| #9 If I was a billionaire, I would just for the hell of it start an anti-European newspaper. Instead of articles and editorials about issues in the USA, I'd feature nothing but Europe-bashing content. Every day I read Merde in France and No Pasaran and everyday I am floored by the amount of anti-American crap published every single day. Then there are English language cesspools like the Toronto Star, the Independent, and the Guardian. I can't even guess what the Greek press is like. Maybe Aris could enlighten us. Hell, maybe Aris is right. Maybe the EU will be a good thing... if it gets the rest of the world to stop obsessing over the US and start worrying about their own problems. |

| #8 AC - And the great thing is that he'll understand why we're beating him up. In fact, if he was one of us, he'd be beating himself up. So it's all good! |

| #7 Al Independent, of course, is home-base for the legendary uber-idiotarian Robert Fisk. Posted by atomic conspiracy to HarryCaul On News/Activism 03/29/2003 4:18:49 AM CST #784 of 2,549 Fisk is due for another American tour pretty soon. We should all attend one of his speaking engagements, listen politely to his speech, ask polite questions, show him all the consideration and hospitality our society traditionally affords to those who offer alternate points of view; praise his style, wit, and courage, and the other admirable qualities of his media image; then beat him up. |

| #6 And if we had wasted this prick, like we should've, it'd be "Barbarian Americans Kill Holy Man". I coulda lived with it. |

| #5 Many in the media are as much an enemy as the terrorists and Jihadi supporters. In this war, words kill as effectively as bullets and bombs. Enemy reporters and news organizations need to be hit. |

| #3 It was Tater who offered to withdraw first and even to disband his militia, having achieved none of his goals. To everyone except the hate-blinded anti-American bigots of the dhimmi media, this would be seen as an abject surrender. We achieved a great deal more than he did, and this Iraqi-negotiated agreement has brought us closer to our actual goals, as opposed to the strawmen Al Independent uses to justify its tediously predictable distortion of these events. The media are the enemy. If every Islamofascist fell over dead tomorrow, the diseased minds at the heart of the mass media culture would find some other vehicle for their depraved agenda. |

| #2 Hmmm. That article says that al-Sadr will be allowed to go free, and the Mehdi army will not disband. This CNN article says that the US is just withdrawing from Najaf (as are Sadr's forces), and that the demands for Sadr to turn himself in and disband his army haven't changed. The BBC says the same. One of those articles says that Coalition (not necessarily US, I suppose) troops will still carry out "presence patrols". Spin is fun! |

| #1 Lefties constantly advocate compromise and negotiation as an enlightened alternative to brute force, then distort it as an American defeat and gloat about it when it does happen. If this strategy of Goebbels-style hypocrisy is really successful in swaying opinion, or is finally perceived in the White House as an enemy propaganda success, Al Independent and the other fifth column outlets can count on the next batch of jihadis being exterminated to the last man. |
