CNN giving positive spin on Iraq "insurgents"
Why the f*ck do they call these people insurgents, if we are at war, aren't these the ENEMY? And aren't the captured soldiers PRISONERS OF WAR and not hostages???? spin spin spin spin.

5. Resistance fighters.
The Busheviks shall get that NO MATTER WHAT their next target is, especially if their next target is to squeeze the rest of the Liberty from the American People, crossing the line.

Sad. Scary. Enraging.
:-( :scared: :grr:

2. The Enemy?
I don't know how one concludes that.
We invade their country, under false pretenses - they don't like it and respond accordingly....so they are now the Enemy? I'm sorry - the U.S. is looking more like Israel every day.

3. That has been the idea all along. Look at who's who in PNAC

Have us in the same boat as Israel. So we will be sympathetic when they do things like Sharon just did, with the cleric.

4. The local news people here in SE Alabama are worse
They still insist that all of the "insurgents", even the Shiites who despised him, are really "Saddam Loyalists". They're way behind, even on the spin.
