"New positions opening up every day."

Yep: "Now hiring. Good pay, short hours. Very short."

Bump!

What an absolute condemnation of the so called media. The drive by's of the world should be ashamed, but we all know better now don't we?

[rightinthemiddle]

I hear a ZOT coming...

"Other documents stressed the need to manipulate Moslem and Western media. This was to be done by starting rumors of American atrocities, and feeding the media plausible supporting material."

And the MSM - Time, Newsweek, et al - were only too happy to comply. Just yesterday, it came out that the "human rights organization" that fed the media the Haditha video consists of two members, one of which is a relative of jailed insurgents. The organization was previously unknown, is unregistered, and has zero track record of any prior involvement in human rights cases. A media that had no problem zeroing-in on Michael Brown's mediocre credentials didn't even bother to check this one out.

Me? I have no problem with that.

But.....

I'd mark their names down in a book and if they were found outside Iraq with a gun or bomb in their possession I'd have them shot on the spot.

Sounds just like the NY Times!

The NY Time isn't even fit to cover the bottom of a bird cage.

We can only hope. I don't understand why he wasn't laughed out of the senate when he said there was no gunfire and no Marine (or military) KIA. Facts are facts, but I guess that doesn't matter to those lying sacks of doo doo in the senate.

What would be really "Nice",IMHO, would be if the "treasure trove" of info collected so far with Z's death, has documented proof of Iran's involement of aiding in the killing of US and coalition forces and civilians in Iraq.

I thought I just saw a crawler on Fox that said Iran is now ready to consider discussing the "offer" just proposed to them concerning their nuclear "program".

Why are they NOW suddenly willing to start negotiations??

I agree, if we are really serious about Iraqi self determination, then at some point an amnesty will have to be part of the deal. Amnesty doeesn't sit well with me but....it may be the lesser of two evils. The Iraqi security forces are getting better, and will in the future be a formidable force, but they are not there yet. Getting the Sunni's to the table will give us the time needed to spool up the remaining Iraqi formations so they will be able to stand alone. I think this is just one big a$$ horse pill we may have to swallow to git-er done.

[Bitsy]

Maybe Mr. Soros and his billionaire buddies won't allow the MSM to cover the story since MSM have sold their souls to the devil a long time ago anyway.

[Enterprise]

I'd like to think that they are realizing that each mullah has a "Z-bomb" with his name on it sitting in storage.

You wouldn't happen to be backing teh cut and run ideas of Murtha, Kennedy, Kerry, and Pelosi, would you?
Or how abouit Hugh Fitzgerald's thinly veiled backing of same by saying 'concede victory', i.e. cut and run and claim victory before the job is finished?

[Billthedrill]

As repugnant as it may be to you, would you agree the end result of a pacified country with mostly full Sunni participation worth the heavy insult to your warriors and their families?

Well, insult to these is common currency, especially in Europe, so it really wouldn't be much of a change. Boasting on the part of terrorists pretty much comes with the territory as well. Nothing new here.

Let me ask you a question - how would you feel about sending a few special operations squads in to shoot these guys when they start to brag? A few bodies in the streets of Baghdad? Paris? It wouldn't, after all, be anything they haven't already done to our troops. Just a thought...

[muleskinner]

I wonder what the US and allied occupation forces did with all the captured Nazi soldiers that killed allies during WWII? I'm not talking about leadership here just the average guy that used a gun.

Sent them back to Deutschland in one piece, where they seemed to have behaved themselves.

If the U.S. and Iraqi gov't. could get the Sunni-Arab Anti Gov't forces to agree to a general surrender, the U.S. and allies claim victory in Iraq, and have just bitched-slapped all the anti-Bush/anti-war clods for the next 10 years.

The average anti-gov. Sunni, who was probably in the Iraqi army before the war, gets to go home and behave. At that point, most of the population would be willing to cooperate with the local Iraqi police if they know of any trouble. Even Iraqi's know when the game is up.
