7:57 C-Span - Very interesting guest on Afghanistan and terrorism in Iraq.

Terrorism and Iraq
Bergen, Peter L., Author (from Foreign Affairs)

Says that the Iraqi that has "surfaced" now meeting with AlQaida is MISTAKEN IDENTITY. (a caller mentioned this as proof of Iraqis "cooperation with AlQaida)

BushCo doesn't even lie well... but the KoolAid kids grab ahold of the lies in hopes of not having been suckered by criminals.

1. The "sovereignity" transfer ceremony in Iraq will be a very quiet

affair...Negroponte won't be there??? Just making sure they survive for one day at least.

2. On a side issue, why is it that so many C-Span callers don't know

SPOKEN ENGLISH grammar? For example, would you have went... instead of would you have gone?

7. Their spoken grammar drives me crazy

you beat me to it.

I find myself mimicking them and thought about posting something for anyone here calling in....we've got to look better

Turn down your TV when you know you are the next caller

Try to use proper tense - don't use terms like "I seen"

Make notes before you call - don't stutter and stammer indicating that you have no idea why you called

Enunciate

4. A person said that Saddam's support of the families of suicide bombers

in Palestine was enough reason to go to war. Bergen said it was horrible that he did that, but this was directed at Israel and not the USA and it was not a reason to bomb Iraq.
Another one said that we took the wrong side in Kosovo... and the muslims in Kosovo were allied with AlQaida.

They attacked us so we have to attack them...Bergen says Iraq did not attack us... we cannot attack with disproportionate response especially attacking a country that did not attack us.

5. Bush's statement that Iraq is "fly paper" for terrorists. This is

post war declaration, rationalization after the fact.

My own comment: We want to use Iraqis as bait for terrorists? We are sick f*ckers!

6. Caller wants Mr. John Loftus to expound his views on C-Span.

The RWingers, seems to me, are feeling cornered. Dangerous for he world when they are cornered....

As a matter of opinion, I would like to have opposing view presenters as frequently as possible on C-Span. It would give you a more complete view, instead of relying just on viewer questions attacking a particular point of view.
