As reported by MSNBC, today, the Pakistani newspaper The Daily Mail reported that the U.S. was debliberaely bombing sacred, historic and religious sites, that American G.I.s were raping Iraqi women IN THEIR TANKS (who saw???) and that we HAD, indeed, dropped the A-Bomb, killing HUNDERDS OF THOUSANDS...Of course, as reported by the same tabloid, Saddam survived. When asked by Kevin Tibble of NBC news, how they knew this, they replied..."We have our sources." I give up. Trying to respond to these ludicrous charges is like trying to clap with one hand.

clapping with one hand is easy...depends how how much pain you can stand on your forehead!!!!!

"daily mail"...........me thinks they have gone postal!

Ps. From what we hear, the shrine/grave of Ali, Prophet Muhammad's cousin and Islam's fourth caliph is not safe. We cannot believe the Iraqis are harming it. Iraqis would NEVER do such a thing, no matter how bad the Saddam can be. It has been there for centuries and no one ever touch it. Iraqis have been there always. They would NEVER touch the grave or bring harm to it in anyway. Its not possible. That's who US and British are blaming it on. This is something we cannot believe because its impossible. Its another war taktic. If anyone dare to bring harm to it then

I watch FOX news because they try to be fair and ballanced in their reporting where some of the other networks don't. They are saying that Iraqi soldiers are hiding in the shrine. The coalition are NOT firing on it because they know it is sacred and do not want to damage it. When some of the Iraqi citizens got upset because the soldiers were too close to the shrine, the soldiers moved back. I saw this just about 2 minutes ago. I understand how you feel about it though. I felt the same way when the Church of the Nativity was desecrated last year.

I think that's the funniest thing I've heard all week.

Glad I could give you a chuckle!

Gee Soledad, where do you get all of your misinformation?
Jackie, Perry and Miss Daisy

Don't you know Fox News couldn't POSSIBLY present balanced reports.....they're not liberal enough. You know like the REALLY balanced news they're giving on ABC and CNN....yeah that's it.

[Soledad]

I wouldn't solely rely on any of them. But then again, I like to actually apply critical thinking to my political views.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I didn't say they 'were' fair and balanced, I said they 'try'. I think they really do try to give more than one side not like other networks who I won't mention. I wish Paul would give us a smilie with it's tongue in it's cheek for showing sarcasim.

[mugsy]

I guess I feel that when you watch the news you SHOULD take what is reported and digest it and make your own judgement. That's part of the human condition.

I thought you might enjoy reading the article.
It has to do with the Top Cleric who asks followers
to stay of of the fight.
(I believe it has been reported on every news channel, I have watched that Iraqi soldiers are using Shrines.)

P.S. Just a note, Fox cable news in my opinion
is a bit more hawkish, than other cable news.
That is why I like it. I also like Fox cable news because
they bring representation from both side of the
table to debate.
I also watch CNN, BBC, MSNBC, and
the basic news chanels such as CBS etc.

Being more hawkish, does "not" mean that they lie,
just that they report a more pro-American news.
Each country's own news stations/paper's
including the US uses Propaganda, but when a news
station out right lies, etc., that is crossing the line.

Richared: if people behaved themselves, and not presume that WE are going to bomb every country, the world would be far better off.syria provided NVG equipment to iraq and some of the people on their way to baghdad had SYRIAN passports letting them cross into iraq. >>>>>>

Richard or anyone, please correct me if I'm wrong, but
Syria in the 1980's etc., provided training camps
for varies organizations of Middle Eastern and international terrorists. There were reportedly training bases near Damascus and other training facilities elsewhere, including the Syrian controlled Biqa Valley in eastern Lebanon.


P.S. Cheeta, if the US puts sanctions on a certain country,
than it is not assuming, but you can be darn shure
their is enough poof.
Cheeta...Please take your time and find out the facts before you
post. (you might find you will get a much gentler
responce to your posts).

Cheetah...... Saddam Hussein is not a devout Muslim!!! He doesn't give a hoot about killing members of his own family, torturing dissindents by hanging them upside down and attaching weights to their testicles, attaching electric probe to women's nipples!!!!! He gased thousand of Kurds........THEY ARE MUSLIMS!!!!!!! And as well, Shia's. He uses Muslim women children as human shields. If he can kill Muslims, do you really believe he would think twice about bombing a mosque???? His is a secular regime, not a fundamentalist Muslim regime. He cares about HIMSELF.......PERIOD. I do not deny that throughout history, great harm and death has been cast upon innocents in the name of religion, Christians included! The Inquistion, The Crusades.........thousands killed all in the name of Christianity. To cloak one's evil doings in the protective shroud of piety is a joke, be you Christian, Muslim, whatever!

And Cheetah, I don't have a problem with your country, but you seem to have a problem with mine. A while back I wrote you a very kind, caring, "we need to understand each other" type post...I mentioned to you that Americans consider you a friend, how appreciative we were when your country helped us to capture terrorists on the run. You had nothing but anger in your response to me. You said that American was NOT a friend to Pakistan, that "you" were next on our "hit list." Choosing he road of hatred, pitting Muslin against Christian, Pakistani againt American get us no where. Nothing gets better when one takes that route. I read every day in your papers, in Al Jazeera, etc about your country's hatred for America and Americans; what monters we are. Just yesterday, your "protestors" called for a "jihad" against us!!! And all the while, terroritsts of WHATEVER religion are finding safe haven in your country. I for one am getting so sick of hearing this endlessly, day after day. We are the cause of all your/the world's problems......... Why don't you worry more about the nuclear missles pointed at you from India???? Or the ones you have pointed at them??????? If we were wiped off the map tomorrow, I have no doubt your part of the world would have no problem self destructing. I think you have enough to worry about in your part of the world. Muslims, in the name of Allah, in the name of God, killed a member of my family when they flew that bomb with wings, that airplane, filled with innocent citizens of the world, into the TWC!!!!!!! We were one of the lucky ones. Most of the killed were vaporized. He at least left us a few bone fragments to identify through DNA testing. Or did we make that up to????????? BUT, I do not blame Muslims, nor you, nor any particular Muslim nation. We gathered and prayed after that horror with Jews, Muslims, Christians, people from all over the world. Your part of the world could learn from US. Terrorists, by ANY name must be roooted out whevever they are, whoever they are, and stopped.

[mugsy]

It is pointless if people want to believe that we're wrong and Saddam is right (or at least doesn't need to be taken out of power) they're going to do that. Somehow tonight seems to have gotten quite ugly.

No one was screaming at anyone.
