"Mosul Massacre" ....will "Chimps" poll numbers go UP over this carnage?
Edited on Tue Dec-21-04 08:16 PM by KoKo01
Will he be seen as an "Avenger" not a "Dictator" over the slayings with the bomb in the Tent in Mosul?

Or, will he be seen as the "person who brought peace to Iraq inspite of all the odds...as the Great American Intervener" in Peace for Iraq that (hotbed of terrorist activity responsible for September 11th and the aftermath? :shrug:

1. Tipping point
Most Americans do not support the invasion.

Could be a big turning point in support for the war.

2. Someone on YMB said
that chimp had a press conference and said to the attackers "Is that all you got?"

The frightening thing is it seemed believable that Chimp would say that.

(I take it that it was made up)

3. When Americans are involved, it's a massacre.
It wasn't a massacre the other day in Najaf and Karbala when Iraqis were killed.

4. Bush's base is religious ideologues that genetically programmed to
Blame everything bad that happens in or to this country to liberals. That is there mantra. When in doubt blames the liberals is there method. Bush is a Teflon Don, no matter what happens its like water off a ducks back.

6. You make a good point. Now they'll say "See, they're terrorists!"
"We always knew they were terrorists! Now do you libruls understand what we're fighting for? Better there than here, blah blah blah..."

The worse it gets, the more they'll play that.

7. Sadly....it's true.....unless a "Truth Bomb" goes off under the "MSM" it
all will break in favor of the Chimp....

Troops Killed...Drop that "MOAB" on their heads in Mosul...just like Fallujah...kill...kill....kill... until we decimate the "Dissidents."

Just as that word "Dissidents" is used against us "Internets Folk" when we complain about Voter Disenfranchisement...the Mosul Folks will end up being bombed into vapor or flesh burned "Wax Museum" folks because they DARED to try to challenge the Chimp/Emeperor in Thief.

10. Agree...the "chimp" has tapped into American Vengeance...bloodthirsty
old fashioned greedy, vengeance which looks to AMERICA FIRST IN THE WORLD...

My family goes way back...I wonder why they came here...if they saw what we've become which is why they left where they were before. :shrug:

11. I don't know. This feels different. There's something different here
and I've all ready experienced it in my town. We have a LOT of kids going to Iraq, there, coming back, going again. I just met the husband of a girl I taught in fifth grade who is getting ready to go. This made it unspeakable. That's too many to ignore. And, if it happens again, expect the bubble to burst. I dread Christmas day.

I looked at Andrew Cox, this kid today and remembered him as a little boy coming into the Library with his brother and mom. I cannot conceive of him doing what they're doing over there. Leon Shangin, another kid, he wept when he told us he was going. This is different. Its a turning point and a buncha people silently changed today.

Its so awful today. Everywhere.

12. I'm with you, roguevalley. For some reason, it "feels different."
So close to Christmas, maybe? The fact that there might have been many more soldiers there? This situation so close on the heels of the Rumsfeld Q&A which revealed how poorly our soldiers are protected?

I don't know, but I have the feeling that Americans are beginning to add things up, and they don't like the results.

And strictly from an intuitive point of view, I get some really strange impressions about this one as far as it affecting Little Boots.

Don't look back, bush, something's gaining.

13. They just admitted the dead
The number of mortally wounded has got to be huge...more deaths to come but hidden from public view.

15. I hope what you guys hope about this...that it's the final straw...but
unfortunately, time and time again, we've seen the Bushies use DEATH/DESTRUCTION/MAYHEM to their advantage.

I wish so much that this would all stop. That the little kid in the library would live to read more books and write about his experiences to
enlighten us all...but the killing doesn't stop...and that Idiot and his PNAC enablers and annointers is still there after so many of us worked our butts off to get him out....

So, I posted...because I think he's so evil and America seems to be into "Evil Reigns" that I think his poll numbers will go up. Americans and my neighbors where I am don't want to think of the horrors "they" have committed in our name. And, the lie goes on...I think it will take more than Mosul.

But, then I went through 20 years of Viet Nam and saw John Kerry trashed over that war that now folks want to remember as American Glory and not American Defeat. It's all so strange to live through this again...it's as if Viet Nam meant nothing...just a "hippie/pacifist protest." Nothing to see there in History of America...just move along.

No matter how hard we tried...we couldn't stop this...no matter how many of us who remembered Vietnam tried to tell folks...they WOULD NOT listen...They were glad to throw victims to the Bushie Corporatists/PNAC'ers ambitions and let them die horrible deaths...while the Bushies prepare for the SECOND STOLEN INAUGURAL and Laura has 41 Christmas Trees in the White House for her enjoyment.

It's all sickening...and makes NO SENSE!!!!

18. Bsuh was so concerned about it
that he issued a statement saying that he's tired from too many Christmas parties this week. the man is completely amoral - he is completely without conscience.

14. And Chimp Allies are pulling out
Of Iraq... the Poles left and wont return.... the Hungarians left and wont return.... even NGO are leaving.... Canada wont send any election observer to Iraq.....

The changing world opinion. Bush and CO accuse the UN as corrupted and target Kofi.... World reaction... All the UN members show their support for Kofi by giving him a Standing Ovation. Bush and CO want to replace the UN Nuclear watch body chairman... They propose an Australian Minister to take over... result... The nominated Australian Minister refuse the nomination and support the present chairman. Every UN members support the present chairman.

UN corruption charges by US are under investigation. Guess where the finger point to... A paper will be presented to address this by the UN.

Will UK pull out. I dont think TB will survive the next election.
If UK pull out..... where are you going to get the troops to replace them.

16. Blair seems like Bush...Untouchable. The Kelly murder should have
exposed it all...but he commissioned the "Hutton Report" just as US Congress finally supported 9/11 Investigation.

In the end...all of it was "White Washed." The "Powers that BE" want Blair/Bush in there, even though the world and their own people in growing majority want them out.

How do we explain this...that they stay ...against ALL ODDS?

17. If he could get us nuked, he'd be emperor for life.
It's incredible. The bungling and flagrant idiocy of this mob just endears them even more to the people.
