Remember that film of the Iraqis gassing a Yellow Lab pup? Well

I just saw it on Anderson Suckhead Cooper regarding the subway hokum.

This is fucking outrageous.

That stupidshit was showing a file film that was originally used to scare us shitless about a totally unrelated incident (Iraqi weapons of mass destruction).

1. What's outrageous to me about the 360 report is

that they're still trying to instill fear, or rubberize a story with no legs. Suskind wrote a book, told a tale, and they (CNN) are taking it as gospel. How about some other sources? :eyes: But no, let's run with the cyanide story, because fear sells.
Jon Stewart's coming up. Get over this, and laugh a bit!

2. Unfortunately, I have to wait another 3 hours for Stewart.

Man, I was pissed when Poofter and Gupta were going on about that crap.

And, hey 'sister, long time...

3. Hi, Tom, and Ms. TiT!

I was in FL for awhile, helping out family. I'm happy to be home! Nice to see you also!

5. As I recall that footage was not from Iraq, but from Afghanistan.

Yes, it was used to shill Iraq as a WMD threat, but at that time it wasn't reported as originating in Iraq. I don't watch CNN to get my news or opinions, so I don't know what or how it was presented, but it sounds like they've jumped the shark. Did they really present that archive footage as being from Iraq rather than The Base (I can't keep up with the spellings) training videos?

6. I have watched Cooper

very few times. During Katrina was one of them. Anderson Cooper does as he is told just like the rest of the media. KO is the only one I watch on a near daily basis.

7. I believe you are right. But the fact they are still using it reminds

me of the Kuwait incubator lies.

I don't believe a word of it.

And they have jumped the shark in my opinion.

I wasn't really watching it but the dog caught my eye.
