Georgie's plan to bomb was just a joke. haha |
Last week the U.K.'s Daily Mirror reported that an internal British
goverment memo documented George W. Bush's intent to bomb the
Qatar-based media organization Al Jazeera during the Iraq war.

Al Jazeera has been a thorn in the side of the Bush administration
since the war began, inconveniently getting the way of the
administration's attempts to spread propaganda throughout the middle
east.
According to the Mirror:
President Bush planned to bomb Arab TV station al-Jazeera in friendly
Qatar, a "Top Secret" No 10 memo reveals.
But he was talked out of it at a White House summit by Tony Blair, who
said it would provoke a worldwide backlash.
A source said:
"There's no doubt what Bush wanted, and no doubt Blair didn't want him
to do it."
A British government official said that the threat was probably
intended to be "humorous, not serious."
Well ha ha.
But if that's the case, why has the memo now been suppressed by
Britain's attorney general, who is also prosecuting two people under
the Official Secrets Act for leaking it?

But let's be serious - of course the Bush administration would never
bomb Al Jazeera.
Why, that time they destroyed the Al Jazeera offices in Kabul,
Afghanistan, was just an accident.

Democrats write:
"Al Jazeera has been a thorn in the side of the Bush administration
since the war began, inconveniently getting the way of the
administration's attempts to spread propaganda throughout the middle
east. "
Well I'm glad to see that Democrats are finally showing us their true
colors. Our soldiers are baby killers, according to John Kerry, and
now you are saying that Al Jazeera is the source of all truth in the
middle east!

Please identify anyplace, anywhere that John Kerry has used the term "baby
killers" to describe U.S. troops. Otherwise - shut the ***** up and stop
lying you ignorant right-wing scumbag.
and now you are saying that Al Jazeera is the source of all truth in the

Another lie - this poster never said any such thing.
The value being expressed here is the value of a free press - even when that
free press expresses views of the Arab world.
Why do you hate freedom so much you unAmerican scumbag?

it might be true if they had no weapons, bush loves bombing people that
don't have real weapons.
however, if you're like north korea and have REAL weapons, then bush is too
much of a chicken-***** to bomb them.
