(Note: This entry is best suited to be used against the typical Bush supporter who loves to parrot right wing talking points.)
Talking point: Biased media coverage of Iraq. "The media never reports anything good that happens in Iraq!" ::Cry::
When we bomb a country into oblivion and kill thousands of innocent people, why should we care that we've repaired 1% of the damage we've done. Imagine if someone borrows your car and crashes it. Then they bring it back to you the next day. The thing is totalled, but it still moves. Then they say to you, "Look I put new wiper blades on it. I put air in the left front tire too. Why don't you care about all the good things I've done for your car??"
Today I saw a horrible piece of what looks to be total propaganda. Check it out for yourself:

Saddam Hussein is one of history's biggest mass murderers. The blood of a million people is on his hands...
Was it Saddam who imposed the sanctions that lead to most of the untimely deaths in Iraq over the last 20 years? If we cared so damned much about the Iraqi people then why did we allow this government to support Saddam during the Reagan years? And for Christ sakes why did we take out our aggression on the poor people of Iraq? What is the reasoning behind that? "You didn't overthrow him so you all must suffer!"?? If anyone needs to learn that lesson, it is us.
Saddam even used chemical weapons on his own people.
Well if that's a crime then we should bomb ourselves because we've used plenty of chemical weapons on the Iraqi people too. Do I need to show you some pictures? There are hundreds... that I know of. And then there's the gulf war syndrome. Yeah the media only reports the bad news, so it must be AWFUL DAMN GOOD NEWS that so many gulf war veterans are dying.
You'd never know it from our news reports, but our enemy in Iraq IS Al Qaeda...
Oh... my... god.... this is total nonsense. (Insert picture of burning WTC towers.) This is absolutely disgusting. Gee I wonder where 70% of the people got the impression that Saddam = 9/11. I can't watch any more. Argggghhhhh! Every single time they try and make the connection between Iraq and 9/11 they never ever provide any evidence. They just say it is so, and so it must be so. The only connection between Iraq and 9/11 is that our government lied about both, a fact that has been proven a thousand times.
When anyone starts parroting this nonsense, do yourself a favor and don't argue with them. Just point out the original reason we invaded and bombed Iraq into oblivion: Saddam Has Weapons of Mass Distruction. Saddam Has Weapons of Mass Distruction. Saddam Has Weapons of Mass Distruction. Saddam Has Weapons of Mass Distruction.
Sorry, but you can't rewrite history.
