has been scouring Baghdad, looking for the civil war. As Peters
, what did the intrepid and innovative Mr. Peters find?
What??!! The downtrodden and radicalized population of Baghdad, victimized by the Imperial stormtroopers of the Zionist Bushitlerburton Neocon Conspiracy

Oh, my, this story is sure to cause a nervous breakdown on the part of the Leftists. What, I say, what are they to do? Surely there is another angle they can explore. The civil war was a rolling battle that was always either ahead or behind the US troops on patrol in Bagdad. I think Bagdad Bob is working as a stringer for the New York Times.

Read on! He clearly points out what I've said months ago - the MSM is has been pulling a "Hunter Thompson" as far as on-site coverage.
Forget the bias aspect of the MSM - their personal fear & cowardness has become so transparent to all.

Kind of reminds me of the news media's opinion of how well the U.S military would fair in urban combat, because as we all know the strength of the military in the media's opinion is limited to "dropping bombs at a thousand feet on targets"
Their estimates for Fallujah was a cross between a quagmire, and Ypres.

Okay no civil war - that's fine. If even if there was one, that's cool. Brown people killing brown people is okay. What about the things that matter? What about the American attrocities, the looting, the DU, the White Phosphorous, The Council on Foreign Relations?

Oh if it wasn't for the propaganda. My goodness reality. There's no doubt how the overwhelming majority of Iraqis feel about freedom, as opposed to a small handful.
I wanna add its not only the Leftist media's fear and cowardness, its their betrayal of America and Iraq. If this was Bill Clinton's war, the NYTimes would not be the enemy.

Is the New York Post a tabloid?

Richard, yup.
"Imperial stormtroopers of the Zionist Bushitlerburton Neocon Conspiracy"
Now this is funny. How often do you see DUers and Kossacks take the names we give them and get creative like this? Where's their sense of humor? Their inventiveness? When have they ever even snidely referred to themselves as Tin Foil Hat Wearing Moonbat Colonists just to be funny?
You know, if I had to pick one principal reason for not being a Democrat it would be because they just don't know how to have fun.

Richard,
The New York Post has yet to be caught fabricating documents and reporting fake stories.

Richard has reservations about the Post for the same reason so many people liked Clinton; most people prefer a beautiful lie to the ugly truth.

The New York Post isn't lying, but they are tabloid-ish.

The Post is published in a tabloid printing format, but it's not a National Enquirer style tabloid.

I read the "article" in the NY Post...simplistic and laughable at best. What did this guy expect to find ... blue and grays on horseback with Stonewall Jackson in the middle? The kind of sectarian, inter-nacine violence that has preceeded civil wars around the globe for decades is alive, well and documented, from the the far, far lefty Progressive to righty-loyalist Bill Kristol's Nation. And the Post columnist's fantasy of smiling throngs waving at US forces aside, no one doubts the potential for civil war--including Donald Rumsfeld.
Sorry, but if the Post is an example of the best of non- or anti-MSM, we are, to quote Full Metal Jacket's Private Pyle, already in a world of shit.

wavygravy: do you have anything that directly impeaches Peters' firsthand, eyewitness article or are you just blowing typical moonbat partisan smoke?
That was a rhetorical question, btw.

I'm impeaching Peters' assertion that having people wave at you somehow means there is no civil war fomenting. And the fact he pretends to be the only journalist who's ever left the Green Zone. Several dead and mamed one could dispute the fact.

Motion to impeach denied, on the basis that the counsel for the moonbats hasn't supplied any evidence to back the motion.
Have a nice day.

Let's see...how can I provide evidence that having people smile and wave means there's no civil war. Well, my neighbor smiled and waved at me as I left for work this morning, and didn't shoot me because I'm a Catholic. OK, I know when I'm beaten.

Why not find a journalist who had the balls to ride around outside the green zone when Peters did who can counter what Peters reported?
Failing that, you could talk to folks who have actually served or are currently serving in Iraq to see if what the MSM reports is accurate (not according to my friends and family in the war zone), but I suppose people like you don't associate with the commoners who actually fight the wars, do you?
You're right. You lose.

I see. Please clarify, in which war did you fight, commoner? I served from early 1980 to mid-1982 in the 563rd Combat Engineer Battalion in Ludendorf Kaserne Kornwesthiem--the 4th generation of my family to serve in the military including infantry in Korea and WWII. You?

Typical.
Tell me who you know who's currently serving in Iraq, not Germany, and what they're telling you to contradict Peters.
Before you go too far with the Combat Engineer story; my son-in-law just finished his tour with a Combat Engineer unit. The BS detector will be set to maximum.
FYI: I left a fairly lucrative advertising career and entered government service in 2003, where I was used as a human explosives detector until ruining my knee in late 2004. I'm still awaiting authorization for replacement surgery. So far, government service has cost me one knee and approximately $30,000 in salary differential vs. private sector earnings. What have you been doing since 9/11?

Oh, and my Dad eventually died in 1989, the result of the wound that earned him the Purple Heart on Okinawa. He was a Sergeant of Marines; enlisted at age seventeen. He also won the Bronze Star in action near Yontan airfield, also on Okinawa. His brother died in 1966 from malaria contracted in the South Pacific while serving in the Army.

You want pictures of me working on roads and airfield improvements in the Divisional Engineer Battalion (DEB) of the 24th Infantry Division (CONUS), send me your personal e-mail address...I've got hundreds of 'em. Maybe you bullshit on the Web, I don't need to.
And no, I haven't been a human explosives detector since 9/11, nor a food tester to the King, a crash test dummy or any other such heroics. I've been doing what' I've been doing for 18 years -- an adverising copywriter
