Wolf Blitzer is annoyed that Iraqis haven't thanked us for invading.
Edited on Sun Dec-04-05 12:33 PM by Tower
Anyone else see Wolf Blitzer's show this morning? I saw him ask three people- Biden, that moron Republican senator who looks like Howdy Doody, and a representative of the Iraqi "government" why there hasn't been some expression of appreciation to the US for all it's done in liberating them from Hussein. He repeatedly asked it and he actually seemed annoyed, like they were ungrateful. In fact, I think he even used the word "ungrateful", in the form of a question, like- "does this seem ungrateful...?"

More and more like Vietnam, eh?

1. The job isn't done yet. That's why we're still there
so why should they thank us before the job is done?

27. HA! That's it.
Edited on Sun Dec-04-05 01:41 PM by Tower
After seeing your video, I see the word "ungrateful" wasn't used after all. I'm going to correct my initial post.

*edit*- dammit, time's expired on editing the post. :(

3. "Dear Mr. Blitzer ,
"On behalf of the country of Iraq, I wish to express my gratitude to your countrymen for totally wrecking my country, its culture and its people. We couldn't have done it without you."

5. open season
on behalf of iraq, i'd also like to thank the american military for declaring open season on innocent civilians and journalists from all over the world. thanks God they murdered the half of my family I didn't like that much.

Saddam was cruel enough to spare them so they could keep annoying me.

14. P.S. Thanks for slaughtering tens of thousands of us.
Also, we didn't need that electricity and running water, anyway. Thanks a bunch! XOXO, Iraq.

4. Maybe he should go over there personally and tell them.
I'm sure that he would be able to talk some sense into them.:eyes:

I agree. Why shouldn't the Iraqis be grateful for suicide bombers and general lawlessness that kill dozens of people every day. For gasoline shortages, and less electricity than they had before the war, for less clean water, and more malnourished children, for random bombings and shootings, and house breakins, and arrests, for torture in U.S. run prisons? Yes, the Iraqis have alot to be grateful to us for, and I just can't understand why this would be.

6. If someone was beating you up, and another guy drove your attacker off,
only to steal your wallet and kick you a few times himself- would you say "thank you"?

I agree with you- it's just such a stupid ass question. I don't know how anyone can function in society AND be stupid enough to think the Iraqi people should be thanking us right now.

7. When I hear the name 'Wolf Blitzer' the word oblivious always comes
into my mind.

First, for the name 'Wolf'.
Second, because he's such a grade-a 24-carat nimrod.

11. there are no thanks forthcoming, for the failure of our 'free press'...
our vaunted & self absorbed '4th estate', to address the most important questions that could have been asked when they were timely to have been asked, and blitzer is very much a part of the problem. having asked no relevant question; previous, then & now, he contributes to the greater lie causing this vast suffering world wide imo of course

12. Thank you for destroying my country? Thank you for killing my husband?
Edited on Sun Dec-04-05 12:56 PM by in_cog_ni_to
Thank you for killing my wife? Thank you for killing my baby? Thank you for contaminating my land and water with DU? Thank you for what? Lesley is such an idiot. Saddam is probably looking pretty damn good to them right about now. How was he any worse than we are? We torture and kill just like he did. We use WMD like he did.... WTF is the difference? and he has the nerve to say they are "ungrateful?" :eyes:

39. yes, I am surprised
or better yet I am still capable of being surprised (though I don't know how much longer that will last).

Confused because he can't imagine why Iraqis haven't thanked us yet? What sort of drugs do you need to take to get that out of touch, or is the answer just money?

29. Yeah, screw them.
We're out of there, ungrateful ingrates!!111!

They had a poor opinion of us before we even got there the second time. Maybe Wolf doesn't remember how we slaughtered their retreating troops in the first Gulf war, but I bet they remember.

People also seem to forget that even before the second war, the sanctions that were imposed on Iraq after the first Gulf war killed about half a million Iraqi people, mainly children. All before Shock and Awe, which caused so many funerals that there were no flowers left over for our troops when they got there.

Use your head Wolf, it's not just a hat rack!

Just a few flowers as a token of their gratitude would have sufficed, but noooo....

36. reminds me of a Randy Newman song...
Political Science

No one likes us-I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them

Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name

Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us
We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo

We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin', too
Boom goes London and boom Paree
More room for you and more room for me

And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free

You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me
They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now
