Al Jazeera ^ | 11/22/05

The article apears to have been written by a 6 year old.

It also smells to high heaven of the typical conspiracy theory's Arab sheet-heads love to read. "Unamed sources"
and "unamed government aides" who sneak this aleged "memo" back to where they stole it from. You gotta love it.

[McGruff]

Hey, it's right next to the Chinese Embassy on the CIA's maps.

Hehehe!

"He made clear he wanted to bomb Aljazeera in Qatar and elsewhere. Blair replied that would cause a big problem."

Well, Tony won that round.

I have a problem with Al Jazeera's continued bad attitude and the fact that the Emir of Qatar hasn't had the top editors liquidated yet. I live in Europe and Al Jazeera is taken too seriously here. If leaving it alone is supposed to be part of a higher strategy I don't understand...then I wish someone would explain it all to me.

Why, during wartime operations, would you not bomb the enemies primary propagandist and media machine that fuels and inspires the terrorists? I want a congressional investigation into why Al-jazeera was not bombed, while our soldiers bear the brunt of their media distortions.

Downing Street memo leak? Hmm...sounds familiar! However, it IS a good idea.

I see the MSM cable news has picked it up too. Something for them to salivate over. Jeeze didn't know the Mirror was such a good news source (/sarcasm).

"Downing Street memo leak? Hmm...sounds familiar!"

Yup, somewhere around there leaks like a sieve. I would suspect the Foreign Office myself.

Haven't read much on this story yet so I'll reserve judgement. That said, there seem to have been so many authentic leaks that it hardly seems that it would be worthwhile to go to the bother of making something up.

Brit leftists at it again, LOL, the left has completely compromised themselves on the alter of Saddam and Sons, and the Islamic cults he funded.

As the did with Arafat and Israel for the last 25 years.

According to The Daily Mirror, which often refers to Bush as a warmonger, "the five page memo--stamped `Top Secret'--records a threat by Bush to unleash `military action' against the TV station, which America accuses of being a mouthpiece for anti-U.S. sentiments."

Ping!

Al Jazeera is very popular in the UK. BBC gets a lot of reporters from there, and the other way round. David Frost works for AJ now and the former editor-in-chief of AJ TV, Ibrahim Helal, works for BBC now.

In fact BBC International sounds an awful lot like Al Jazeera.

So, perhaps the UK will fall before France does. :')
