LostInSpace Posted October 9, 2005 Report Posted October 9, 2005 I'm surprised no one brought this us yet: WASHINGTON (CNN) -- An intercepted letter from Osama bin Laden's deputy to the al Qaeda leader in Iraq complains that the terrorist network is short of cash and faces defeat in Afghanistan, a Pentagon spokesman says. This is exactly what he spelled out would happen. Keep pushing and keep pushing hard until to you break it.
John Prezioso Posted October 9, 2005 Report Posted October 9, 2005 Oh no! GOOD news? We can't have that! Quick, find a way to spin it so everything still looks like it sucks! Bush is a moron! Bush is a liar! He has no strategy! Blah, blah blah, yadda yadda yadda. Actually I have no doubt the haters will be along soon to put their negative, morbid, and defeatist slant to it.
LostInSpace Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Posted October 10, 2005 I know. It's getting rather confusing though as of late. I found this on CNN's web page today also: Official: Many Sunnis favor constitution Now I just saw a news item on NBC about this and they were saying the complete opposite.
John Prezioso Posted October 10, 2005 Report Posted October 10, 2005 Don't you know those Sunnis are really Republican lapdogs in disguise?
Darkling Posted October 10, 2005 Report Posted October 10, 2005 Hmm. Funny, where's Nomad's comments about how this is all just a Replican Conspiracy to MAKE people believe that we are actually winning this thing.
muirjm Posted October 11, 2005 Report Posted October 11, 2005 There was just something on the news that they killed the #2 al-Qaeda guy. How many #2's do they have? Arabic names sorta run together in my head til they all sound the same (no offense to any Arabs reading this, of course.) It's hard to tell how significant this really is. The only thing I know is that you will continue to have terrorists until you shut down all the madrasas (spelling?), which is impossible.
John Prezioso Posted October 11, 2005 Report Posted October 11, 2005 quote:which is impossible. Difficult maybe...impossible no
muirjm Posted October 11, 2005 Report Posted October 11, 2005 you're right, it would be impossible for us to do it, but if the Arab nations step up to the plate it could be done. I should have been clearer.
Aperson Posted October 11, 2005 Report Posted October 11, 2005 Blah, terrorism will probably exsit until every last human being on this planet is dead, which is certainly not impossible. But maybe I'm just overly pessimistic.
scorchedearth Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 Well, God bless democracy. I'll be happy if Iraq can pull itself together (with interational/US support), and am glad they won the lottery to receive spontaneous democracy. God works in mysterious ways they say. By having terrorist fly planes into tall buildings, a third uninvolved country receives democracy!! Woo-hoo! I hope all the other non-democratic countries don't receive their spontaneous democracy with such horrid implimentation.
John Prezioso Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 Can't stand good news, huh? Oh, at least when it occurs during a Republican administration, that is. How trite.
