CNN Has Now Become the Mouthpiece for the Terrorists Propaganda Campaign

First!

 

These same videos are on Youtube. Is Youtube and Google aiding the terrorists also?

EDIT: Actually this video on CNN shows very little. The whole video is on youtube.

 

I don't understand how this supports backing off the war? I'm anti-War on Terror, and if anything, the video made me "want to go kill them mother-f'ers!!"

But it barely did that, though. In reality, it was just a piece of news to me that showed me the conditions over there. It was informative and interesting, and I could have easily chosen not to watch if I didn't want to.

 

do those videos protray the truth or the relaity of what's happening in iraq?

so truth/reality is on the terrorists side?

 

Thanks to recent uncovered letters we know that Al Qaeda wants and hopes for America to continue its occupation of Iraq. If this would increase the likelihood of ending our occupation, then it would be a direct blow against Al Qaeda's wishes.

 

Just want to say how happy I am to have Jorge back in time for the mid-terms. I am seriously surprised to see he has the nuts to come back and make the same old liberals-hate-America arguments even after pretty much the entire country has rejected them and decided rather to lay the blame for this country's enormous problems at the feet of the party that has controlled the presidency and both houses of Congress for the last several years.

Way to stick to your guns, Jorge. BTW, what are your futures sites saying these days about the coming elections? It looks to me like the GOP will be very lucky to retain a slim-as-possible majority in the Senate after handily losing the House. But maybe you'd like to join Karl Rove in predicting January will see a Republican Speaker of the House and Republican Majority Leader. Or maybe you'd just like to blame CNN for an Iraq war that James Baker now describes as "a helluva mess" and that Bush now says might be comparable to Vietnam.

 

Keep fighting the good fight TJ. Maybe your twin bro can come back and help you

 

AS usual, t_j resorts to name calling and finger pointing (libQaeda, ROFLMAO) to try to distract from the massive failure of the party in power. Thankfully, the American public seems to be seeing the truth over the McCarthy-like tactics of people like t_j.

What a maroon.

 

this ties in nicely w/ the President's comments re thomas Friedman's article comparing the current upsurge in violence to the Tet Offensive. Wikipedia makes the point:

[rquoter]The Tết Offensive can be considered a crushing military defeat for the Communist forces, as neither the Viet Cong nor the North Vietnamese army achieved any of their tactical goals. Furthermore, the operational cost of the offensive was dangerously high, with the Viet Cong essentially crippled by the huge losses inflicted by South Vietnamese and other Allied forces. Nevertheless, the Offensive is widely considered a turning point of the war in Vietnam, with the NLF and PAVN winning an enormous psychological and propaganda victory. Although US public opinion polls continued to show a majority supporting involvement in the war, this support continued to deteriorate and the nation became increasingly polarized over the war.[1] President Lyndon Johnson saw his popularity fall sharply after the Offensive, and he withdrew as a candidate for re-election in March of 1968. The Tết Offensive is frequently seen as an example of the value of propaganda, media influence and popular opinion in the pursuit of military objectives.

in that context, i think it's fair to ask whose side cnn is on, eason?

 

A US Marine helped provide information for that CNN piece. I find it amazing and disgusting that T_J would accuse a US Marine of being a traitor and supporting Al Queda, and that you would question an honorable American soldier's patriotism.

As for CNN, they are on the side of getting information out there, as much as you might like to stay blind. You've been wrong over and over on your assessements on the war's progress over the last 3 years, while the news networks have been right. Perhaps you should actually start listening to them instead of trying to believe they are evil.

 

welcome back bigtexx!!!

i like how you call him john forbes kerry, cause he's rich n' stuff.

what do you call bush? - he is far richer than kerry - the bush family has more money than kerry could ever dream of marrying into.

 

....and thus marks the end of basso and the righties suspension of disbelief regarding the debacle in Iraq.

....and thus begins the attempts to shift the blame from the white house and its backers who conceived and executed it (or more accurately, misconceived and poorly executed it), and with whom responsibilty and accountabilty would naturally be charged in any logical calculus, to.....the media. Hey, it was either them or the gays.

 

Good to have TJ back!

HOWEVER!,

I don't ever remotely see how this is Pro-terrorist. I guess the questions is this.

Do you want a press that shows the WHOLE story? (Not that CNN is even remotely neutral; they show everything in a very pro-American light)

Or do you want an extremely pro-American press that does nothing but show how wonderful things are going in Iraq, LIE to us. Basically just propaganda. (FOXNEWS)

I personally want an unbiased approach, just the facts please. I want to know what is really going on.

And this "you’re just doing what the terrorists want" is the most ridicules argument. One, how the hell do you know what the "terrorists" want, especially with all the different groups in Iraq that are fighting each other as well as fighting us? Second that argument is just a way to enforce censorship by trying to bully the press with claims of being "unpatriotic". Last time I checked, having a free press is very PATRIOTIC.

 

Welcome to the year 2002.

Most Americans have learned that such "with us or against" us tactics are no longer useful. Feel free to join the rest of us whenever you are ready.

 

Now that Trader Texx has awakened from his hibernation....

....the smell of ripe bullsh*t is in the air again in the D&D.

 

YEA!!! REPUBLICAN POWER!@!!

 

Ooooo, that smell.

 

So TJ, how many people have you been able to get to change their minds about George Bush, the War on Terror, and the GOP using the tactics you routinely use on the BBS?

 

Despite the long layoff, TJ seems to be in midseason form judging by all of the expected responses posted.

TJ please share your secret with Yao Ming and TMac because their shots are off.
