Stop responding to Bush's media & the Official Story like Pavlov's Dog

[Philosoraptor]

I swear as soon as the Zarqawi is dead story hit, millions instantly believed the official story.

Excuse me, have Bush's media ever lied to us before?

Has Bush?

1. I am willing to bet he's not dead...

That photo is somebody else.

6. Or, if dead,

1) probably didn't happen as they said
2) he's not who they claim he is
3) his importance is greatly exaggerated, or
4) all the above

Here's an article about the psy-op campaign: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/09/AR2006040900890.html

You don't have to be a tin-foil hatter to doubt the official version.

2. I loved this Iraqi quote:

"The Americans have a habit of bombing places and then claiming Zarqawi or others were there."

We've heard this before...we'll see if it's true this time.

3. I believed it when it went up on

Al-Queda's website.

The picture looks like him, too.

4. I'm not saying it isn't true, it may be, but...

We must STOP instantly believing everything.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

7. Actually, I'm worse than that

I instantly DISBELIEVE everything I hear on TV. Kind of sad, really. But after a bit I bought this story.

8. That would be on 'alqueda.com', right?

[TallahasseeGrannie]

10. Well, you know, since

they are a charity it is probably .org.

Look at Rumsfeld's statement. The incompetent freak has been exonerated. Yay!

What has really changed? Not a goddamn thing.

9. hell, i didn't believe he existed in the first place

so i sure don't believe he is dead.
