Dare to dream

Sadly, you hit the nail on the head.

Cherry-picking... the MSM accuses others(Bush) of it... but performs it daily.

May they rot in hell!

What is really confusing is that when democracy fails, the first to fall is the media. Why then are they chopping down their own tree?

Interesting question isn't it. What's the obvious answer?

D@mn it this makes me mad. Those same tapes had Hussein and Aziz stating that at Saddam's word, they were able to resume chemical weapons programs ASAP. Only Fox News covered it. When General Sada came over and said he knows where the WMDs are, only Fox News covered it. Now that this part of the tape has Hussein and his cohorts swearing up and down they don't have anything, they're all over it. Nowhere does this guy mention the other hours of the tape that state that they're ready to resume their program on Hussein's order! F-ing MSM!!!

Exactly. It is mind boggling at times just how bias the MSM have become. Yet where is the RNC, where is the WH! Setting the record straight!

This is frustrating, to say the least.

You've done so much work...I hope someone in the responsible media is monitoring FR and runs with the story.

Yup. If your gonna use this source to bash Bush, MSM, ya better be prepared to discuss ALL the items from that source. Your monopoly on what americans get to find out ended years ago.

There is a book,:

Unholy Alliance : Radical Islam and the American Left (Hardcover)

*******************************

And a review:

****************************************

Communism is dead. Long live Islam!, September 30, 2004

Reviewer:

Kevin Beckman (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews

It sounds absurd: why would Leftists make common cause with a religion that is diametrically opposed to everything the Left stands for? David Horowitz explains that it is really quite logical given the Left's first principle: America is evil and anything or anyone opposed to America is good.

Part I of the book is a brief history of 9/11 through the end of major combat operations in Iraq, and the Left's behavior during this time. Horowitz includes the reaction of Katha Pollitt of The Nation magazine: "The flag stands for vengeance, and jingoism, and war." Anthropology Professor Nicholas De Genova of Columbia University said he hoped for "a million Mogadishus." His colleagues objected, not to the despicable sentiment, but because of the bad publicity it brought their "teach-in." Our tax dollars at work!

Part II is the heart of the book: a history of the American and international Left. Horowitz calls them Neo-Communists or Neocoms. The Neocoms of old believed in the Soviet Union the way religious people believe in God. Those who spied for the USSR didn't see themselves as traitors to their country, but rather loyalists to humanity and an ideal of America that's never existed. When the Soviet Union fell, a few of them stopped for some introspection but most pressed on as if nothing happened. Communist historian Eric Hobsbawm put it nicely: "Without the Revolution, my life and my work are meaningless."

Now that they no longer have to defend an indefensible regime, modern Neocoms are simply nihilists. They know what they oppose but they have no plans for the aftermath of the revolution which they still believe will happen. They don't know what they want, but they know what they hate: the United States, capitalism personified.

So why are they allying with radical Islam? Horowitz says that the Neocoms still believe in Marx's dictum that "religion is the opiate of the masses." Once private property is abolished, the need for religion will vanish, and Islamic radicals will stop being Islamic and radical. The only thing standing in the way is the United States.

Sound insane? It is. They are. I highly recommend this book. Horowitz makes the insanity understandable.

The writer also allows Aziz to get away with the LIE that the weapons were destroyed in 1991. Anyone who knows ANYTHING about this knows that the weapons were hidden and only were revealed to the UN when Saddam's sons-in-law fled to Jordan and gave them up. FIVE years after the search began.

What's even worse - siding with the enemy!

I hated Clinton, but goddam it... I would never side with a brutal dictator or make him look like a victim just to make my him look bad!

Jesus! Imagine hating someone that much that you would rush to defend one of the worst dictators in history just so it would make your own President look bad. That's beyond treason... that's f*cking evil!

NYT is domestic. So is Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC.

Fox is foreign owned and the only one halfway decent.

Amazing. The one document story the MSM picks up on is one which in no context whatever confirms their "Saddam was a charming innocent rogue" line of thinking. Meanwhile, they ignore the later tapes that show Saddam was trying to hide WMD and that he plotted the use of anthrax attacks using Palestinian terrorist groups as well as bio attacks within the US as well as other documents showing that he worked with Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups. Yet the media focuses on one document of many that supports their line without ever questioning that if Saddam was truly wanting UN inspections to end why he didn't give them free and unfettered access rather than obstructing them at every turn. LOL, I guess this should have been predictable that the lapdog media would pull this.

"That's beyond treason... that's f*cking evil!"

I've been preaching that here for a long time. I am so happy to see you think so too!

In 1996 Saddam wondered how to prove to the world his WMD programs were destroyed? Now for someone trying to prove this, I'm just not sure kicking the UN Weapons Inspectors out in 1998 was really the way to approach it which the article fails to mention.
