Now how could you go deface such a beautiful building as St. Basil's Cathedral by putting Peter Jennings' picture alongside it? I think he'd be best in front of Lenin's tomb, or the bust of Stalin.

hehehe...I'm gonna lean to the side of Bush on this one. I think the media just got snookered again by this administration. Here's why...Before, the media and many groups were harping on "justified cause" for war with Iraq...Now, the media themselves are pulling the line that there are in fact factories in Iraq up to no good. The talking heads will plant a seed in the viewers heads unknowingly: "Iraq does have bio/chem factories"..Watch, in a couple weeks (maybe less), were gonna hear about all sorts of factories and outlets in Iraq. One media outlet is gonna keep trying to scoop the other over this..

Reading your posts on another thread.........'tis OK. You are to adopt a victim's stance now. So your sensitivity is acknowledged, applauded, and if you play your cards right......worth $$ in the bank!

[Thumper1960]

Gee! Petah Jennings is proving to be not so bad, after all.

A nice, willing, useful idiot.

Keep reporting the Iraqi WOMD, Petah!!!

:-D

I am hoping extremely successful psy ops.

~~~~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? ~~~~

I also wouldn't put it past CNN to report, as breaking news, that we ARE going to attack this place....and then do another BREAKING NEWS that 'cooler heads' have talked GW out of it.

Isn't it time to get back to our boycott of the alphabet soup networks? Isn't it time to write and call their sponsers and threaten to leave their merchandise on the shelves if they don't pull their support for Marxist reporting? Isn't it time that we protested outside of local stations demanding that they drop their coverage? Isn't it time we went after local business that advertise with these stations?

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?

Par for the course - I had the local news on, and when they went to WNT, PJ practically looked like he was jumping up and down in his seat.

Anyone check PJennings green card lately? What's the INS toll-free number?

/heh

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'.

When I first heard him, I thought I was hearing things.

I am not discouraged by this. Any Liberal drip could only be having a superficial surface high as a result of such tomfoolery.

If the President called it off then it was nothing...if it was something, then the President would've hit it. It could've easily been struck by an air strike followed on by SpecFor troops being inserted to mop up.

I dont know what Jennings would be grinning at.

On the contrary, it shows we have a pretty good idea of what is and isnt going on inside of Iraq and had CNN not broken the videos they have, I doubt this would've even come to light.

I am grinning at what Jennings doesnt know.

~grin~

The CIA and the Pentagon began planning a covert operation into Northern Iraq to destroy what appeared to be a budding chemical weapons laboratory several years ago, but late last week, the president called it off, sources told ABCNEWS.

So he called off the covert op. It's now going to be an overt op. ABC just doesn't tell you "the rest of the story". Hey Saddam, we are coming for you!

[VaBthang4]

...Amen.

Our family never stopped boycotting their sponsors.

Here's a related thread although it's not as juicy as this one- well, it is sort of if you scroll down to oldeconomybuyer's post #4.Anyway linking 'em all up:

Bush considering attack on suspected al Qaeda chemical and biological weapons test facility in Iraq

[VaBthang4]

...Amen again.

[norton]

To canaries?

Consider the source(s). Neither CNN nor ABC
knows what the * they are talking about. Someone probably put a virus in the teleprompter, and Lord knows they have little comprehension of reality, certainly not enough to determine that what they report is either truthful or coherent.

[mystery-ak]

LOL....you are exactly right....what everyone is overlooking in this story is that we have SF on the ground,(it seems for some time now) gathering intel and planning.....
