whew!!!!

...a great article, one the ancient MSM will not want quoted anywhere.

[Soul Seeker]

Well, you can't say the media/Democrat Party hasn't done their best to attempt to incite one.

Here is another article on the subject by Victor Davis Hanson:

If you are a talk show caller... these two articles will give you lots of ammo.

"THE bombing and bloodshed that pushed Iraq to the brink of civil war....." The start of the AP story two articles ahead of this one on FreeRepublic.

Of course the formerly main stream media screams the bad news, they want us to lose, hence, the name: Defeatist media.

Al Jazeera cant do a better job of spreading lies than the American media.

The MSM is lying about everything. I just wonder how much longer they can get away with it.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

The MSM and anti-Bush gang have been wrong on nearly everything they've said about the WOT, and the Iraq theatre in particular. I wish that I had kept a running list of pronouncements, along with the actual outcomes.

Does anyone know where such a chronology could be found?

I'd like to see some of the worst offenders arrested...live...right at the Anchor Booth...for Inciting A Riot, Fomenting Revolt, Disturbing The Peace...and paraded along the Perp Walk right behind Ebbers, Skilling, Lay and the rest...

...followed by a camera operator appearing on the screen in T-shirt & Levi's saying...

Film at 11...

The ME culture is to respond with violence. This has been part of their culture for hundreds of years.

Democracy "forces" entities, who would probably be killing each other, to work together for a common good. In spite of events like the mosque bombing.

All entities have input and must be listened to. Not necessary equally but based on plurality. That is as fair as it gets in a civilized culture.

And by working together they learn to live with and tolerate each other. Some call this Peace.

The question is: are the Iraqis up to the task.

[eyespysomething]

Oh no, its civil war, I read in/heard it on the news/in the newspaper:

Iraq's Anarchic Civil War

Pulling Iraq back from the edge of civil war

US terms potential civil war in Iraq "serious setback"

Iraq: Civil war precipice

Bush denies Iraq heading toward civil war

Iraq edges closer to civil war

So it MUST be true!!

[FlipWilson]

Nice article, but it misses what is going on with the MSM. I think we have seen much higher levels of violence in Iraq than we are seeing now. But, but, but the MSM has assured us that civil war is inevitable. Unable to wait any longer for civil war to break out, the MSM has just done what they do with everything, they dumb down the definition of civil war. Now, any level of violence supports the MSM's story line, namely, civil war. No more waiting, no more predicting, its happening because the MSM now feels that if somebody is lighting their farts in a public square, its "sectarian violence."

They dumbed down the definition of torture to include handcuffing an enemy combatant or making them feel "uncomfortable" whatever that means. They dumbed down electronic surveillance to mean "domestic spying" and only that even though it has nothing to do with domestic spying and is centered on gathering intelligence from foreign sources.

In short, the MSM and left dumbs down everything such that anything done by Republicans is illegal or unethical. That which was legal yesterday is suddenly illegal today.

The libs in this country shed a tear with this news.

[popdonnelly]

Iraq is on the brink, it's on the edge, it's about to slide...
