[LostInAnomie]

2. I think as soon as the Olympics and the RNC are over...

...the shit might hit the fan again.

On edit: If the US fucks with that Mosque expect to hear about it really soon, because Iraq is going to explode.

4. Right around the time of the 1000th US combat death in Iraq

There will be at least one day when Iraq is back in the news.

5. I bet that you are right.

3. Just wait until Kerry is inaugurated

It will ALL be back on the FRONT PAGE.

Soldiers being KILLED and MAIMED!! Why has Kerry allowed LordGodBush's Glorious Victory and Pacification of Iraq to disintegrate into chaos?


Count on it.

6. That was the main purpose of the Swift Boat Fiasco

[linazelle]

7. Bingo.

It's so good to see that people here at least can see through the hype. Gawd I wish they'd let Swiftboat GOOOO. Move the fuck on. There's so much more at stake than that. In fact, Bush will let it go when it's served its purpose, he'll denounce them, of course Kerry will then have wasted time pursuing it while they move on to attack him from another angle. Operation Tentacles.

8. Olympic coverage & SBVFT overdrive...but I get bits and pieces still

I'm TERRIBLY concerned about what's going on in the middle east and Iraq. It's not good at all.

At the moment, I'm also terribly worried and busy about getting Bush the hell outta the White House before he has us in WWIII!!

9. Its on the back page of our small town paper in a column

about 4" long. I expect it will be 3", 2" and then . . . .
You know, no news is good news!

10. kick

[spinbaby]

11. Very frustrating

The worse it gets in Iraq, the less coverage we get. Remember last fall? Every time a bomb went off in Baghdad, we were treated to breathless footage of reporters standing on rooftops describing just how the bomb sounded and what it might have damaged.

12. Not if Sistani has anything to do with it...

Najaf: Sistani Tells Iraqis to March to Save the City
This could be a march, a la Gandhi.

...an aide to Iraq's top Shiite Muslim cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, said the cleric was returning home from London after treatment for a heart condition and had called on Iraqis to march on Najaf to save the city,

"Ayatollah Sistani is going to return in a few hours to the homeland to save Najaf ... We call on all Iraqis ... to prepare to march on Najaf," aide Hamad al-Khaffaf told Al-Arabiya TV Wednesday from London.
