Perhaps there was another big "story" about to break ??
..and this was timed to shut it down? Maybe the other story is being held up at this moment? I so do not trust these people. They are so conniving and deceitful. Is it possible?

4. Actually, if I were going to dump something, I'd have dumped it
about five hours ago.

3. Y'know I've heard a lot of stuff like this...
And that Zarqawi might not be dead, etc., etc.

My take? To quote Freud, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

I think it is healthy to be a skeptic at this point. Here's what I said in anopther thread...I posted it in defense of people who might be "in denial"...

Denial? I see it as critical thinking and analysis...

You said it yourself.

the Bush Administration does not have a shred of credibility on anything.

They told us there were WMD. They told us there was NO TORTURE happening at Abu. They told us that our MISSION WAS ACCOMPLISHED three years ago. They told us they support our military. They told us that the people in Haditha were killed by IED's. Someone mentioned Pat Tillman in a previous post. The list goes on and on. When you say Accept it. He's dead you are asking people to take this incredibly corrupt and immoral administrations word over critical thinking and reasoning. Pat Tillman's family didn't just "accept it". It is because of their ability to reason and critically think that we ALL know the truth about what happened to Pat. They honored their son by seeking TRUTH. They didn't buy into the "move along...nothing to see here" BS. I applaud them for that. I wonder how many people considered them to be in "denial"?

I refuse to take ANYTHING these treasonous, rat bastards say at face value. They've certainly managed to take all other news off the table, haven't they? How many times are they going to show the pile of rubble on TV? Why are there children climbing all over a site that should be secured by the US Military? Two 500 pound bombs should produce blood and carnage, yes? It looks like a pile of rubble. At least that is what I am seeing. How can anyone miss it? They are running it over and over and over and over and over and over again. Hell, the world could be exploding one continent at a time. How would WE know? The only news story that is being shoved down our throats is this one. It all comes in a very neat package. The only thing that is missing is the bow.

Just my 2 cents...



You are not alone, Kentuck.

8. Of course something else was about to break
Just like the timing of the Iraq Invasion (which was selected to lessen the impact of Rachel Corrie's murder by the Israeli Army), the only time Bush ever achieves any goal is when something worse for him is about to break.

11. Or, conversely, they needed to distract attention from Hadditha
Massacre and new revelations of more massacres. Heard on Democracy Now this a.m. that Islamic Scholars Association (a Sunni clerics group) was alleging a new massacre of 13 Iraqi civilians.
