"You cannot insult him on TV and give him an ultimatum. You can't do it on TV like that and expect him to resign. We make him more stubborn, more stubborn than he is."

When the USA speaks two-bit dictators better listen, we mean business unlike the UN.

I bet the hubster doesn't watch FOX News Channel ? Try to wean him off the lamestream media and over to FOX and maybe it will sink in. lol.

There are a LOT more Iraqis that feel like the one you mentioned than this knucklehead Iraqi Pakistani Peace Activist in this article . . .

My husband hates the news, but is forced to when there's a crisis; and I watch FNC. But he works out at the gym and they only play CNN. Aargh! I can always tell when he's been at the gym by his take on the news. He's really dreading this war (well, all of us are), because he knows that he is going to lose control of the remote. Share? Share alike? With a war going on? Not a chance!

Here's the email I just sent to AP (info@ap.org)

Sirs:

I was dumfounded to read the following AP article (byline Matt Curry) in this morning's Dallas Morning News:

http://www.dallasnews.com/texassouthwest/ap/stories/AP_STATEGS_0567.html

Note that, despite a title that implies monolithic opposition ("Texans of Iraqi descent decry march toward war"), the reporter cites a grand total of _two_ Iraqi-Texans to support the thesis.

I was further dumfounded to discover, with a simple Google search, that the key source cited in the article (Hadi Jawad) is an activist in two extreme-Left groups (American Muslim Alliance and Coalition in Solidarity with the People of Iraq) that have formed coalitions with extreme anti-semitic groups such as the Nation of Islam. Even more curious: it appears Jawad is not Iraqi, but was born in Pakistan.

Oddly, Jawad is characterized in the article with the rather bland designation of "peace activist."

If you in the media are struggling to understand why we dopes in flyover country hold you in utter disregard, you need look no further than this sad little shred of agitprop masquerading as a "news story." If Mr. Curry and his headline writer wish to write Op-Eds, please reassign them to the appropriate department.

Sincerely,

PS - Given a bit of time, I am confident I can locate two Right Wing extremists who would like to drop an atomic bomb on Paris. Would you please interview them, and run the story with the headline "Americans support nuclear annihilation of France"?

Get your husband to listen to the audio that's on this page.

There's a FreeRepublic thread on this somewhere, I didn't have it handy. But the audio is a "must listen".

[FreedomPoster]

Nice. Very nice, good rant. Too bad they won't "get" it.

Unfortunately, my husband won't listen to any news voluntarily. He figures he gets enough of it from me:) But I sneak it in. When Mike Smerconish here in Philly did several days of broadcasting with Jayna Davis where she laid out her evidence that the OKC bombing had Iraqi support, I turned on the radio so my husband couldn't avoid it. He thought I just wanted to listen to it. I did, but I made certain that he heard it too. And it convinced him! But I don't have too many of these opportunities. I "exploit" them when I can. Thanks for the link!
