Taking advantage of the disasters, hip pockets and the election campaign, the media begins to treat each death with boredom. Thus the people are lulled.........

Bin Laden played a part in getting George re-elected in 2004, quite deliberately as they needed each other. How many lives if Kerry...

I wonder how Bin will play it this time. The latest Basra business is at the timing of the Americans. I wonder at the wisdom of this on the face of it. Is the risk worth it? Is it the last throw of the dice?

Beyond this on the face of it, there may well be another agenda. The breakup of Iraq into three? How appropriate that the Iraqi central government should be the instrument of its own destruction at the prompting of their US masters. Stupid compliment tools/fools? All in the Zionist plan.

The media sees things going well in Iraq and is no longer interested in reporting it. After all, good news is no news. It is easy enough to go back and check, as the surge began to work, the media began to lose interest.

The main stream media report what they are told to. The control of the press in Iraq has been such that this control has become the main story. Bush and his cohorts are quite thankful to have the press distracted by election procedures or which politician will be reported by the madam.

The media may be freer to report in China for all I know. Certainly censorship is extraordinary in the "home of the free".
