From Chalibi and his friends?

Where is the proof?? And why is the media letting him get this message point across without holding his feet to the fire, so to speak, to deliver the proof???

[LeftLeaner]

The Propaganda to go to war is beginning.

[LeftLeaner]

MSM, don't meme this.

[aintnogod]

You would think with all the additional information supposed available because of informants and what have you that we'd have had solid information on these infiltrators and their plans for the Green Zone. Maybe the surge is not working as well as it was supposed to.

[LeftLeaner]

You mean the "ESCALATION".

David Betrayus is rattling the chains of war with Iram just as Bush, Cheney, and Israel want him to do.I find it ironic that Cheney on his “tour” in the ME is as warmongering on behalf of Israel as always. Iran is threatening the security of the world-translation- Iran threatens Israel.How is Iran "threatening" the US? Iran funds terrorist extremists and defies the United Nations by refusing to be open about its nuclear program-translation-Iran is the ONLY country that does these things? Surely not the US and ISRAEL? right? No mention of Bin Laden in there. David Betraus should be sent out of the Green Zone with no protection and told to come back when he changes his mind about those he is kow towing too. I hope those listening to what he had to say were thinking "when do we eat" and "god, I have to go the bathroom" and "this speech is making me sick and I think I am going to vomit right here". What a total load of bullshit. How can anyone, anywhere believe this a**hole? I hope someone had the decency to fart in his face without him knowing it just so he could get a whiff of his own cologne.

You bet Sonny. You're just intoxicated from fellating both McCain and Cheney last week.

[Ramirez]

Classy comment. Very progressive.

[Bendersky]

take a good luck at this man and you will see the eyes of man who has sold his soul to the devil.

[Bendersky]

Well, he is the top sycopha--I mean, general over there. And he did say it in public. It must be true.

[Sundialsvc4]

Yee, haw. Ride 'em cowboy. Bet they got bunkers somewhere... let's drop some nuk... I mean, "bunker busters"... on 'em and send 'em a present of Geiger counters. Let's stop this playing-games bit and start World War Three! Yeah! Now, where's my marshmallows? I see a nuclear fire starting up here and I like my marshies toasty.

First Petreaus says " I have evidence that Iran did everything", thern says he thinks Iran was behind the mortar attacks.
If he wants to start another disastrous war, keep making vague accusations - Bush must be wetting himself with joy!
Let's see the hard evidence.

[plainsman]

Didn't you know??? Unsubstantiated thought = evidence.

[IslandGyal]

Sound the drum beats for war.... Bush is going to pull a Clinton on us and bomb Iran, on his last week in office.
