Oops ! Did Associated Press call Obama a liar ?

Immediately following President Obama's declaration that the U.S. combat mission in Iraq has "ended," the Associated Press circulated an internal memo stating, "Combat in Iraq is not over."

"To begin with, combat in Iraq is not over," writes AP standards editor Tom Kent in an internal memo obtained by the George Soros-funded Media Matters, "and we should not uncritically repeat suggestions that it is, even if they come from senior officials."

Continued Kent: "The situation on the ground in Iraq is no different today than it has been for some months. Iraqi security forces are still fighting Sunni and al-Qaida insurgents. Many Iraqis remain very concerned for their country's future despite a dramatic improvement in security, the economy and living conditions in many areas."

The memo notes Obama's national address last week in which the president stated, "The American combat mission in Iraq has ended. Operation Iraqi Freedom is over, and the Iraqi people now have lead responsibility for the security of their country."

Thanks. That one was cut short though. Here’s the one at the White House You Tube site. It’s about 18 minutes. http://www.youtube.com/user/whitehouse?blend=1&ob=4#p/u/11/yzO9LZzZoOk

Get over it. You’re not that important.

[humblegunner]

You’re not that important.

Sure she is. Far more than some others.

[Allegra]

LOL! Great rejoinder there. Spoken like someone who is utterly defeated.

What are you going to do now that I've called you out, exposed you and completely owned you?

Start slipping nasty keywords into threads?

Get your friends to stalk me?

Yeah, you know you've done all of that before. That's the sort of thing terrorists do. They're cowardly and won't fight head on....they pull sneak attacks and then run. I believe you were spanked for that. Don't you learn?

You're a piece of work, you know that?

But it was great fun taking you down this evening. It's high time someone did.

I wouldn't recommend trying any more of your cute little tricks with me.

Next time, I might not be as nice. :)

[Salamander]

She’s extremely important to some of us.

[TheOldLady]

Actually, Allegra’s more than important; she’s essential.

[BykrBayb]

Why are you posting a personal attack against a freeper who probably doesn’t even know this thread exists? Did humblegunner fail to tell you who that is? Or maybe fail to tell you the truth about who that is? Just asking.

[BykrBayb]

Of course. Where would we all be without posts like #44? Or were referring to her role as a warrior?

[metmom]

Why are you getting so bent out of shape?

BB didn’t insinuate anything about you in her posts. Why take it so personally?

[metmom]

I apologize if something I said struck a nerve.

Throw a rock over the fence and the dog that yelps is the one that got hit.

You said nothing wrong. You made it clear that you were NOT talking about her. You thanked her for her service (post 27) and this is what you get?

You'll never win with some people.

Sorry, Allegra, you are way over reacting on this one.

[BykrBayb]

Thank you.

[Salamander]

Just as a good, valued and honest friend.

[Allegra]

LOL - it's the "Stalk Sisters" back in action. You're kind of late; I've already mopped the floor with your little friend.

And don't be silly. She's pulled this sort of thing before and I've ignored it. Instead of being big about it and moving on, she continues to do it. It doesn't take a rocket scientist or a traveling salesman to see what she's clearly insinuating.

She's couching her insults in her little smokescreen so she won't get banned.

I'm not stupid and didn't fall off the turnip tree yesterday.

I wish she weren't so bitter and angry...I actually feel sorry for her. But I'm not going to put up with her crap anymore.

Hope you're feeling OK.

Don't you just hate it when you think you're being so sly, but people can see right through it? LOL

[BykrBayb]

How nice for you. Btw, isn’t that another one of your friends in post 44?

[floriduh voter]

So, bottom line is that NOBODY has my permission to put my photo on this thread; especially a clown posse retread.

[Allegra]

Or were referring to her role as a warrior?

LOL - you keep slipping up.

You try to imply you weren't referring to me in all of those previous, cowardly insults, but then you make it clear that you did mean me. LOL - I tried to tell you that you aren't as clever as you think you are.

You dish it out and then when you get owned, you complain and make a statement like that. Ooooopsie!

Cheer up - maybe the next one will land on me and you and your friend can have a party. ROFL

[TheOldLady]

She really must have hit a nerve with that Post #44. Can it be that the truth is hurting you? Personally, I like a nice, forthright person like Allegra, and I find passive-aggressive people to be contemptible.

[Salamander]

I have no idea who that is.
Don’t recognize the face.

[trisham]

I am quite distressed to see some of my very favourite FReepers at odds with each other. I’m not really sure how or why or what is happening, but I do wish it would end. :(

[humblegunner]

I’m not in this, it’s a chick fight!
