#3 Yesterday this was funny, now I just feel sorry for the guy. How pained must he be by the prospects for his own country (now that we're going to let their economy mostly tank) and its shameful role in this matter to lash out like this on a foreign blog?

#4 Just keep your eyes closed for realities, like the 7 women and children killed at a checkpoint in the operation "liberation - free Iraq".

For as long the ostrich politics works, see no evil, hear no evil.

"Whatch CNN be the first to know", bwah what a farce.

#5 One of the long term benefits of this war has been to force the authoritarian fascist left to show its true colors. Our friend Murat, for example, clearly defines freedom and truth in terms of support for the ravings of the Saddamite propaganda ministry, this being practically all we heard from the Stalinist liar Arnett while he was in Baghdad. Nobody blocked NBC's door to force them to fire Tailwind Pete, but Murat's totalitarian colleagues and fellow fifth-columnists have, in fact, tried that with the "corporate media" including CNN. This is nothing but a rationale for censorship. The real farce, Mu-rat, is you and the rest of the pacifascist mass-murder and suicide bomb apologists pretending to give a rat's ass about the lives of Iraqis.

#7 "HOME OF THE FREE: ARNETT JOINS MIRROR"
From reporting for the biggest,most preistigis news orginazations,to working for a gossip-printing,tabloid rag.
How does that bullet wound in your foot feel?
Hey Mu-rat,looks like you are going to have company being irrelavant and ignored.

#8 What I don't think you realize is, the definition of what makes a nation, organization, etc. great, does NOT have to hinge upon a single incident (or two). It is more about how great its average performance is in comparison to others. The AVERAGE performance of the US in ALL areas (including: human rights, humanitarian effort, foreign policy, etc, etc, etc)is a cut above the performance in these areas by just about any other nation throughout thier long histories.

How else does a country become the cultural, scientific, human rights, political, economic, etc etc (ad nauseum) hub of the entire world???

Many people may not respect some act or acts committed by the US, but NONE who know the truth can fail to acknowledge the fact that when anyone has a problem -- the US is always looked to for a solution!!!

Quite frankly, I'm tired of the whole affair - I'd rather quit the war in Iraq - bring our troops home, and let all of the morons out there wipe each other out -- we can take care of OURSELVES without YOUR help... Lets see how all of these other nations do when we compete with them on an even economic footing, not using trade resitrictions that actually favor foreign companies.....

#9 This is supposedly Arnett's first article for the Mirror. Do not read it immediately after eating. Do not be surprised if it is difficult to pull up either (I had to keep trying over 15 minutes to get it to work......don't these lefties have decent servers???)

Ok, Murat, I'm confused.....Bush is a commie? I thought you guys thought he was a nazi. Next you'll be saying he voted for Nader......

#10 Murat:

dead Iraqi civilians?

That's what happens when Saddam uses human shields and suicide bombers, and hides his troops among civilians.

Cause - effect

They did not start off like this.

If the troops think it is kill or be killed, they will kill and rightly so. That van was given warning shots, it refused to stop. For all they knew it could've had a bomb-bunny in it

#11 Murat, he's all yours. Maybe you can start his fan club?

#12 Hey Murat, when the war's over and the real truth about what happened comes out, are you going to own up to your nonsense? Or will you be too busy trying to emigrate to the newly democratic Republic of Iraq?

#14 RW, They're calling it Operation Iraqi Freedom. They were going to call it Operation Iraqi Liberation until they realized that spells 'OIL.'

#17 That WAS good. Not as good as the earlier mentioned "Operation Zionist Infidel Crusader", but good enough to earn my vote as funniest blog Troll.

#18 Fred, eniough is enough. Murat is a troll or a propagandist. "Bush Communism"? Give me a break. Fred its time to send Murat off to make his own weblog if he wants to do pure propaganda.

And Murat, you racist ignorant Turk, what say you about your Racist Genocidal Kemalist government and how it had attempted to "ethnically cleanse" the Kurds and Armenians, hmm? Still no answers to the charges history, recent and ancient, brings against your pathetically backward country? Typical - you are all bluster and no guts. Typical Turkish Coward. Go grow a mustache to make up for the internal mahood you lack.

#19 Hey Murat,

Have you stopped backshooting Armenians yet?

#20 OldSpook. It's like TV. You don't like what's on, you turn the channel. In my humble opinion, Murat's an idiot. An amateur idiot. But let him post his crap, either ignore it or comment on it, and move along to the next post. Don't let him get to you. I know that's hard sometime. Believe me, I know.

#21 I've been leaving Murat's posts in because they've been tied to news items. It's good for us to get regular doses of news from the other side - though I agree he's crossing the line lately. News from the other side, yes; picking fights, no - though some commenters seem willing and able to wade in with bare knuckles and the occasional bludgeon.

I try to build a daily summary of the war on terror. I'm going to start deleting or modifying articles that are posted to pick fights. Most of us don't have the time to waste on that nonsense.

Murat, please observe basic courtesy toward other readers and posters. And the link goes in the bottom box on the GuestPoster screen.

#22 Fred, Fair enough - thanks for the response. And a couple of his posts are fairly informative, when he doesnt go off the rails editorially & inflammatorially, especially to demonstrate what distortions the "other side" accept as "truth".

As for the bludgeon...

(in my best imitation Saddam voice)
No, thats not me, nevermind the bloodied (verbal) baseball bat I'm holding behind my back.
