MSNBC's Tucker Carlson, reporting from Haifa, looking and sounding like a college freshman nine beers into his first frat kegger, is babbling about the "invasion" of Lebanon that's coming "probably tonight."
Nope, I'm not one bit impressed with the carnival sideshow the cable news networks are making of this war.
Bring on Cybil the Soothsayer!
You have a stronger stomach than I do. I will not watch "Tucker the .......".
ReplyDeleteSo... do you think the Israelis are preparing the films for the upcoming "Shock and Awe?"
Iraq has truly been a gift for the right-wingers in Israel.
Lebanon is probably a nice relief (for the newz providers in the US) from the realities in Iraq.
Just throwing this out there...does anyone think this whole conflict is an engineered ploy? I have a feeling the good old U.S. is getting ready to attack Syria and Iran. Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteNunya and anyonymous,
ReplyDeleteI don't know what's going on, though I probably have a better idea than the likes of Tucker Carlson do.
We'll see what the morning news brings.
Y dont the US government get it over and done with - declare war on the whole of the middle east, esp those with oil. Then it'll b done with.
ReplyDeleteWhats annoying me the most is how they r side-stepping all the time; and treating us like we r stupid.
I dunno - mayb I am.
And what does Simmons call what he's doing? Counter-psyops?

ReplyDeleteYes, I truly feel that our own government could have set this whole thing up. Makes the whole Syriana movie be more like non-fiction. If you all think I have my tin foil hat on to tight let me know.
A Syriana scenario? Who knokws, but can you completely dismiss the possibility?
