Default Events in the middle east you wont see in mainstream media

If you needed any more proof that the mainstream media is anti-US, pro-Islamic terrorism, here are two items:

1. Syria, until recently, had a very active nuclear weapons program. I say until recently because the Israeli air force launched a raid in which they first totally knocked out Syria's radar defense system, Syria's communication system, and Syria's command and control center's electronics. The Syrians had no clue what was happening until the nuclear facilities were obliterated. This mission was reported nowhere in the mainstream media.

2. The Saudi royal family is finally going to move against the Wahabi. US special forces and CIA will assist in the attacks which will take place between now and new years.

Why would they not report on such important events?

Because you don't report special operations to the 5 o'clock news. Especially when your going to destroy a nuclear facility.

Do you really want the terrorists to know that you destroyed their nukes? That will provoke attacks on civilians like London and Madrid.

I think the Syrians already know that their nuclear facilities were destroyed.

I was referring to Al Qaeda and other islamic fanatics; not the Syrian government. Don't forget that these people get angry from cartoons

This event was all over the Arab language press. Syria is an al-Qeda sponsor. Don't you think Syria already told its allies what happened?

The cartoon thing was an excuse. Those nutjobs are perpetually angry. NOTHING that happens will make them less angry. We need to stop worrying about offending these animals. I WANT them to be offended by things I say and do. My brother is in the mideast right now offending the shit out of the cowards.

Syria isn't ging to say anything because they don't want to look weak. If Syria isn't going to say anything, Israel isn't going to say anything because they don't want to be accused of being an agressor

This is not specifically towards curious it's just a statement I have heard so many people make of many races and worse yet SOCIAL CLASSES... I had a dispute with an African-American << and I say that becaus black people aren't really black<< about using the term animals to refer to other groups of people...

Part of our conversation.. Watching a news clip about the IRAQ war... The clip showed a family's home getting hit accidentally by a bomb wiping out everyone but the mother who was standing there screaming and crying... Then it showed another clip of kids throwing things at soliders...
Afro-American "Look at those animals... Why do they act like such savages??"
SW10 "It might have something to do with the fact that they are losing family members and are a little pissed..?" Why is it ok for you to label them animals and not ok for anyone to label you a ******? If they were to watch new clips of how the news puts it... (black man shoots man for a pair of shoes) then is it ok for them to consider you something WORSE then a ******.. AN ANIMAL!!!" This is 100x's worse then what happened in the US 300 years ago because this time the African-American is contributing and it's not just forced labor but genocide...

He understood my point and not to my surprise... I have realized that it is MUCH easier to explain points like this to African-Americans then to whites in general.. I think it's because they can comprehend what it is like to be look at in that manner... What is most sick is when I hear people who have more money refer to people as animals who have less money or so called education... Who gives anyone the right to be human and another to be an animal or viewed as an animal because they have less money..?

Finally I have found that African-Americans are MUCH MUCH more honest then White Amercians and I believe it is because White Americans are more worried about being "politically correct" and will not tell you what's really on their mind... All that means is they really don't want to look bad by telling you what they really think...

This is one reason why I have lost all faith in human beings as a whole and "I THINK" it says somewhere in the holly books that Satan was kicked out because he thought humans were nothing more then the dirt they were created from and would not except them as GOD's creation or some sh*t like that... I am beginning to think he is right...

now mainstream media is anti-us and pro islam?

that's funny since they sold the war (no wmd), hid the torture stories as long as possible, talk about muslims as creatures, etc.

why does the rest of the world hate the u.s. and israel?
it's not because our media brainwashes us into liking the muslims. kind of the other way around...

given a completely open mind on the situation, who is the bad guy?
the ones raising their families in the middle east and minding their own business?
or the ones killing indiscriminately and calling innocent men, women, and children "terrorists" "insurgents" "al-qaeda" or whatever other made up word we have to group together millions of innocent families.

I think he did mean it the other way actually as I read through his posts.. I'm not sure but I think so...

Anyone see this lastest G.W. Bush (Shams boy) quote..?

"One of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror.." G.W. Bush

That's why he's my boy because he is one of the most honest presidents we have ever had... He slips the truth in alllll the time but people are too dumb to notice...

I was calling these people animals because of their behavior, not because of the color of their skin or their national origin or for any other reason. If you murder someone because you don't like a cartoon they published, you are an animal. If you show solidarity with the murderer, you are an animal. If you espouse suicide terrorism you are an animal. If you sympathize with someone who espouses suicide terrorism you are an animal. Need I continue?

The United States does the same thing; all countries kill in the name of so called peace.

Lumping ALL Arabs or ALL muslims into one group is ignorant.
