France coming around to our side?

Posted by: ST on December 15, 2003 at 10:50 pm » Comments Off

Hmmmmm … a potentially interesting development: France said Monday it will work with other nations to cancel billions of dollars in Iraqi debt and that Saddam Hussein’s capture will open the way toward mending relations with Washington. Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin of France, one of the most persuasive and persistent critics of the U.S. [...]

Media bias: Part 10,247

Posted by: ST on December 15, 2003 at 10:38 pm » Comments Off

I hate to keep harping on this but I’m going to anyway. The three examples posted below (courtesy of MediaResearch.orgerfect examples of liberal media bias in its most potent form. Honestly, I didn’t think there was a way ANYone could have spun this capture negatively. Guess I just underestimated the media (shame on me!). Won’t [...]

 

ABC’s Terry Moran: “Nazi’s Railroaded”?

Posted by: ST on December 15, 2003 at 10:12 pm » 1 Comment

Is there ANY wonder why people who enjoy REAL news tune out ABC News?: ABC’s concerns: A Saddam Hussein trial could embarrass the U.S., it will be hard to find “impartial judges in Iraq” and Nazis were “railroaded” at Nuremberg. Barely an hour after Paul Bremer had announced the capture of Saddam Hussein, ABC’s Terry [...]

More negative media spin on the capture: CBS’s Lesley Stahl is worried the U.S. might “torture” Saddam Hussein by depriving him of sleep or making him “very cold” or “very hot.” Interviewing Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld for Sunday’s 60 Minutes, Stahl wanted Rumsfeld to confirm: “The Red Cross can see him soon?” She soon [...]

 

Peter Jennings spins capture negatively

Posted by: ST on December 15, 2003 at 10:05 pm » Comments Off

No surprises here, I’m afraid: Without explaining his personal contact with Iraqis during the day, Jennings asserted: “On the other hand Martin, as people have suggested to us today, there’s not a good deal for Iraqis to be happy about at the moment. Life is still very chaotic, beset by violence in many cases, huge [...]

 

Honoring Sen. Zell Miller

Posted by: ST on December 15, 2003 at 9:57 pm » Comments Off

A great conservative in Democrat clothing Sen. Zell Miller, the maverick Democrat who left fellow Democrats sputtering with a critical book that has become a national best seller, may get a statue on or near the state Capitol grounds, thanks to home state Republicans. A bill creating a commission to honor Miller, a former two-term [...]

Dems now eating their young?

Posted by: ST on December 15, 2003 at 9:50 pm » Comments Off

Seems like Republicans aren’t the only ones worried about what a Howard Dean presidency would mean for our national security: A new ad questioning Howard Dean’s national security credentials is backed by a group that includes former supporters of rivals Dick Gephardt and John Kerry. The ad shows a picture of Osama bin Laden and [...]

 

McDermott: Saddam capture timed

Posted by: ST on December 15, 2003 at 9:46 pm » Comments Off

Unreal! These guys on the kook left are so bitter about this. Luckily, at least one Congressional Dem has spoken out against McDermott’s idiotic comments. If the left and right alike could get rid of their “fringe” nutters in Congress (via the election process, of course!), America would be a much better place: Rep. Jim [...]
