I Just Saw the most incredible PSA or "ad".

[DawnCt1]

Dawn--was this an ad, or was this part of a story?

I am only asking--b/c you mentioned earlier about the Kurds getting to see this commerical/PSA.

It was aired as a PSA. It was a 30 second or so spot.

Furthermore white phosphorus is not even a chemical weapon but an incendiary bomb that is used to create fire.

Actually, when used DIRECTLY on humans, it is considered a chemical weapon.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

thx, dawn.

 

[gigglesnort]

I'm still waiting for the answer to the question of how this became the reason why we went to war?

It is never used as a chemical weapon.

I have no idea who paid for the spot. If its a PSA the only costs are production costs. I don't see why it matters if it reflects the sentiment of the Kurds.

If it wasn't paid for by the "Liberation of Kurds" or "the Kurds Republic" then how do you KNOW that it reflects the sentiment of the Kurds?

If the PSA or commercial is paid for by "The Republican Campaign" or "The Swiftboat Vets for Truth" or even "The Liberal Democrat" then NO, more then likely it does not represent the true feelings of the Kurds.

So that is why it matters - anyone with common sense would realize that.

Get your comfy chair and a pillow, the wait could be long.

Maybe not in CT, but the italian reporters that where in Fallujah say otherwise.

So what is YOUR solution? Would you like to surrender and turn it over to the terrorists? Sounds like the Kerry plan.

Surrender? To whom? I definitely think we should and could start packing our bags. I thought we'd already turned over sovereignty to the Iraqis last year.

Oh, and if anyone wants to see the thank you from Kurdistan, you'll find it here:

The Bush Administration just came in 1% point lower on a NBC/WSJ today. Fire up the propaganda machine quick!!! More teary commercials, more knee jerk flag waving, and more pitying those who disagree with the war!! Maybe we could land the President on an aircraft carrier again, or find another statue of Saddam to pull down...how about another "stay the course" soundbite? That'll do it!!

The source for this was indeed questionable. Furthermore white phosphorus is not even a chemical weapon but an incendiary bomb that is used to create fire. Falugia was a terrorist strong hold and women and children were ordered to leave. Those left behind knew that an attack on Falugia would soon be coming.
The only white phosphorus used in Falugia was star burst.

If you are trying to interview for the blind mouthpiece position that Anne Coulter recently vacated (even she is now questioning the war and this administration), let's at least get Fallujah correct, ok?

Tying in phospherus chemical weapon lead me to some pretty disturbing pictures and reports.Of course most of them were from Arab web-sites,so they probably don't *count*i

Aaaaaflac!

Thank you - now I will end up going to sleep and dreaming about Gilbert Godfrey, ducks and the President all warm and fuzzy. Oh wait - that would be a nightmare

 

[KimR]

Did you get mine?

I'm sure Dawn did, she seems like a very smart woman.

Just taking the passive road tonight, I ate falafels today and now I'm stuffed and tired.

OK, this is too weird and I don't mean to highjack this thread or anything, but WTH is falafel??!! The reason I ask is that this is the 2nd time today I've come across this word and I have never heard of it before!

Falafel is good. I especially like it with a side of hummus.
