How do we know this is true?

[SEGUET]

Good reasoning though - TOO small a chemical weapons factory - and trrops could get killed -

Go figure - what war on terrorism!!

[Sabertooth]

Someone, please shoot Peter Jennings now!

He looks like a cat that just grabbed a canary

I find that remark highly insensitive.

Iraq Mission Aborted (Peter Jennings looks likes he's happy w/himself)

Though I was born in Canada, I live in America, the country I love to look down on.
Here I am smug and overpaid, and see only American doctors.

So I recommend the Canadian health care system, where medicine is rationed quite well.

Peter Jennings likes his Marx with a very simple script.

If this ever actually happens here, I'll--
Oh... DAMN! My prompter just froze.

Got Marx?

another angle to this is that this information was leaked to further show that iraq is a breeding ground for terrorist activities. i suspect that bush was trying to prove a link between this facility and sodom. he may be still trying to prove it.

6 months from now i suspect that neither the factory or sodom will be standing.

abc and peter jennings are scum.

OK....CNN has breaking news that we might attack this place and Peter Jennings is reporting the attack is off? what is this all about?

[michigander]

As U.S. surveillance intensified, officials concluded the operation was so small and crude that in the final analysis, it was not worth risking American lives to go after it — and also not worth the outcry that might follow any U.S. operation inside Iraq.

We could('ve) throw one of these at it (just for effect)?:

BLU-118/B Thermobaric Weapon

[RoseofTexas]

The media WHORES have HIGHJACKED this operation from the get go!! I HATE THEM!!

[Diddle E. Squat]

Very well done.

[Chad Fairbanks]

He should be hung and the sheeple made to watch something other than TV...

nah... just run it on PBS during their telethon ;0)

I think we just saw a little disinformation put on the real state of affairs in our conflict with Baghdad and Saddam Hussein. The "unreliable" networks and cable shows are allowed to pick up these "leaks" in what seems to be a job of planting various stories, while the real action is going on elsewhere. I have no way of verifying what has gone on and what is being reported is anywhere near the reality of the situation. It may be instructive to go back to the build-up in England prior to D-Day 1944, and the actual launch of the invasion. Hitler knew it was coming, Rommel knew it was coming, but neither knew just when or where, diverting and holding positions far from the actual strike point, and unable to respond quickly enough when the invasion came, thinking Normandy was, at first, only a diversion. The front has already been moving steadily in Iraq, just that the politically unreliable reporters have not been advised of the true nature of what we are doing there.

Now that would get me to pledge a dollar or two!

Well, one could paint "death to Saddam!" on your forehead and drop you down there. You could wear a wire so you could tell us what kind of poisons they were fiddling with and all...

[Litany]

I almost threw a knife at the TV (I was making supper) when I heard him say, quite gleefully, something to the effect that 'the Bush administration will be embarrassed'.

Why did he come back??? It was much better while he was gone. Sure wish I had cable.

[aristeides]

Clever way to make use of unreliable pressies.

I have to confess, the original idea for Got Marx?™ was Registered's. Check out the threads here.
