Three reports from three networks based in different countries:

  • MSNBC (U.S.) – Low poll numbers for Bush on approval of Iraq war. Latest tallies of today’s violence.
  • BBC (U.K.) – More in-depth reporting on bombings in Baghdad earlier this morning.
  • Al Alam TV (Iran) – While American leaders have mostly blamed the bombing of the “golden dome” mosque on “terrorists”, this report looks at suspicions from the “Shi’ite street” that American occupation forces should share some of the blame.

Please note that views expressed in the video are those of the broadcasters. We invite viewers to evaluate the material and make their own conclusions.

  1. Let freedom reign…
    no….wait…
    Let freedom wring…
    no…wait…
    Let freedom rain…
    no, that’s not it….

  2. Let the hand of the Free Market dispense freedom.. it knows the best and cheapest way to do it..

  3. Jo, these neo-cons are closer to the Red Chinese or Stalinists, than they are to anything that comes even close to the Democracy we once knew
    A bunch of phonies (false profits) is what they are
    (not prophets either)

  4. They are after Conyers because he speaks up. They have been trying to find something- anything- to get him for some time now. Lou Dobbs is next.
    Conyers should give apologies for having a staffer tutor his kids or get his coffee or whatever. (If the allegation is true)
    And everyone else on capitol hill should stop doing it ( on all sides).
    OK now back to Bush’s crimes against humanity and treason.

  5. HOLY TOLEDO!! This is looking very grim…

    At Least 30 Killed in New Iraq Violence
    By SAMEER N. YACOUB, Associated Press Writer

    Iraqi children look at Tuesday’s explosion site in Baghdad, …
    BAGHDAD, Iraq – Bombings in Baghdad killed 26 people and four others died when mortar rounds slammed into their homes in a nearby town Wednesday, the second day of surging violence after authorities lifted a curfew that briefly calmed sectarian attacks.

  6. This being the 3rd thread that I"ve seen with moron-boys posting of the article, I say we just ignore it from here on out. Brad should/will delete them and ban the moron soon enough (I hope).

  7. #10 I agree. This thread is about the mess Bush has created in Iraq and all the innocent people who are dying because of his ineptitude. What is the president going to do now to stop this violence and bring democracy and peace to this country he has totally screwed up?

  8. Well, Jo.. he said "he won’t cut and run" on Democracy in Afganastan, just today.. I guess he’s gonna do more of the same.. kill U.S. troops and foriegn civilians, piss off the masses over there so they are open to joining terrorists groups, piss away billions of our tax dollars (but not by making sure the armour the troops needs is gotten to them.. no, it will disappear into the ether in the hands of contractors). More of the same crap.. And the results will be more of the same as well.. more instability in the region, more rallying -against- the U.S., more terrorists being born.. etc etc..

  9. The taxpayers were lied to and forced to spend billions upon billions of dollars to:

    1) invade a nation that was not any threat to us

    2) weaken our national guard presence so we are victimized by natural disaster like Katrina

    3) occupya nation that is not any threat to us

    4) cause a civil war in that nation

    5) inspire increased terrorism

    And the latest "solution" is to allow foreign nations that have supported terrorism in the past to "watch our back at home" and take over our largest ports …

    What incredible incompetence …
