1. I am ambivalent about the AP. Sometimes their news are really
plain a direct, sometimes they introduce this type of subtle bias. What is up with them?

3. I heard the story on ABC News radio
The only person they interviewed for the story was a counterprotester who claimed to be a marine who said that we are fighting the war protect the protesters' right to protest, and that if they protested in Iraq, they would be shot (I'm not sure if he meant that the thugs in the old regime would shoot them, or our own soldiers would now).

5. RE: AP gives freepers the last word on dc protest
``Whether or not the war should have started is a moot point,'' said Eric Campbell, a 32-year-old who served in the 1991 Persian Gulf War. ``We have to stay if anything for the Iraqi people.''

The determination to help a people that don't want us there is ignorant and arrogant. Especially when the true motivation is to turn Iraq into New Texas.

6. see, I have issues with this comment
because frankly, I agree with it (go ahead, call me a freeper, bring it on, you goddamn pinky commies) I was opposed to the war to being with. but now that we are in de jure and almost de facto control of Iraq, we have no choice but to make it better. We broke the place, we are reposnsible for fixing it. Now we certianly aren't doing a good job, and this administration is unable to get their heads far enough out of their asses, and their hands out of our pockets, long enough to do it. but we cannot abandon Iraq. We have a collective reposnsiblity to leave the place in better condition than we found it.

Would the Iraqi people REALLY be better off if we abandon the place to Ahmed Chalabi? You think so? you think they'd really be better off spiriling into civil war?
