Which liberal "gloated" after the Mosul attack?
I keep seeing stories/articles suggesting this, but no one is named.

1. I cried
for the Americans and the Iraqis who lost their lives. I cry when I think of Iraqis with no security, ruined homes, and for what? I cry when I think of the soldiers stuck in Iraq, seemingly forever. I've yet to hear of ANY liberal who thinks that killing is something to gloat about.

2. More Thuglie propaganda
When the task of placing blame falls squarely on the shoulders of the BFEE, blame a Liberal. Then the great unwashed, as they leave their warm churches today, will be assured of propagating more derisive propaganda.

3. Has Falwell and his bitch Robertson
chimed in yet? Why did God lift the veil of protection this time? Is it because Democrats still have the ability to filibuster? Or is it because the ACLU still exists? Or is it gay people's fault again?

The only people I know who are happy about disasters is Repukes ("I hit the trifecta!").

6. Haven't heard that. Probably drowned out by the gloating over Falluja.
Our troops kill thousands of Iraqis and our "leaders" get busy cheerleading their heroic efforts in destroying a city and killing thousands and reducing the rest of the population to refugees.

7. I'm Sorry I was Right!
Dear conservative America. I am sorry that I was right about this misrepresented and misplanned mess of a war turned out to be exactly the way I predicted. I'm sorry that you lead our sons and daughters into harms way praising Jesus out of one side of your mouths while repeating lies you got from the white house and sold out media out of the other.
Then came the carnage at Mosul that destroyed 22 young peoples lives and proved that we are not winning this war but instead they are coming after us in our refuges. I'm sorry that the revered Iraqi army you are tring to use to give America false hope turned on us. I'm sorry that you perceive "I told you so" as gloating. I'm sorry I was right.

8. You hear this all the time on hate radio.
The blanket condemnation of liberals, without a specific reference.

Liberals oppose the war, therefore, they want America to lose and hence when the war is going badly, they rejoice.

The logical fallacy is strikingly obvious, to those who still think for themselves.

9. No gloating but soldiers did die
Edited on Sat Dec-25-04 03:04 PM by StClone
With or without gloating they sent our soldiers to die for oil and empire. They have blood on their hands and we didn't gloat. They lie, we cry.

10. Gloating Vs. Awareness?
It's bait and switch...Wingnuts can't either assume or accept the reality that this invasion is turning into a fiasco and the "libruls" are the scapegoat. When the military and political adventures fail, avoid the truth and blame the "libruls".

Sad thing is this horse is still getting lots of mileage out there and millions of sheeple won't wake up until the war comes knocking directly on their door...and even then they'll stick their heads in the sand lest they do the unthinkable and think for themselves.

The only saving grace I see in another one of these tragic episodes is that it may be on more step toward the day this country will have to realize what a tragic mistake this entire adventure has been, in both lives and treasure, and will start really putting the heat on those responsible for this pillage and profiteering.

11. It's called projection: if this were Clinton's war, you bet they'd be
gloating.

Boy, they're getting to me today. x(

13. Maybe they consider "I told you so" as gloating...
Come on.... We're doing the same damn thing we did in Vietnam. We're chasing insurgents from one town to the next because we don't have enough forces to secure the entire region and we don't have enough international support to sustain the occupation in Iraq. Chalk Mosul up to this administration's hasty and arrogant strategy. They underestimated the enemy in Iraq in the same way we underestimated the enemy in Vietnam. While we chase our tails going from town to town, the insurgents are becoming more organized and they're gradually becoming stronger through diplomacy with neighboring countries, which in return... supplies them with more armament.

The longer our troops occupy Iraq, the more insurgents their will be due to the Iraqi people's growing opposition to occupation by a foreign military. Eventually, the insurgency will become organized and powerful enough to launch major assaults on U.S. bases in Iraq while disrupting our supply lines.

Eventually, we'll be fighting a large insurgency on their home turf with major gaps in our supply lines and little to no help from the international community. Amazing how a war works... We kill more of them than we have dieing, but we're still losing the war. Hmmmm... Maybe their's more to war than how many enemies you kill.

16. "Gloating" is the new terminology for cussing a blue streak
See, when we learned of the attack on Mosul, we began to cuss a blue streak, with Little Boots as the object of our cussing attack. Repubs cannot fathom how we could cuss out someone so near and dear to their little black shriveled-up hearts. So they had to make something up in their moment of torment and decided to claim that we are "gloating."

Lots of words have dual uses; for example, there's chickenshit from chickens and there's a chickenshit in the White House.

The truth is, though, the paranoia of Repubs is causing them to hear voices :)
