First We'll Bomb the Journalists
Someone should tell Preznit Cave Smoker that he hasn't got a whole lot of homies in the Middle East, but Qatar (where Al-Jazeera is headquartered) is definitely one of them. And since Tony Blair has now taken the trouble to threaten the Daily Mirror about publishing a British government memo saying PM Poodle talked Dubya out of bombing Al-Jazeera in April of last year, one might reasonably assume such a document exists.
Having "accidentally" bombed Al-Jazeera's Kabul office in 2001 and their Bagdhad offices in 2003, I guess Dubya was going for the hat trick.
Reuters:
Reporters Without Borders said: "We find it hard to believe that President Bush really discussed this possibility.Have you been under a rock for the past five years?
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said: "We are not interested in dignifying something so outlandish and inconceivable with a response."You don't have to launch space shuttles in your spare time to connect the dots on this one. I think it's high time for another gaggle. I'll take Terry Moran in the White House briefing room with a cattle prod.
