6. Don't you get it?
This is good news, in Bushspeak.

Apparently attacks happen because the freedom hating terrorists who hate freedom and America are getting angry because the war is going so well. The better the war is going for us, the angrier the freedom-hating terrorists get. The angrier the freedom-hating terrorists get, the more attacks occur.

Therefore, saying that the frequency of attacks is up is good news, because it means the war is going well.

Edited on Tue Nov-04-03 06:38 PM by Cush
Sen Leach (R) says that the US is making things worse in some parts of Iraq, and that there is no policy.

CBS said that he worked for Rummy.

CBS blasts him for again blurring the lines about Saddam & 9/11. Apparently he mentioned Iraq & 9/11 in the same sentence again.


Ohh, and now he says no more money for CA (fires)

8. Peace and Prosperity in 2004
Damn it, that should be the motto of the Democratic candidate.

The US is in a bullshit war and the economy is in the tank.

If you want peace and prosperity, vote Democratic.

16. Everytime is hear one...
... of those "Operation whatever" tags I feel like I'm in the 50s. Somehow, I think the thought processes of those who come up with those ridiculous monikers are mired in the 50s :)

10. CBS has a venue for attacking Gillespie and the RNC
All CBS has to do is report the news, the facts, the way it is in Iraq. They can make Gillespie wish he had kept his big Republicannibal mouth shut about that mini-series on that dottering dolt Reagan.

Let's see if CBS can grow some guts ...

14. Has the RNC reviewed that information before it's publication?
That's how it works today, you know.

I don't know if I can ever watch a network of such sissies and cowards on CBS.
