They were making a big deal over US casualties decreasing in Iraq, especially that only 5 occurred in March. Uh, I thought it was only the 10th. They kept saying to look at that March number. Then, of course, it turned out many more Iraqis were dying, just not Americans(now that's some success, huh). It just keeps getting crazier. Fox News makes CNN look objective. What a bunch of twisted nutjobs.

The downplaying of casualties is deliberate, to be expected from a news outlet like Faux News. While it may be that there have been less casualites recently, it doesn't detract from the fact that lies of a massive scale were spoken by our leaders as the basis for the invasion. Why the lies?

Good point. One can only wonder how much more abuse the over extended military will tolerate.

They were making a big deal over US casualties decreasing in Iraq...
Dollars to doughnuts the reason for this (and the increasing Iraqi deaths) is that US troops are pulling back into firebases and not patrolling nearly as much, in preparation for a pullout after the Iraqis take control in July. Shortly after that, I expect the country to go straight to hell and for it to fall off the national radar coincidentally at the same instant, to be replaced by coverage of a "dramatic" capture of Emmanuel Goldstein, er, Osama bin Laden.

I guess the Iraqi resistance watches Faux Jews, too: seven American soldiers snuffed this weekend alone.

I have to agree. Fox is not news at all in my view, just pro-war agitprop. I have to shut it off just to get away from the SHOUTING and pulsating music and bombs blasting and flags waving. Pretty little Shepard Smith is the worst ("Liiiiiive arouuuuuund the glooooooooobe...") Fox has made CNN not only more tolerable, but more professional in my view.
They even feature that sleaze Geraldo, who incidentally called Gen. Richard Sanchez "Ricardo" Sanchez.

I have to agree. FOX, the official news agency of the Neo-Cons, pushed the Iraq war without any pretext. "We Report-You Support" should be their motto. Shepard Smith and David Asman ("We know Saddam has weapons of mass destruction") should be pushing brooms at CNN until they get over it. They lied or reported the words of liars as the truth. Which is worse? I only hope the sons or better yet the daughters of Smith and Asman make up the first wave of Marines doing the bidding of the Zionists in the next war.
By the way, why arn't the Bush daughters in the military? The mantra ought to be "Bush Daughters in the Marines". If they were, I promise you, there would be no wars such as Iraq.

[I]The Debacle of Death, aka Iraq War, continues it's downward spiral into inevitable and catastrophic disaster on a massive scale. How any person can defend this war as worthy and noble is completely beyond my capacity of reason. Those that see "progress" in Iraq are seriously demented individuals but also dangerous ones too, for through their media cheerleaders, chant that victory is "just around the corner" which only further's ZioBushCo's bloody endeavor. Well, it turns out that All Old Right's original post was prophetic in that it was only March 10th when the media was rah-rah about the decrease in casualties. Well, I've got news for them......[/I]
[SIZE=5][B]2nd deadliest month for U.S. since war's end[/B][/SIZE] [B]Toll hits 48 for March after death of 5 soldiers in Fallujah[/B] The Associated Press Updated: 12:14 p.m. ET March 31, 2004
WASHINGTON - The burst of violence in Iraq on Wednesday assured that March will be the second-deadliest month for U.S. troops since President Bush declared an end to major combat on May 1.
Five soldiers of the 1st Infantry Division were killed in a roadside bombing west of Baghdad, raising the monthââ¬â¢s death toll to at least 48. The only month with more deaths was November, with 82.

I wonder how the dead mercenaries are being reported as, mercenaries from all over the world are now taking the place of US soldiers in guarding the oil pipes lines going to the Zionist state of Israel.
At this time 250 mercenaries, x special forces from Chile, are being retrained in Ft. Bragg to take their job as security guards in Iraq.
Just today 4 "civilians" were killed and one of them had US dog tags, the reason for this is that members of the US Special Forces are quitting the army and taking jobs as mercenaries in Iraq, a hell of a lot more money for the same job.
There are already mercenaries soldiers from Uruguay and Venezuela, I believe, serving also in Iraq.

Ponce, the 4 burnt corpses that were being dragged around Fallujah today were all mercenaries.
[QUOTE]Contractors worked for security company U.S. officials, who spoke with NBC News on condition of anonymity, said that all four contractors were Americans who worked for Blackwater USA of Moyock, N.C. The company later issued a statement confirming that, but said their identities had not yet been established.
