Uh, I mean...it's terrible to see insurgents who are killing Americans get killed themselves.

Can't show real blood and gore to the 'Murican people - it would upset them, the way the footage of Vietnam did back in the '60's, and then the Democrats will make us lose another war. (Sarcasm)

Show this crap but not draped coffins of dead service men. I believe some get hard ons! Too bad there's not a draft for them. Then they would have priapism until they get blown to smitherings.

War sure is fun when you get others to your fighting as you sit on your chickenhawk ass.

Why do we have so many idiots on the cable news channels? Is it really that hard to find intelligent people and real reporters these days? What's the difference between this and America's Wildest Police Chases? There's a story here just because there's a video? And boy, what a video it is, huh? Wow. You just don't see videos of guys walking around like that. What a scoop!

That's what you're getting on CNN. On MSNBC all I'm seeing is that footage of those girls beating up on of their own. Sick producers we have in this news world. Like Jesse Ventura said... Who chose to air Anna Nicole footage for over a month last year? Who's interests are served by feeding us this bullcrap. General Electric. Who profits by withholding the real news. When was the last time you heard a name of one of our soldiers killed. When was the last casket you saw coming home from Iraq.

www.StopBigMedia.com

what a joke. Thats not a news report, thats repeating Pentagon propaganda. How about showing pictures of Iraqi civilians killed on daily basis in US airstrikes?

I ONLY COUNTED FIVE PEOPLE
NOT SIX INSURGENTS...

I agree that they are (at least trying to) kill Americans. And I agree that's bad.
But is not another way to accurately put it is "local residents trying to kill occupying soldiers" ?

Wolf Blitzer has taken to often remarking about how he,his 'Situation Room' and CNN are being watched all over the world. Seems quite impressed with himself with this being so.

Barbara Starr does seem to be a reliable conduit for Pentagon propaganda as she often seems fully tethered to 'five sided' viewpoints,takes and spin.

CNN sadly is viewed around the world. For all those who get sucked in by CNN fluff and vacuous content,pov's and simple mindedness that is a genuine travesty in/of outcome for how America and Americans are portrayed and seen around the planet.

CNN--the home of tedious screen graphic glitz,over rated 'Blitz' and far too much 'fluff' news format, pathetic propaganda throw and craven 'junk news' set up and portrayal.

The Best Political Team On Television? Sure Wolf. You bet.

F*** CNN, the Pentagon (and I'd add B. Starr, but she's tooooo ugly) as to their
propoganda. And while at it, let's just add ALL of the MSM for they too deserve a
good screwing.

I forgot to write that she kept saying six, but I counted five also...And she did it several times during the three hour CNN show...

Fuck the Pentagon. If the US military was so fucking tough they would've put this war in the bag four years ago. I remember at the beginning of this losing effort the Pentagon was crying foul over the internet's showing of Iraqi snipers knocking down our kids.

Paper tigers. If it wasn't for our nukes created by exiled German's we wouldn't be shit.

Here's some Pentagon propaganda from yesteryear.

'World's Only Remaining Superpower'.

What bullshit!

BTW... Little Sister's Of The Poor is looking for warm-up games on next year's schedule.

Every single news network has a "Pentagon Correspondent".. they do NOTHING but parrot whatever their little sources tell them. There is no reporting going on. It's a listening post where they can copy down whatever the Pentagon wants to release to the public.

Barbara, if that's how you start your weekends you'll love this Frontline doc.

News we are missing:

Cheney and other Bush officials "choreographed" torture:
http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=4583256

The high-level discussions about these "enhanced interrogation techniques" were so detailed, these sources said, some of the interrogation sessions were almost choreographed -- down to the number of times CIA agents could use a specific tactic.

and Hal Turner is not in jail after threatening a school superintendent.
http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/state/x2084320886

The radio host says “I advocate parents using FORCE AND VIOLENCE against Superintendent Paul B. Ash as a method of defending the health and safety of school children presently being endangered through his politically-correct indoctrination into deadly, disease-ridden sodomite lifestyles.” The site lists Ash’s last known addresses, a phone number, and a birth date.

"These strikes are very precise, these people know what they're doing"

Of course you dumb cow, half the Iraqi's working in the Green Zone are giving them the information and maps on what to hit. When you're an occupying army, is it any wonder that half of the local "collaborators" hare really working against you?

"The discovery of two Iraqi truck trailers equipped with fermenters is the strongest evidence yet that Saddam Hussein had a biological weapons program, a U.S. intelligence report said Wednesday."

"Examination of the trailers reveals ... an ingeniously simple, self-contained bioprocessing system," the report says. "Both trailers we have found probably are designed to produce BW agent in unconcentrated liquid slurry."

Whoops, C&L's post is below this one, with Senator Lindsay Graham.

she was soooo infatuated with rummy when he was sec of defense; the flirtatious behavior during interviews was embarrassing.

i was watching her report on cnn when cbs revealed the abu ghraib story. she proclaimed that she had reported on that story months prior -- the extent of her 'report' was -- 'several guards have been accused of prisoner abuse in baghdad'. that was it. and it quickly disappeared down the cnn memoryhole, until cbs had the temerity to actually investigate and break it wide open.

she's a whore and propagandist of the highest order. i have no doubt she's on the payroll of sinister forces.

I could see five or six human figures walking around on a street. I must have missed that big bullseye on their backs that said 'hey we are from Iran and we are here to kill Americans'.

That is pure propaganda if I ever seen it. I am sure the Pentagon has all kinds of footage of people getting popped by hellfire missiles. They can say it was anything they want it to be, and not give a rats ass if anyone believes it or not. That's their story and they will stick to it. If the President can run the country on lie after lie after lie after lie, then you can bet your bottom dollar that the Pentagon will run the military the same way. Actually I'm surprised there hasn't been a 'Gulf of Tonkin' like event yet to give the WarPigs an excuse to begin carpet bombing Iran.

Barbara Starr is AS A MATTER OF FACT a GOVERNMENT MOUTHPIECE. She works for the DOD - not for CNN.

When you see Barbara Starr on CNN, note that she is NOT telling you the truth.

CNN is worse than fox.

people take CNN seriously and they are so pro-war it hurts.

Looked to me like a few guys lighting up a BBQ. Fuck, I bet they were suprised! Well at least the rack of lamb was well done. USA! USA! USA! USA!
I think they call it "winning hearts and minds" or is it "incinerating hearts and minds". I bet their brothers, uncles and kids just love us right now. In fact I would not be surprised if the love will be raining down on the green zone any day now.

I love the whole meme that they keep finding Iranian weapons because they are labelled as such and this somehow proves that evil Iran is behind all the attacks.

I understand that a lot of 9mm Glocks are used in gang warfare in East LA. I guess the media should be reporting that evil Austria is funding these vicious attacks in Los Angeles because their weapons are showing up.

Starr and Kyra Phillips will repeat verbatim anything the administration gives them. I have a question. With all this hi-tech shit, 160,000 combat troops and the best general in the world why can't they beat a few dead end guerillas sorry I mean insurgents.

Did anyone see any of those men carrying rocket propelled grenade launchers? Realize they're not that big, but I couldn't tell if those men were carrying anything. Not saying these particular Iraqis weren't a deserving target--I have no idea....

So now we're bombing Sadr City and continuing attempts to tie Iraqi nationalist Muqtada al-Sadr to Iran. Even though Iran backs Maliki and worked to bring a peaceful solution to Basra. What is Bush doing?

I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere about Barbara Starr and her fondness for "unmanned drones" (ahem!). I'll get back to ya later about that!

"According to the navy, Weinmann was apprehended on March 26 “after it was learned that he had been listed as a deserter by his command.” Though initial information released by the navy makes no mention of it, Al-Watan reported that he was returning from an undisclosed “foreign country.” American sources close to the Defense Department told Al-Watan that Israel was the country in question."

BUT BARBARA STARR'S PENTAGON SOURCES CONFIRMED THAT THE FOREIGN COUNTRY IN QUESTION WAS ACTUALLY RUSSIA.

TOTAL FABRICATION.

That woman is one of the dumbest bitches on TV, and there are many.

Most of the men on TV are also dumb bitches.

cnn should lose their media credentials. fox should never had been given media credentials. why are they allowed to ask questions at government press conferences?

I saw a video (on CNN, I think) a long time ago that showed an ammo depot in Iraq being blown up. There were some really huge explosions. One little mention by CNN and then no follow-up coverage ever. The story just quietly went away.

There is so much that the American public will never know in regards to Bush et al and their crimes. Makes me wonder what is coming next. Something is brewing.

CNN lost its credibility in my mind long ago and rivals only Fox in terms of its ability to feed propaganda to the American public.

For just one example, CNN International Chief and Executive Christiane Amanpour is married to James Rubin. For the entire period of the Clinton administration, Rubin was an Assistant Secretary of State and spokesman for the U.S. State Department. Can you imagine that pillow-talk? Can you imagine a bigger conflict of interest?

I think Barabara Starr needs to be droned.

She's tacitly cheerleading the invasion of Iran.

"Shows what US troops are up against." (??) They're behind a control panel, far away, shooting "the enemey" like it's a video game. They probably love it. "Hit. Awesome dude." Or something like that.

How do we know they are terrorists? How do we know there aren't children around? Are these drones/drone operators so clever?? Looked kinda blurry to me. Shoot first, ask questions later? On second thought, no need for questions. Hit!! (This is Rumsfeld's new army. See implanted spy insects and microwave guns.)

It's amazing (sickening) what this adminstration does for power and money.

74 Stu Pidasso Says: There was a war in Iraq and I think the USA beatwar right now al-Qaeda but I don’t think very many people die there anymore. Only about 5 a week.

I saw a lot of cool fireworks and stuff blowing up about 5 years ago and then I think we won. So I don’t know what all the fuss is about.

If there is a war right now I wish they’d show the battles and explosions. That would be cool.

It's propaganda. They think Americans are going to feel safer watching the deaths of a handful of insurgents.

For War, War, War, Bush Needs A Bad Guys

Play close attention, we are currently in the time line to our next war. Iran is the target. This administration is hell bent on going to war. The Republicans think they own the executive branch of power during war. So, with the presidential elections on the horizon, we must have the threat of yet, you guessed it, another war.

The Not So Smart Bomb

Why was the footage in the video jumping around so much? Why was there a cut scene in the video just before the really smart bomb hit? "Ka-Boom; Did you see that; those insurgent guys are on their way to hell." I wonder if the house they were near had any innocents or "collateral damage people in it. What is the explosion ratios of these not so smart bombs that kill their target and everything around it. The "smart bomb" alias insurgent generator. When you kill Iraqi innocents, their relatives become the next wave of insurgents ready to kill everything American. It is sad, it is unfortunate, and it is real.

This administration and their military minded Republican supporters had better wake up and play grown ups instead of war czar. We need to make this election about being grown up and mature. We must not let John McCain use our troops and treasure as a classic unresolved issue from a war his era did not win. This war must end; vote Democratic.

Joseph

For a dose of Iraq reality, check out the video shot by the Italian TV station RAI called, "Fallujah: The hidden massacre". It documents the "white phosphorous" attack on Fallujah. It can be found at Liveleak.com. It is disturbing to say the least, but allows us to understand a little bit of what our troops see on a daily basis. Additionally, you can search Democracynow.org for an interview with soldiers about the incident.

Hey, i thought the TV news was this big propaganda machine working for the Bush administration and the Pentagon? Only when it suits you? Oh I see, silly me.

P.D. @ 5:

Starr is a shill. CNN is pathetic. I only watch Cafferty File. Is there a war? They never really mention it. It's always the election.

How does CNN pick their talking heads. Does a questionnaire during their pre-employment interview ask, do you bend over, do you suck, and most important, do you swallow? This aging mouthpiece for the pentagon has been getting away with this for a helluva long time. I picture this hag watching the Military Channel at night with her trusty vibrator. ...."Oh the surge,....Oh God I can feel the surge".

Who can forget the 2002 Wedding Party Massacre?

Iraqi officials last night said an American helicopter fired on a wedding party in western Iraq killing more than 40 people, including many children, in another damaging setback for the US occupation.

A senior Iraqi police officer told the Associated Press that a helicopter fired at the party early yesterday morning in a remote village close to the Syrian border, killing between 42 and 45 people.

Television footage showed a truck carrying the bodies of the dead arriving in Ramadi, the nearest big town. Many of the dead were clearly children.

In a written statement the Pentagon said last night: "Our report is that this was not a wedding party, that these were anti-coalition forces that fired first, and that US troops returned fire, destroying several vehicles, and killing a number of them.

---

American military officials were last night trying to explain one of their worst blunders during the nine-month war in Afghanistan after a US plane mistakenly targeted a house full of wedding guests, killing at least 30 of them.
The bombing happened at 1am yesterday in a village in the rugged and mountainous central region of Oruzgan, 105 miles north of the southern city of Kandahar.

Survivors of the attack said several guests had just fired their Kalashnikovs into the air, as is traditional in Pashtun wedding ceremonies. A US air patrol over-head wrongly concluded it was coming under fire and responded with devastating force.

An AC-130 helicopter gun-ship and B-52 bomber blasted the scene, leaving scores of people dead - among them women and children - and at least 40 injured.

Pentagon officials last night conceded that at least one bomb dropped on the village of Kakarak was "errant". But their initial response was confused and they were unable to explain why the pilots had failed to establish whom they were attacking in a region clearly abandoned by Taliban and al-Qaida fighters several months ago.

Oops

I've never understood (and I've given up waiting for the MSN to explain it to me) how any sane person can expect that bombers and attack helicopters flying at hundreds of miles an hour, at an altitude of (at least) 1000 feet are able to able to hit individual "militants" on the ground. I mean, I know the Tom Clancy fetishists among us are convinced that such weapons have "pinpoint accuracy" but the rest of us (with functioning brains) know that's total bullshit. I guess we have taken a page out of the Israeli playbook; pissed off at somebody? Make an entire neighborhood pay.

could this footage be manufactured by those who know 'best'

JAMMATO I dont find Barbara Starr in the spotlight target list

I don't want to take this too far off-subject, but these sort of jabs at Israel tend to perplex me. Don't get me wrong - Israel really has (in my opinion) crossed the line more than once, with a recent example being their brutal attack on Lebanon (a sort of 'shock and awe' game plan). That being said, more often than not, Israel is biting its lower lip while Lebanese 'freedom fighters' intentionally fire rockets into civilian areas. I have found though that Lebanese attacks on Israel don't seem to get the same amount of press (and certainly not the same vehement hatred) as do Israel's retaliatory efforts. Christ, Israel took control of the nation only after a hideously botched attempt by Lebanon and its allies to wipe Israel off the face of the planet. And Israel isn't holding down the Lebanese because its fun or because Israelies are inherently Evil, but because countless attempts to conjure peace (including pulling out of Gaza) have been met with increased attacks and hated from Lebanon. Again, Israel is far from guilt-free, and Olmert is no Sharon, but for all of the criticism of Israel, few seem to have suggestions on how Israel ought to handle things. This is one area wherein I fall out of line with other liberals, I guess, but I do think supporting Israel (not that the U.S. doesn't go way over the top while arming Israel as well as their enemies), the one true democracy in the region, makes sense than going out of your way to support those who have chosen to overwhelmingly elect a fanatical terrorist group into power. I'm not accusing you of saying these things - heck, I'm really just venting in general. I see snark toward Israel a lot, and so, to quote Obama, "resentment builds over time."

Sorry, I'm not on AIPAC's payroll, so there's no reason for me to mince words when it comes to Israel and it's brutal oppression of the Palestinians. Now I know, the rule in this country seems to be never, EVER, EVER, criticize Israel. I say fuck that noise! By the way, why don't you ask the Palestinians in the occupied territories how they like Israeli style "Democracy"?

{{{87 yeah! Says}}}: so, i take it the critics of my comment are in favor of the death of American soldiers?
=====================================
How do you connect the two? You get a hard on from watching people getting blown up, doesn't translate as I like to watch American soldiers getting killed: there is no connect between these two.

Am I the only one who saw the "breaking news" clip with Starr reading the Pentagon script on Iranian motorboaties were "threatening" our big bad destroyers in the "Persian" Gulf again!

Wow, such intelligent conversation. Say...What would you little people suggest be done about Iraq? Maybe we could all hug and everything will be better. If only Bush hadn't lied or he wouldn't have had to if he didn't orchestrate 9/11 in the first place, right? Then we wouldn't be in Iraq and they would continue to live a peaceful life not being able to speak-up or disagree with your government. Yes the good life wondering which family member is going to be killed today. All those free and open elections, where apparently nobody could beat Saddam, gee wheres obama when you really need him? Oh.. don't you ladies forget....Tuesdays are show your face for 25 lashes instead of the usual 50. oppression, oppression, oppression. Hey if you're lucky you will get to pick which mass grave you will be buried in. Good times, Good times.
But what do I know?

Get back on the pills. Just a suggestion, but one you should seriously consider. You're way off the ledge.

I couldn't tell if they were "insurgents" or Iraqi freedom fighters, fighting to rid their country of an invading army.

theteadiva @ 115:

About that sixth terrorist - he was obviously the terrorists' imaginary Iranian friend. Normal people can't see him - but anyone looking for a rationalization to bomb Iran can. In fact when they squint real hard, they can see Mahmoud Ahmadinejad himself burnt distinctly onto the cheese sandwich that those five terrorists - sorry, six terrorists - ate for lunch. Obviously they are getting their marching orders from that cheese sandwich! Time to toast Tehran!

ROTFL

I heard the sixth terrorist speak in Farsi, the others looked confused and responded in Arabic. That was just before the screen went blank because the 5 million dollar drone was hit by a 25 cent bullet - but then, no one at the Pentagon above the level of mailboy knows Iranians speak Farsi and Iraqis speak Arabic.

Everything she is saying is so utterly depraved and evil, it boggles the mind what this war has come to. Killing "insurgents" in Sadr City with unmanned drones? We don't need an AI Skynet to operate these hunter killer drones, just the Pentagon that has no better scruples in taking human life. At least the machine doesn't have to get into moral contortions to rationalize what they are doing. The DoD and the entire occupation of Iraq does. What is the greater evil?
