At least 58 Killed in Baghdad Suicide bomber. 'Last Throes' Mr. Cheney?'

Why doesn't the press nail Cheney to the fucking wall over his 'the insurgency is in it's last throes' comment. Lying POS.

5. Thanks, this violence is unbelievable. What a disaster Bush and his

neocon friends have created. All they do is talk about how great things are going while death and suffering spiral out of control.

10. I wonder why there isn't wall to wall coverage.....

24/7 on the news channels? :shrug: This many people killed in a terrorist bombing should be a BIG story! What's that? These were brown skinned Iraqis? Oh, well, business as usual then I'd say. Pass the peas.
Like these people's lives have no meaning. Freaking disgusting! :grr:

11. The world seems very selective in it's outrage. I guess some are more

important than others. I'm sure that's how it is in God's eyes.

8. Try this.

MSNBC says it was a body bomb, not a car bomb... but with about the same result.

My condolences to the victims...

9. They pretty much have.....

I can't complain about them not hitting Cheney over that one. Cheney, Rummy and the rest were parsing that phrase for a couple of weeks, remember? We were told the "final throes" could last up to twelve years. :eyes:

But yeah, they should keep hitting him on it I guess. The "final throes" have been quite numerous this week after taking a few days off last week (not including the London bombings). This will not stop until all American Forces and probably all American corporate interests are gone as well.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! :eyes:

12. Cheney said according to the dictionary "throes"

can still be violent and a military officer suggested "last" can be 10 years. (sarcasm)

14. Well, technically I guess if you say the lifespan of the insurgency is

something like 300 years, I guess 10 years would equal "final throes".

17. Cheney is right.

'Last throes' is often used when describing a dying star..which can be the most violent time of a stars life.

I read this term many times before.

Sorry...:hide:

15. "Failed insurgency", Senator Clinton?

Looks like somebody failed to inform the insurgents.

16. You need to understand something

It's not their fault, somebody else lit the match, it doesn't matter that they spread all that gasoline around.
