While I won't click on a Freeper link, I'm curious about your contention that some of what they mention is from the New York Times. Would you be refering to Judith Miller's articles in the NYT? Most of what she wrote (during the lead-up to the war)has been debunked as baloney. Even she has admitted that her articles about what Hussein supposedly had turned out to be completely wrong.Trisculahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03974766710764610756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640358.post-1133928417633871332005-12-06T23:06:00.000-05:002005-12-06T23:06:00.000-05:00Curmudgeon: Where did you find this shocking news ...Curmudgeon: Where did you find this shocking news the gore-loving press, which thrives on sensation, overlooked? You should send this to Fox News, ASAP! Or, is it bias to the left, too?<BR/><BR/>Do you really think if what you wrote was even half-true that Dick Cheney would not be saying it every day? Or, is he in on the conspiracy to keep it quiet, too? Hey, I appreciate comments, including jokes, but four tons?<BR/><BR/>Come on. When you're making stuff up for the sake of satire, or whatever you think you're doing, it helps to have some sense of what's possible and what isn't. Maybe you meant to say "cupcakes." Yea-ah, four tons of devil's food cupcakes. Everybody knows old ranting Saddam has a sweet tooth.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, plenty of credible folks over in Iraq now say the torture and mayhem is worse since the USA invaded than before. It's a bubbling, bloody mess and making up statistics out of thin air, in order to support a failing war effort, hardly solves the problem. You undermine your own position when you toss such malarkey around.F.T. Reahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02042465274190082050noreply@blogger.com
