3. Yes I expect the Dems to stay on this from now on and the M$M
better fucking listen. This might help VA get some more money. Anything helps.

10. The meedjia
goes with the wind, and now the Dems are the wind. I can't imagine how many stories they have in the can but couldn't show under the GOP choke hold. This will be interesting.

I agree with you, any light shed on how the Bushies really treat the soldiers will be beneficial and will hopefull initiate change to the VA system. That, in my opinion, is one of the cabal's most anti-American acts.

4. Yes America needs to see the realities of war.
I'd like him to be a little less on immigration and a little more
on corruption and Iraq.

5. Yeah I disagree with Dobbs over immigration, but agree with
a lot of what else he believes in. People must see what Iraq is. The pain.

8. I hope this is true.
The flood of information might overwhelm some people. Depends on how far the M$M will go.

9. Oh I can see the jingoism, CNN is getting paid.
Just showing or talking to Iraqi military injured is new, but yeah it is a story. There is still a lot of propaganda, but the topic itself is new and I hope it becomes larger in the context of 'what the fuck are we doing there'?

How many people have to die?

11. You know what I found really hilarious last Wednesday?
The Freepers and BushBots were freaking out because, get this:

they were "worried" about our troops.

Yeah, that's right.

They actually were afraid that the Dems, in a vindictive, anti-miltary spirit, would "strand the troops in Iraq with no plan or strategy", "let hundreds die for no reason or no clear goal", and "not gives the troops the levels of funding they deserve".


Uh, hello? that's already been happening. The Republicans have been doing that since 2002.

14. It is amazing how long it takes for reality to get to their brains.
I thought they would implode after everyone started running around yelling, 'Nancy Pelosi!'. Then running around pissing all over themselves in the grocery store. They should never try to run the government. Too slow.

12. CNN Presents did a whole hour on this.
Following doctors in a combat hospital; 60 minutes did a similar story as well.

13. I've avoided watching the Iraq shows, cause it is so painful
Edited on Sun Nov-12-06 07:56 PM by MyPetRock
to see how much suffering is there :cry:. It's the same reason that, even though I contribute to animal rights groups, I don't want to read much about or watch shows dealing with animal abuses. I KNOW what's going on, but psychologically cannot cope with the graphic reality staring me in the face.

But I will start watching the CNN series based on your recommendation.
