So if someone could provide a link beyond just a jpg on a blank page, we might actually have something to discuss, or at least a confirmation of sorts.

Good point. It's a random jpg that could have been made by a 15yr old in Iowa for all we know.

Ornery, you're going to have to start relating your posts to some kind of point.

Why would a 15yr old in Iowa make up propaganda for Iraq?

Why would a 15yr old in Iowa make up propaganda for Iraq?

Why would a John Walker go fight for the taliban?

Perhaps the purpose wasn't "for Iraq", but for flaming or as a form of Satire of the Mideast Press? Who knows, so far the source of the jpg is an unknown.

He did? The stories I read were that he did not go to the ME to join the Taliban. He fell into their clutches after he was there.

Somewhat of a difference than a 15 yr. old in Iowa isn't it?

Christ! Are you fvcking dense or what?

etech wants to know if there's "a deliberate misinformation campaign being waged?"

I say no, "It's just the exercise of private citizen's right to freedom of speech."

I also say you and that particular bitch, loud mouth are cut from the same cloth.

sandorski prefers to think of this as "free thinking". The rest of us have another name for that !@#%!

There were stories to the contrary as well, didn't you hear? The point is that you and Ornery see a jpg and assume that it must be Iraq made propaganda. What basis do you have for that assumption? There's many other possibilities.

That's why it really has no relevance unless we know the source of the picture. You can see that right?

Are you fvcking dense or what? I asked you the same question a couple times and you just keep ignoring it.

I'll just say you and Jeffrey Dahmer are cut from the same cloth without any point or reason behind my words like you do. It's just as rational as your blathering.

Make some sort of point sometime here.

Where did I ever say that it was an Iraqi conspiracy?

I think it has relevance no matter where it came from. It is just one more small part of a puzzle that has been growing for quite some time.

Where did the story about that 4000 Jews did not go to work in the WTC on 9/11 start?
Where did the story that it wasn't a plane that crashed into the Pentagon start?
Where did the story that the US shot down the airplane that crashed in Penn. start?
Where did the story that the Mossad was behind the acts of 9/11 start?

Now those are just a small sample of the deliberate? misinformation that has been spread. I don't know who started them but I would like to. Do you know?

Etech: Guilty until proven innocent? Guilt by association? Without association being made I might add. Sandorski don't play dat. I won't respond further until a Source is revealed.

Ornery: Innuendo and Anti-Patriot catcalls are pathetic, Sandorski don't play that either.

For all I know Ornery made it so he could make drunken pointless insults about hollywood, cloth, and ilk. The relevance changes significantly whether Ornery made the pic, the kid in Iowa, The Iraqi's, the Bush administration, it's a real pic of what inspector's found, or the French made it.

I don't find it very interesting or worth much thought without knowing where it came from.

Sandorski, you seem to have a reading comprehension problem.

I did not say anyone was guilty. I did not accuse anyone. I was merely speculation on the possibility of a managed program of misinformation. There seems to be such a mass of it out there that it seems unlikely to be just a random occurrence. But you are correct, all I have are suspicions without any proof.

I'll take my tin-foil hat off for now, well until I see the next completely BS ?factsheet? posted by a Saddam or OBL fan.

If you really want the source I'll pm it to you. It was found orgrinally on a different message board by one of the more ardent ME posters there.

What's so secret about the source?
