WAG THE GASSED DOG
Topic: Miscellaneous 6:16 pm EDT, Aug 21, 2002

Oh good grief guys. As this rubbish has already been recommended twice, let me play "Captain Obvious" for you. (Honestly, is this supposed to be a troll???)

1. Propaganda? The comment about "the US sinking to new lows trying to manufacture support for a war nobody but the oil companies wants (SIC)" obviously reveals a left wing political bias on the part of the poster. I assure you that many of the people who lost loved ones on September 11th want a war with Al Qaeda and they aren't oil companies.

2. There are people commenting here who think that the film was supposed to be of Iraq. Please actually read the articles before you accuse them of being propaganda.

3. The fact that your interpretation of Islamic law prohibits animal testing does not mean the videos are fake. Why do I have to explain things like this?

4. The interesting thing about the video is not the fact that "cute puppies" were gassed. The interesting thing about the video is the fact that the organization was attempting to develop chemical weapons. Any arguements about how many puppies the U.S. has killed completely miss the mark. Again, please read the articles in question before arguing that they are propaganda.

5. The fact that you didn't see any dogs like that when you visited a different Arab country thousands of miles away does not mean the videos are fake. Why do I have to explain things like this?

6. The fact that government psy-ops people work at CNN does not mean that the videos are fake. Why do I have to explain things like this?

7. CNN and other news organizations are motivated by money. Sensationalistic footage of cute doggies getting gassed by bad guys is the sort of thing lots of people will pay to see. The motivation here is not propaganda. The motivation is profit. You are seeing this video because you like to see this kind of stuff.

8. CNN refused to show footage of Daniel Pearl getting his head chopped off. This is because even CNN has standards of behavior. If they were "soley motivated by greed" or "soley motivated by the manufacture of consent for a war" I assure you that you would have seen this footage. Left wing absolutisms are stupid.

9. Propaganda often distorts, but it rarely lies. The propaganda is in what facts are shown and what facts are not shown, rather than in what is true and what is false. Read Chomsky, the left's own ring leader, who I presume is held in high esteem by the people who built this website.

It used to be the case that any amount of idiocy on the internet was taken as real and true fact as long as it was right wing in orientation or it had to do with aliens from outer space. Now it is the case that any amount of idiocy on the internet is taken as real and true fact as long as it is left wing in perspective. I'm really getting sick of it. I hope this is just another phase.
