'Today': Wave Of Iraqi Violence Attempt To Influence US Elections
Today Show/NewsBusters ^
| Mark Finkelstein
Posted on 10/19/2006 5:17:11 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest
There was a stunning bit of candor from NBC reporter Richard Engel at the end of his report on this morning's 'Today' on the situation in Iraq:
Speaking with US soliders, Engel reported:
"They believe insurgents are intensifying attacks against US soldiers to influence November's mid-term elections."
Shouldn't it give Americans pause to consider that in the eyes of our men on the ground, our enemy wants to see the Democrats take power?
Perhaps George Soros will sponsor a new MTV series: 'Rocket-Grenade The Vote'.

Isn't it interesting that the terrorists want the Democrats to be elected. Perhaps the MSM should do a story on that....ya..sure.

The media can't spin the failure of this modern day Tet offensive as this communist,
did back in 1968

The stunning thing is that Engel effectively just did!I confess I am pretty amazed. I wonder if he fully realized what he was saying.

The enemies take notice of our dinosaur media...and use it to their advantage. CNN has an insurgent video out, hsowing how snipers are teargeting our troops. Of course they say "although the nature of the video is disturbing, we feel it must be shown". Honestly, sometimes I don't think they have a brain in their head.

The DNC's GOTV campaign is getting a boost from Islamic terrorists? I guess this how the terrorists show gratitude for Pelosi's, Reid's, and Murtha's "Retreat in Defeat" initiative.
That's one group the Republicans would never accept help from. I guess the Democratic Party truly has the bigger tent.

" One would think.... "
Well, just *stop* it!!
"Thinking" is one of the proscribed activities while watching MSM "News".
Your proper role is to mindlessly accept the predigested opinion-masquerading-as-news, and then dutifully go vote Democrat.

The troops are far more savvy than many people realize. War is always about politics. But some people, mostly Democrats, think it's always about other things, like poverty or Gay Rights or something else is motivating our enemies.
Just as we want a stable and preferably free and democratic Iraq for political reasons, the "insurgents" want chaos now for political reasons. The illusion of a civil war is propaganda by deed that the toppling of Saddam was a failure. So in an impotent rage they murder civilians in mass numbers and get the attention from the MSM to spread their image of ruthless success. These evil plotters know Americans are historically impatient. They know many Americans buy into the myth that insurgencies cannot be defeated, fed by wrong-headed readings of the American Revolution and the Vietnam War. They also know isolationism is a strong if latent elixir that Americans like to fall back on when things become difficult. They don't know how bullheaded George W. Bush is.

One thing the socialists in this country have with the terrorists is they both seek the destruction of Democracy. The difference is the terrorists wish to do so with violence while the socialists want to do it through the political process.

"They believe insurgents are intensifying attacks against US soldiers to influence November's mid-term elections." Our brave men and women on the ground know the score:
DemocRAT win 7 Nov = Victory for terrorists
It's up to us to see to it that never comes to pass.
We owe it to our men and women in uniform...past, present and future.

So the media admit the terrorists want to elect Democrats! And with this in mind, a majority of Americans, if you believe polls, are inclined to go along. I sometimes wonder if this country isn't all through.

God forbid, but the ensuing "happy fire" in Baghdad should provide our forces with a local intelligence bonanza.

The difference is the terrorists wish to do so with violence while the socialists want to do it through the political process corrupting the political and judicial processes. Fixed it.
