It's happened again - allied troops being caught with bombs. This time it is the Americans captured in the act of setting off a car bomb in Baghdad. Last time, as FMNN reported only weeks ago, two British soldiers, apparently working for British intelligence, were caught near Baghdad similarly equipped.
According to the Mirror-World, "A number of Iraqis apprehended two Americans disguised in Arab dress as they tried to blow up a booby-trapped car in the middle of a residential area in western Baghdad on Tuesday. … Residents of western Baghdad's al-Ghazaliyah district [said] the people had apprehended the Americans as they left their Caprice car near a residential neighborhood in al-Ghazaliyah on Tuesday afternoon. Local people found they looked suspicious so they detained the men before they could get away. That was when they discovered that they were Americans and called the … police." Just as in the British incident, the Iraq police arrived at approximately the same time as allied military forces - and the two men were removed from Iraq custody and wisked away before any questioning could take place.
The incidents are said to be fueling both puzzlement and animosity among Iraqis. Yet the motivation behind such activities remains formally unknown since in both cases the soldiers involved have been removed with an efficiency that has quashed any attempts at an interrogation.

something's going on here... i posted before where americans were caught doing this. I thought we were trying to stop the violence. what good would setting off bombs do? Are we trying to instill a civil war? are we trying to stay in iraq indefinatly? what the hell, really?

You didn't answer my questions, just swung out some attack on the messenger, so I repeat:
quote:Originally posted by bdgee: As Big Brother points out, given a mysterious "enemy" defineed and recognized only by Big Brother it is easier to enslave the people.
Now, go ahead, tell me which people?
Oh, yeah, while we are at it, just who is the enemy?
I didn't attack the messenger, I attacked the message. I would like to see some proof that this is REAL. Just because something is written down doesn't make it factual. Now had this been reported by the Associated Press, NBC, CNN or some other somewhat reputable news source I would take it seriously. Until then it's just another piece of fiction.
As for your question, I have no clue what you are refering to.

But it now seems to be that you wouldn't question it if it were Associated Press, NBC, CNN, all of whome whole heartedly clammed up rather than question the White House about the claimed needs to invade Iraq.
The Associated Press, NBC, CNN DO NOT CONSTITUTE PROOF!
And this is sad: "As for your question, I have no clue what you are refering to."

I don't consider any media source as "proof" but some sources are more reliable than others.
Why is not understanding your question sad? It was poorly written and very unclear in intent, it has no defined points or reference. Ask it directly and I'll try to answer.

I doubt they care either. They don't normally act on unsubstantiated rumors.
I'm curious what bearing you feel your link has to the discussion of either US carbombing or media reliability.
It refers to a missile strike in 2003 when the major fighting was occuring. Seems to be an instance of either poor intelligence, collateral damage or a reporter not seeing what the pilot firing the missles saw.

You seem to believe any article written that supports your negative feelings toward both religion and the Bush administration no matter what the source. Yet strangly, anything positive about either never seems to make an appearance.

You are very good at prividing us will valuable articles on subjects touched on here, but this one is just another far right extremist without the mental capacity to understand anything not directly from Republican Party line. Moreover, at best, he's a liar and a creep with no honor and less patriotism. I am fed up with this and the totality of the Party Line that attemts to avoid the subject by ignoring the Constitution.
FAILURE TO QUOTE, WORD BY MEMORIZED WORD, THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE IS NOT DISHONEST, UNPATRIOTIC OR, AGAINST THE LAW.
Indeed, if these mental midgets (maybe they are mentally capable, but are just fundamentally liars) actually believed in the Constitution (patriotism, ya know), then you would revel in those people that don't walk in lock step with the White House and be proud of them and our Country for having a citizenry that dares and cares enough to correct the wrongs committed by the Government. Instead, this idiot declares them to be dishonest.
You failed on this one, timberman. Just a temporay slip, I am certain. I'll be watching for your next contribution.

I believe the correct means of determining whether you are supporting the troops or not is by asking the troops what they consider support.
It is interesting how you call this individual a creep with no honor and less patriotism when his final paragraph says:
"Many on the Left angrily accuse the Right of disparaging their patriotism. That charge, too, is false. I have never heard a mainstream conservative impugn the patriotism of liberals. But as regards their attitude toward our troops, the patriotism of those on the Left is not the issue. The issue is their honesty."
It seems to be YOU that questions his patriotism. You do so not by giving evidence but by namecalling (mental midgets, fundamental liars, idiot), the weakest of all arguments and the first indication that you have already lost.

I don't much care what you believe is correct, as you have demonstrated over and over you only believe what the Party tells you to. I question whether or not that is thinking.
