09/09/2003 Archived Entry: "Northern Iraq is generally stable..."
Northern Iraq is was generally stable...
Bush said this on Sunday:
The north of Iraq is generally stable and is moving forward with reconstruction and self-government. The same trends are evident in the south, despite recent attacks by terrorist groups.
Today in the news:
Saboteurs set off an explosion at a major electricity line serving a water pumping station in northern Iraq, leaving the city of Kirkuk without drinking water, a local official said. "Unknown people blew up a high voltage line at 3:00 pm (1100 GMT), 15 kilometers (nine miles) south of Kirkuk, using an explosive charge," said Abdel Rahman Zenkaneh, head of the city water authority.
Zenkaneh said residents in Kirkuk, which is located 250 kilometres north of the capital Baghdad, would be deprived of drinking water for at least three days.
Electricity to Kirkuk's industrial zone, 10 kilometers (six miles) south of town, was also cut, he added. He did not say when it would be restored.
Is Whistle Ass inadvertently telling the guerillas where to wage their war?
Think the White House will go back and edit that line out of the address? They were willing to edit that 'Mission: Accomplished' bit...

yeah, this is getting downright orwellian, bush has somehow managed to convince americans not to trust their own senses and memories, and instead doublethink their way out of the mental quagmire caused by trying to believe a damn thing they say.
speaking of bush, i just got done writing my complaint letter to showtime about their cowboy bush and the arab boogy men movie: heres a copy, i sugguest everyone write one at http://sho.com/util/custhelp.cfm
heres a copy of mine:
to Matthew Blank, CEO & Chairman, Showtime Networks ,and Jerry Offsay, President, Programming, Showtime Networks,
I am a showtime subscriber. i very much enjoy most of your programming, however, your recent "DC 9/11" movie was extremely offensive. first of all, a dramatization of 9/11 is offensive in itself, and in very poor taste, you are profiteering on the deaths of thousands of americans. this movie however was offensive for other reasons. it should have been preceeded by a disclaimer, exposing it for the complete work of fiction that it was. Bush knew about 9/11 before it happened and did nothing. there is real documented evidence of this. just watch the Booker Elementary film clip. your company, and others like you will go down in history just as the Nazi propogandists who profited from the Reichstag fire. your entire company (whos entertainment i once really enjoyed) has now been tainted by this sickening piece of republican propaganda. how much did the bush regime pay you to make this movie? its remarkable that anyone could possibly believe that bush is the strong decisive leader that your film has made him out to be. after all, he allowed over 3000 people to die to further his political career. how ever much they paid you for your pandering, i hope for your sake that it equals out to your losses in subscription fees. i know that i for one will no longer be watching your programming, which saddens me, because you do show good movies, and sports events. there is a national boycott brewing, and believe me, we can all live without one television channel, you are just one of over 200 channels available, im sure there is something else we could watch instead of showtime . NOTHING SHORT OF A COMPLETE RETRACTION, AND APOLOGY WILL CAUSE ME TO AGAIN PAY FOR YOUR PROGRAMMING!!!!!!!
sincerely,
Justin McCormack, a former viewer

Justin,
I suspect that you won't be invited to the Showtime office X'mas party this December. Better make alternate plans.
I'm too poor to afford any of those "premium" channels so I guess I'll never get to see this "Citizen Kane" of cable.

im too poor to afford showtime too, like i said, it came with my cable modem, along with HBO, simply because they cannot filter it out and still have a cable modem. im really too poor for a cable modem too, but i have no choice, because dial up kicks you off every 5 minutes (literally) in chicago, and that is if you can get a connection to begin with. but like i said, showtime doesnt have to know that...

By giving speeches he's only aiding and abetting the terrorists. Where's Ann Coulter and her inside out logic when you need her?
