They are grasping at straws....

Their meme is falling apart. Quick! Make something up!

/That's what dan rather would do.

The left is really losing their heads over the success of The Surge.

Just in time for Halloween. Twenty headless ghosts. I say, "Boo."

They are stuck on stupid. This is really getting boring.

Hey, did these 20 guys get death threats from LGF posters too?

This is what you get when reporters watch "Sleepy Hollow" one too many times

Hmmm. And the 6 burning Mosques. And the citizens that were burned alive. And.........Haditha.

Did Reuters report his first? It seems like it. Imagine that.

I see Reuters has already visited once today. Perhaps they'll read this post and retract this wire release now...

/not holding my breath

im getting pretty fed up with the newsreports that arent true and are designed to turn the hearts and minds of america into hating their own country....No good can come from this for the future.

Also, I was watching Dick Morris on Hannity and Colmes last night he was stating that if Hillary gets elected president then we can expect to be taxed higher than 50%...maybe as high as 55 or 60% on our income to pay for everything she wants to do. I dont know about everyone here but I will not stand for that....I barely take home any money from my paycheck right now (40% just disappears) I wont stand for it....Who is with me?

Upcoming Headline:

"US Troops Hide 20 Decapitated Bodies in Baghdad"

re:

Same 'ol, same 'ol. Stringer Jamail calls in story it gets published and facts are checked later. I can't believe it was the BBC who printed the refutation, but as always the damage is already done and the retraction will not gain anywhere near the attention the original fable did. Guess it is just another case of being "Redacted".

re: #6 Dead Sea Squirrel

Hey, did these 20 guys get death threats from LGF posters too?

Last night after I put the kids to bed, I hopped on the RoveHaliburton SR-71 for a quick mission to Iraq. Did the deed and came back in time to get the kids up and go to work.

I don't see dead people.

And it's always 20 bodies - what's with that?

I posted this last night on the Civil War thread : )

Sounds like what Bobby Calvan would write; that is, make it up as you go along.

re: #18 GregInSeattle

I posted this last night on the Civil War thread : )

Did I miss a civil war thread, bummed.

but but but..... It's looked so good on Yahoo's headlines page. doesn't it somehow help Hillary/hurt Bush? Then the lies are okay--- a blessed event.

If you can't find real bad news - invent it or exaggerate it.

Nice.

The media simply is incapable of reporting that the situation in Iraq is improved. That's why they're running bogus stories, old stories, and ones that show that the declining death toll is taking its toll on cemetery workers.

This just in: MSM reports that earth is flat and moon made of cheese, film at eleven.

re:

This is a total cover up!

They found the heads in Texas!

Nice try Rove! Your army of Bushites won't get another Beachamp!

You know, you just have to, you know, follow the bread crumbs, you know, because there's this razor thing, you know, that if you can't, you know, directly blame Bush, you can follow the bread crumbs, and you know, they'll be a connection.

Well, you know, I've followed the crumbs, and you know, it ain't pretty.

First, you know, there's this:

Twenty headless bodies found north of Baghdad

You know, which just sucks. At first, you know, you think "terrorism." But you and I know that, you know, that's just same BS from the man trying to, you know, take away our right to bloody marys.

So then, you know, you read this:

Heads up! Royse City officers find unexpected cargo

And you're like, wait a minute bro! Like, you know, heads go missing in Iraq, and you're like, and they found heads in TEXAS, and HELLO?!? Who was the governor of Texas?

And your like Blackwater needs a place to hide their, you know, like, war trophies, you know, for like war porn masturbation.

So, I'm like here, farting in my chair, thinking, you know, there must be some connection.

So, you know, next time you speak to someone, you know, you can be like:

You know? With the war in Iraq? Where we're killing all the Iraqis? People are getting killed? So like Bush will have oil? These innocent people were like killed by Blackwater? And there heads were flown by unchartered black planes to Texas? Probably to Bush's ranch, because no one would look there? I mean, it so obvious?

It's the truth that gets redacted by the MSM, as always.

By the way, has anyone seen Ron Silver's post at Pajamas Media? It's the best thing I've read in a long time. Sorry if someone's already posted the link.

http://www.pajamasmedia.com/2007/10/how_to_get_the _world_to_like_u.php

Well in the US there are a bunch of People (much more than 20, probably close to 20 million) who behave like they are headless, or at least brainless.

We call them Loonie Liberals. But somehow that doesn't seem to make the news.

So, we shouldn't be so hard, the news isn't that untrue, I am sure that there are at least 20 Iraqis who behave as stupidly as American Liberals and can correctly be described as headless or at least brainless.

Meanwhile, Iraqi police denied earlier reports that 20 headless bodies had been found dumped near Baquba.

/BBC.

Pages and pages and pages and pages all over the world.

Not true?

One sentence in the middle of an article that had nothing to do with the report of the headless bodies.

The MSM and moonbats must be relieved at the good news that the report is false.

/

Did y'all read down further where they rescued 8 of the 10 kidnapped tribal sheiks, and killed 4 of the kidnappers? Cool!

Hey, there was a headline in our local rag about a dam in Mosul about to collapse. Any more word on that?

re:

More horrible news from Iraq...

US death toll in Iraq lower in October (lowest it's been in two years actually)

Ain't modern "Journalism" wonderful? These days any fool can walk down to the corner, buy a paper, read it, and think that they know what is really going on in the world. You can even have the paper delivered to your home, at a discount. There are many fools in the world. The people with power depend on them.

Once more to be clear on a point.

The ones who live in America, and gobble up the milk and honey and have not voted one time and only care about the next end of year stock option sale, they are the problem, the not votes, just do not care, not their problem they say, never was intrested in that crap, I have my family to think about and all that bs.

Purple Ink that will last at least a year, and any one can refuse to sell, rent, purchase from, assist in any way those who do not have the proper finger inked. First time they miss a second time, the state gets 20% of their net worth, third time 50%, fourth time,
100% and they get to start over.

"We the Real People" who are voteing and working to save our liberty, justice and the America way must demand they join, or they need a good banning from commerce.

That is a very sad, but true question. You would think this is what would drive moderate Moslems crazy seeing how their religion has been hijacked by murderers.

Why are any of you surprised? A side note, The AP had a story devoted to the tribal leaders who were kidnapped but included their rescue in a piece about several other stories. Bad news, big story. Successful rescue, one, ONE small paragraph. What a revolting excuse for journalism.

Why bother with real stories like:
"Also on Tuesday, three Palestinians who were planning to perform suicide bombings in Israel were apprehended by Egyptian police, Egyptian authorities anounced."

or:
'Hamas building bunkers near border'

or:
"Two Kassams strike western Negev; no wounded reported"

let's just print made-up stories without checking facts...

I am glad we are able to head off these rumors.

Has anyone seen Dan Rather lately?

The fake stories are . The media has collectively decided that the U.S. armed forces are evil, and consequently, must commit atrocities. If no atrocities are found, they must be created. And voila! Their point has been proven. It all makes sense from a horrible, Orwellian standpoint.

When I enter the title of this BBC story in Yahoo, I can't find it. And when I search the web through Yahoo by entering the title of this BBC story, I can't find it. Yet, I can find it on other search engines. Is Yahoo restricting content?

Well, at least they didn't cover the REAL news that Iraqi soldoers gave $1000 to vicitms of the CA wildfires.

You know, Jesus commended a widow who gave out of her want in comparision to rich people who gave out of their excess.
These Iraqi's did what that widow did.

I presume Scott Beauchamp was the reporter on this story...

Actually, they found 20 stringers from AP wandering in the neighborhood. Since these folks lack minds, they usually lack heads. Its easy to be confused on this topic.

Sad, but true. I read the headline when it first hit. Didn't read the story because I already knew it was bogus. I hate to think how many of my extended family actually rely on the MSM to get a picture of the world.

The mainstream media is going nuts over any successes in Iraq. The editors are screaming, "What, no one was killed in Iraq today. We better throw in one of those 20 headless bodies stories and make it quick!"

I saw this headline the other day -- and I thought right away, "Hmm, let me see the source for this..." Now today, GatewayP makes it clear that these liars in the MSM are desperate...incredible shilling for the left.

All your headless body are belong to us

As soon as I saw it, I knew it was propaganda.

Of course, the MSM took it and ran with it!

Even better, the US is planting sharks in the inland waters of Iraq to prey on the innocent children who may be swimming!

re:

whoops ........thought I was still on the last thread

I'm confused here. Are they saying they have found the 20 headless horsemen? The ones from the legend "The Tales of Sleepy Morlocks" by Washington Moonwing?

What the f---?

Who was it that said the bigger the lie the more people will believe it? Guess they thought that 10 was not enough and decided to double the number.

re:

Maybe it's a translation problem. Maybe the original word used meant "brainless", not headless. In that case, it could refer to locals OR media.

Not to worry. They just had a big hole on the front page too close to press time. They needed to fill in with something negative, didn't they? Otherwise they might have been forced to print something like...

"Violence down in Iraq..."
or
"Civilian deaths down in Iraq..."
or
"Military casualties down in Iraq..."

Or maybe this: "The surge IS WORKING!"

Reporting the truth?  The "mainstream" media isn't interested in the truth -- they're eager to run with enemy propaganda at the drop of a hat.
