HA!! IT WORKED DU! now CNN has to tell us how ANY evidence survives

[Jeffersons Ghost]

All the online banter really does have an impact folks, so keep up the good work!

[Norquist Nemesis]

1. Could you be a little more specific? n/t

[Jeffersons Ghost]

6. oh, sorry, I meant the ZARQAWI story

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. details?

[deaniac21]

3. Kudos to you! You are a true soldier in the battle to speak

TRUTH TO POWER!!!!!!

[marions ghost]

4. ????????????????????????????

:shrug:

[LynneSin]

5. If you are going to post stuff like this please do not assume

we are mind readers and have a clue what you're talking about

[Jeffersons Ghost]

7. jeez how many are going to fall in line to attack.. i said "sorry"

are you people going to sue me or something for an honest mistake?

[madokie]

8. severe beating with a wet noodle, just kidding :-)

peace
:hi:

[ThomCat]

9. You still haven't explained what this post is about.

Something about Zarqawi and evidence? :shrug:

Evidence of what?

[titoresque]

11. I'm not a mind reader either but I think

what the OP is saying is that CNN is attempting to explain some of the questions that have been brought up here on DU regarding the "death" of Zarqawi. Perhaps they are trying to answer the 500 ton bomb thingy against a pic that shows little damage if any to the body. etc.
Again....not a mind reader and have not seen anything on CNN.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

20. exactly, thanks

[iconoclastic cat]

10. And yet, you still have not explained it.

[LynneSin]

12. Read the replies above mine - dont' say you're sorry

edit your response to add what you think it is and make us look silly. That's what I do :D

[Jeffersons Ghost]

13. I'm not trying to make anyone "look silly" i was congratulating DU

for bringing up important points, like how did Zs face and fingerprints survived the blast of two BIG bombs. All the attacks seem strange considering how insignificant the OP is in the bigger scheme of things.

[LynneSin]

16. I know you weren't - but your message was what we were wondering

some of us are cube rats who can only read so much of DU during the day so we need details!

[Jeffersons Ghost]

18. I know in journalism I just committed the ULTIMATE sin, no kidding

it was indeed unfair to assume my readers knew what the hell i was talking about. like I said earlier, sorry, I was just happy to hear media respond and got excited.

[SmokingJacket]

14. I understood ya. nt

[Jeffersons Ghost]

15. I'm glad SOMEONE did... where are all the critics when I do great OPs...

that DO make plenty of sense and need a few kicks? thanks SmokingJacket

[siligut]

21. Not like it was encrypted.

I knew what you meant; it has been on the front page of just about everything: local newspaper, search engines, media pages AND DU general discussion. You do make plenty of direct, clear and fabulous posts; so, just who are these people that are so ready to admit they are so clueless, that they can't infer a bit? Not picking on cubers here, but you just need to get back to work, anyway.:*

[reichstag911]

23. Rather audacious of someone...

...so new to DU to be calling others clueless. For the record, I've got an IQ of 150+, and was aware of the Zarqawi news, but still found the OP cryptic.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

35. I'm still trying to figure out your OP. who said "clueless" reichstag911?

[reichstag911]

42. Uh, siligut,...

...immediately preceding my "Rather audacious..." post.

[muriel_volestrangler]

24. Well, I assume this means DUers were writing on the CNN website

that they wanted an explanation of how the body was/was not hit by rubble. But I've seen nothing on DU about getting people to pressure CNN on this, so I don't think it was clear that this was a DU campaign. Perhaps the campaign threads ought to be highlighted?

[alfredo]

32. Here we go.

The link is at the bottom.

[muriel_volestrangler]

40. I can't see anything there about survival of evidence

I was talking about a link to somewhere on DU where someone organised a write-in campaign to CNN, or similar. That seems to be the message of the OP.

[alfredo]

41. Oh OK.

From watching the official news conference I got the distinct impression that he was found dead at the location, but then ABC is now saying he was alive but died later in Iraqi custody.

yeah, we do need to raise doubt over the official story.

[ContraBass Black]

36. "are you people going to sue me"

What's your net worth? ;)

[Jeffersons Ghost]

37. I'm a NON-SERVICE RELATED disabled Nam vet on SSDI so you try and guess.

come and get it! or is the correct phrase "bring it on?"

[Swede]

17. Did they arrest Natalie Halloway's killer?

I never heard anything.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

19. I heard she was living with a black dude in the 9th Ward of New Orleans...

alive and well but we need to get her some sewage and electricity service down there.

[Virginia Dare]

22. Hey, JG....

since you're on the tube today, what was the sequence of events according to the sages of the MSM?

ABC says helicopters went in and "injured" him and then the U.S. Military turned him over to the Iraqi's, is that before or after the F-16's dropped the bombs?

I'm confoosed....:shrug:

[Jigarotta]

26. the part about turning Z over to the Iraqi's...

I find a bit odd - just doesn't wash with me. anyone else get an exclamation point over their heads when they read that?

[Virginia Dare]

27. Interesting conversation with a friend...

in the medical profession today. She said it looked to her like he'd been beaten. It even looked to her like he'd been hit in the face with the butt-end of a rifle.

She's not a conspiracy theorist by any means either, so it gave me pause.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

29. CNN only said the two F-16s went in and one watched as the other bombed

all the other info likely hasn't been mentioned on CNN but I was outside killing Japanese beatles on my flowers for a while. You know, it's kinda like killing terrorists: Kill one as 1,000 more are hatching.

[Virginia Dare]

30. According to another thread...

ABC is the only one reporting that he was already dead.

The plot thickens.

Good luck with the Japanese Beetles, we're a couple of weeks away from them up here.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

33. I had them really bad last week so I bought some 7-dust and AH HA!!

I wiped out a major part of the isurgency but they're back and not eating my ugly white (7 dust) leaves anymore. They're going after flowers. It's just like Iraq and terrorism. A never ending war with no easy solution in sight but at least I keep changing strategies instead of "staying the course."

[Junkdrawer]

25. Easy. You see, Z's building was supported by metal trusses...

that were weakened by the relatively cool temperatures of the burning jet fuel. After that, gravity did all the rest.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

39. snap!

:)

[allalone]

28. I knew what you meant

people just have jump on others don't they?

[malaise]

31. Could CNN fins more than

eight or so men with weapons jumping and celebrating this man's death?

[semillama]

34. On another Zarq thread, DUer dmesg explained it pretty good.

I don't remember which of the dozens now it was, but he explained how a 500-bl bomb can in fact leave relatively intact bodies, due to the fact the bombs are designed to kill by concussion, not by shrapnel.

In the last month or so, I've been paying attention wheneve dmesg posts; he or she almost always has something intelligent and reasonable to add to a discussion.

[deaniac21]

38. Reliable source...

[Sydnie]

43. CNN talking about General McCrystal (sp?)

How this operation was done by a "Special Plans Ops group".

Interesting.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

44. this post is revived from yesterday to discredit me because of this...

post getting to much attention. trolls hate to lose but they better get used to it! http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1386991&mesg_id=1386991

[Sydnie]

46. JG ... why would anyone attempt to discredit you

especially for a kick ass post from Kerry?

People need to get over their anger and disappointment with Kerry and see him for the highly focused leader that he is. He is like a dog on a bone when something is wrong, even if he can't get anyone else to support him in the beginning, as in BCCI/Iran Contra.

Kerry has his head in the right place. We need to support him now, more than ever.

Why are they using that to discredit you on this thread?

(PS I have been out of the loop for a few days - heavy work schedule - what have I missed here?)

:hug: to you all the same.

45. Rumbo will prolly say...
