The way you use the phrase "you've" I don't think you're qualified to gauge which propaganda we get on TV.TV is overwhelmingly either liberal or fickle. Radio is the main area conservatives tend to do well, followed by the internet.American TV news media is a wholehearted practitioner of "bad news bias," at best. In fact that's what this video was about, they DO NOT show what Iraq is really like AT ALL, and REFUSE to report any GOOD news about it.

If you're really a dual poli sci major you know you just lied through your teeth.If that kind of thing could be "proven" it sure hasn't been done, and it's been suggested realistically, about once. Then debunked.The war on terror has taken at least one and a half terrorist havens off the map. It has reduced the threat of terrorism in both cases; the taliban is obvious, the Mukhabarat, Zarqawi, and Nidal should clue you in about Iraq.Read. Countries. It's not about a terrorist head-count.

Were you even watching the same thing?At the very end she got served, Ingraham HAD been to Iraq and in 8 days probably spent more time out of the green zone than Logan did.The stuff about needing a helicopter is bullshit, generally we would love to give an empty HMMWV seat to a journalist.Haven't you seen/heard someone reporting from/on the streets of an Iraqi city? Think critically people, they didn't get there by helicopter, those primarily land inside FOBs and airbases.

Never mind the thumbs down Miami, you're exactly right.What people don't realize is the anti-war movements for every major war have been equally big, often bigger. Yes, even WW2- many many people accused their world leaders (who saw Hitler needed to be resisted with force) of despicable things. On an instinctual basis humans would rather pretend peace is an option.By marginalizing the pacifists who always whine about this stuff, history did our current political climate a major disservice.

It's not like there's no military targets inside Bagdad, and certainly indiscriminate bombing did take place. Not even government officials would deny that US forces has killed a conciderable amount of civilians, there's no getting around that in modern warfare; that's why war must be avoided, especially when there is no just reason to go to war in the first place (read: invasion of Iraq).

Well it's hard to argue against that, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Sure there's anti-American propaganda on the internet that does a great job of balancing out the propagamda you'll get when you turn on the TV. And I'm not going to question America's technological superiority, after all you've controlled most of the world's resources the last century, gotta get something out of that.

"Sure, not on american soil, but America's allies in the middle-east are getting it, as did Spain and England. Not to mention the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan".This is nothing new its been going on long b4 9/11. 9/11 was the straw that broke the camels back.

"Btw, if you weren't killing civilians in Iraq, your B-52s must have forgotten to drop their bombs over Bagdad".O thats funny because we all know that we missed 100% of our targets and killed civilians on purpose? And we did this for no reason at all just because were evil muhahaha. We have nothing to gain by doing thatCome on man get real |
