Aaron Brown just almost cried on CNN

They showed children drawings of their impressions of shock and awe.

Houses being bombed, dead bodies in pools of blood, Tigris running red with blood, One image said "Christins, Arabs, TUrks - we all live in Iraq". One image had a girl crying saying "where's my Dad?"

Very touching story about the horrible thing we have done to these people.

It was all Brown could do to keep from blubbering. You could tell his bottom lip was quivering.

but since YOU brought it up . . .

the US invaded a country that was no threat

after bombing its infrastructure for 12 years.

the US is blamed becazuse the US did it.

The Bush administration IS.

he has Svengali eyes . . . . :o

very strong-willed. Also very sweet and lovey.

and what's up with that other cat? A classic love slut. :7

he loves showing his belly and looovvees to be rubbed.

Cats are just too funny...

We invaded a nation that was not a threat..as a result countless civilians were killed and they are now killing us. I think it's pretty clear that no matter how bad Saddam was, average Iraqi's had basic services. I also think it's clear that no matter how murderous Saddam was, we have killed just as many innocent people if not more than he would have killed during the same time frame.

I think it's clear that the Bush administration lied about every major detail to drag us into this war and now it is coming home to roost to companies that are profiting off of this war.

:)

Try 70 years. There is nothing wrong with us becoming a super power let alone the only super power. It show our system of gov't is prevailing. As it should we live in the greatest country in the world. The only problem is our leader is an idiot. It's like having 16 year old girl (no offense to ant 16 year old girls on this site) at the weal of a ferrari.

Ignore spelling I have been at the bar..

How are we the greatest country in the world-especially now when our rights are being taken away, there is the largest gap between rich and poor since the Gilded Age, there are third-world countries with higher literacy rates than the US, 44 million people do not have health insurance, and our Social Security is being decimated?

Please explain to me.

to our ways, trouble follows.

there is an old saying; a good impress upon another becomes an evil.

I guess we as a nation have not learned that lesson.

I drank at home. the beer cheaper, the surroundings familiar, and it is a short crawl to bed.

1. I didn't vote for bush
2. I was against the war in Iraq from the beginning, and wrote letters to my senators, representative, and bush to tell them my displeasure going into Iraq

In fact, if bush wins, and a woman's right to choose is reversed, stem cell research is curtailed, more soldiers die in Iraq, the draft comes back, jobs are offshored, social security and medicare are privitized, and more and more people become uninsured, it is not my fault!

It will be that group of people who have been voting against own interests for at least a decade.

If bush wins, this will be the last election I vote in because it really doesn't matter!!!

That is how I feel about CNN and the whores that feed off of war! This clown Brown is hereby nominated for an Ocar.

And he showed the pictures. Maybe more commentators and so-called journalists will get the same idea.

Report the facts for a change, instead of spin scripts pre-written by the White House. What a concept!

One picture showed bombs falling and a child saying "We are not guilty". I remember thinking at the beginning of "shock and awe" how terrified my own children would be to endure that bombing, and my heart broke for all of the pain we were inflicting on innocents.

I guess they perceived that we were slaughtering them because we said they were responsible for 911. So perceptive. The one thing it made you realize is that they aren't some evil clut members like we were told - they are essentially the same as you and I. The even wear the same western clothing.

And it was an illegal war...

And a totally unjustified war...

And a bungled war...

If Bush had any damned decency at all, he would not run for President in 2004.

And every cocksucker that pimped the war on that channel has the nerve to act as if they are conflicted....unbelieveable.

He's not perfect, but he at least thinks and has a heart.

CNN deleting the anti-chimp portions of Blix's transcripts he told me i was overreacting to a "mistake made by low level web staffers."

When I emailed him about not putting anti-war people on his show he replied that there weren't enough anti-war americans to merit equal time on newsnight.

When I emailed him about inserting into Iowa causus coverage a story about a Dem who plans to vote for bush, he replied that Dems voting for the "popular president" was a "real problem for the D's" (bush was at 50 percent at the time)

When I emailed him about repeating white house lies about the bored kid fiasco he blamed letterman for making a big deal over a "simple miscommunication."

Aaron--or whomever he has answering his emails--is a company man through and through.

South Africa, India, and Brazil formed a club for peace.

Of course, I knew we weren't perfect but I always knew in my heart we were a great country. Now I no longer feel this way. I got an empty pit in my stomach for where this lunatic of a president has taken us! It's disgusting that we have to hear his lies every day and then watch him spin lie after lie at John Kerry about 50cent gas tax!

I'm no longer proud for my country, it has hope, but not with that lunatic psycho ruining everything! I can't wait to vote if anything it will make me feel better.

He took a country which had contributed some pretty good things to the world -- inventions, new ways of thinking, art and literature -- and twisted and warped it so others (and some Americans themselves) associate it with callousness and greed.

As a Canadian, we see a lot of our neighbours to the south, and to be honest it's not always pretty. But Bush and his cronies have made the US a ghastly parody of itself. It's been very painful to watch. Sort of like seeing your best friend from high school marry a loser who steals her money and slaps her around.

After all, this is their war as much as Chimpy's. Lord knows, they ran story after story about the Chimpministration "making the case" for war, discarding and forgetting discredited evidence and eagerly seizing on the newest unproven assertion of Iraqi WMD's.

Gleefully showing the huge explosions of "shock and awe".. trying to pretend that the massive detonations were surely only hurting military targets or empty buildings..the precision is incredible, they told us.

This is YOUR war, Aaron. This is YOUR war, CNN. And may you choke on it.
