I frequent another (non-political) message board. Sometimes discussion turns to politics, but not very often. The moderator, who presents himself as a totally impartial, fair-minded leader, has never posted anything political, until now. Here's his thread header from today:

-------
Democrats, CNN, Iraq, Veto, etc..

I know this thread is coming in some form or another, so I'm going to start it so I can control it.

Please be respectful of your fellow members opinions....or else.

The US Government is heading towards a clash with the White House over IRAQ. Basically, more than half of America wants to get out of Iraq so that Iraq can become a normal country again. (as if it were that easy...) and the Democrats are trying to follow the will of the people by forcing the White House to comply.

Meanwhile, some of the media is running into a little trouble. CNN has historically been known to be a liberal news organization. You would think their reporters would back the Democrats/American People's Will (APW) on this issue. Not so. Check out Michael Ware's report:

By the way, he just made an even more scary report on CNN a few minutes ago.

Bush has promised a VETO on this bill with all its withdraw deadlines (plus special interest pork).

Whether you believe in this war or not, a smart person will look at the current situation and evaluate the best course of action based on the current facts. Iraq is very unstable and the US presence is the only thing keeping it from collapsing. No one in America wants to see US deaths. However, bailing could cause catastrophic consequences that I don't see many people acknowledging.

Just wondering why he felt he needed to "control the conversation?" :shrug:
