Not only does she make some good points, she's cute too.

Very good article, and from a very unexpected source, but a few of the comments are downright nauseating.

I wonder if she's one of our plants

I was with her until this point:

"between Bush's hammer and Bin Laden's anvil, hostages to an extreme right wing American administration, aggressively seeking to impose its expansionist and hegemonic will over the region at gunpoint,"

and yeah...I'd do her.

I don't think she's trying to say we plan to make Iraq the fifty first state but you have to admit we are attempting to expand our type of government into their country and lives and right now we're using guns to get it done. Personally I'm ok with that though

Hell, you hear worse than that on American news sites. For Al-Jazeera, that's downright Bush fanboyism.

What she fails to understand is that main stream america supports what we are doing in Iraq. It is only the far left that opposes the war. We tried the pacifist liberal method during the Klinton years and look what happened. While we may be trying to orchestrate a democratic type government in Iraq, it will ultimately be the Iraqis who determine what form that may take.
Maybe the reporter needs to meat me so she can learn to shed her fear of right thinking men.

I'm not sure what reality you're living in, but please don't drag us into it! The majority of Americans *used* to support the war, but the most recent polls show that the majority now disapprove of the war. Apparently most of the country has come around to the far left's way of thinking

You can see this for yourself if you type into Google: iraq war approval rating

I bet I could swing those polls to positive in a weeks time if they used objective reporting in the media.

Give me control of ABC, NBC and CBS for 30 days and watch how opinion changes.

Thats because you would only poll yourself.

Woodchip is closed off to his own little set of right wing viewpoints, almost like the Republicans are a football team (you know, root for the team no matter what, agree with anything they do). He should be the new host of The Factor should O'reilly get a heart attack doing lesbian phone sex

I hate to break it to ya, but you'll never get objective reporting in any media because they're always catoring to the masses.

And you Birdy, would be the first one I interviewed.

Sounds great, I can't wait. What say we knock off O'reilly?

Better yet lets off Al Franken-stein. He's totally worthless and the world would be a better place without him. Think of all the accolades the far right would bestow upon us!

Hmmm, so thats why the republican party started begging for money today.

I guess they think that being a relative of former military personell means that I would support dumbass.
