Another Pail of Water

I've noticed, also, how, in your excuse for not covering the war (i.e., that it gives the terrorists publicity), you've fallen prey to yet another neoconservative bromide - namely, that it's terrorism we're fighting over there (conflating Iraq with the "war" on terrorism). I mean, come on, Bill. Any journalist whose head is even half-way indisposed from his rectum knows that Al Qeada comprises only a small fraction of the conflict over there. The vast majority of the violence is intra and intersectional war; Sunni on Shia, Shia on Sunni, Sunni on Sunni, etc. - a civil war on steroids, in other words, with U.S. troops being stuck in the middle of it. Just how it plays out on American television, I don't think it weighs heavily upon them. Hell, who knows, maybe they DON"T want the war on television. This, I'm saying, in that, think about it, they (the Sunni insurgents, in particular) probably want to keep us there - as a counterweight to the Shia militias and, yes, to kill us frigging Americans, too, for Christ!!.................There, now how was that for some twisted/ paranoid/ convoluted reasoning. Almost have to admire me for it, don't you, Mr. Bill O'Reilly?
