The "Spin" Begins (CNN): "Iraqis Don't Care Saddam Captured"

CNN ^ | 13 Dec 03 | Unknown

[SkyPilot]

CNN'reporter LIVE from Baghdad is on now (in body armor)reporting that:

"Ordinary Iraqis don't have enough electricity, gas lines are long, they cannot understand why America can't solve these pressing problems. Saddam being captured changes nothing."

Tokyo Rose had nothing on these people.

[Ozarkie]

"Tom Brokaw (to his credit) cut her off and said it was a triumph for the Iraqis."

Then later he was commenting on the celebrations with gunfire. Paraphrasing..."Unfortunately, what goes up must come down and people are dying over there." Unbef***inglievable!

[CWOJackson]

Oh no, another poor victim of a gubermint no-knock raid!

[ladyinred]

I just saw film of Iraqi's dancing and celebrating in the streets! I wonder why huh? Guess maybe they were happy about something. Hmmm.

[Central Scrutiniser]

The conspiro-tards at other sites are already spinning a grand theory, give them a few hours to go through their notes, but something involving the Bilderbergers, the NWO, zionists, Skull and Bones, the guys who faked the moon landing, the illuminati, scientologists and Don Knotts.

Its a sad pathetic life as a conspirationalist, you don't ever have to worry about being wrong, because if someone points out that you are wrong, you change the conspiracy to include your accuser as part of the evil cabal....

"I have boys over at my hole in the ground in Tikrit for sleepovers...it is nothing sexual. I tuck them in at night. It is all very innocent, very sweet."

Is it true that during his down time Mark Geragos will be representing the Hole-Dweller?

[Maelstrom]

As conservatives would say, Kerry CNN.

They're a bunch of Kerrying idiots. Kerry the Clymers.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Things will now begin to change rapidly.

People who have feared Saddam would return to power because the US would pull out if someone like Dean was elected, will now open up as earlier predicted.

Fox News is showing people celebrating in the streets, All of the mass-graves that are being uncovered will hit the airwaves and Commie $"it holes like CNN will look like just what they are. Not to mention, CNN, like the Democrat party, will become even more irrelevant!

Don't miss this thread!

Terrorist Behind September 11 Strike was Trained by Saddam

[July 4th]

That news is so big...I hope it makes the front pages this week after the Saddam stories get run.

[Lurking in Kansas]

Thanks for the link, great video!

[rintense]

Yeah, FNC must have staged the videos of the Iraqi people celerating in the streets too. I wonder what's going on in Dearborn, Michigan?

[discostu]

Right, the Iraqi people aren't dancing in the street celebrating the capture of a blood thirsty dictator. They're trying to keep warm during a bitterly cold winter without utilities. Yeah that's what they're doing, that's the ticket.

CNN needs to learn they're not the only news source, we can see the pictures that prove they're lying.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

The NEW YORK TIMES is really going to have a difficult time with spinning this one to the left!

Even they know that their cynical, "Yellow Journalism" cannot lie around this fact.

[Master of Orion]

The #1 WMD!!

[Redwood71]

The people of Iraq, and the surrounding countries, have lived in fear of this guy for a few decades, and they don't care that he has been captured? This guy still has control, for a while, of bio/chem weapons and the people to use them, and he is personnaly responsible for using them to murder thousands of Iraqi people, and they don't care? He has placed the country in poverty while he personally controls one of the most oil rich areas in the world, and they don't care? He has backed terrorists in his country and others with funds and, God forbid, weapons, and they don't care? How long will it take to have your head surgically removed from your posterior? Well, that's okay, because I don't care.

[jriemer]

I'm watching scenes on CNN showing people celebrating, while on NPR the newswench is saying that people in Baghdad are not happy and are not celebrating because they have no gas, no water, blah, blah, blah.

Ping for the NPR list

[Agnes Heep]

And in other news, Tom Dasshole is deeply saddened...

If I could work my will, his sadness would reach new depths.

[Recovering_Democrat]

CHUCK "I KNOW BETTER THAN THE PRESIDENT" HAGEL IS ON FOX NEWS NOW. WHAT A RINO JACKASS.

[Drango]

Ping for the NPR list

The NPR list is on travel till January. bummer:-)

On CBS, some talking head said that Saddam was beaten as a child. LOL, the defense begins!

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

Hey, it sounds like you are blaming the messenger. You cannot deny their country's infrastucture is a mess. There is a good and a bad side to all this, as there is to everything in life. It's a fact.
