Powell: Arab world should be more outraged

Let's see. Conservative webboard poster, conservative radio and the conservative Secretary of State all vainly try to make a point out of nothing. Seeing as there has been a LOT of what you and they say aint there.
Wow. BIG surpise.

Regardless of that. I honestly used to have alot of respect for Powell. I thought he had more intelligence and integrity than Bush, Cheney and Rumsfiled all combined on thier best day. Till he became a "tool" for the Axis of Weasels.

I don't know if anyone watched Meet the Press on Sunday, but there was a very odd occurance. Emily Miller, who is one of Powell's press secretaries tried to shut the interview down early just as Tim Russert was asking a sensitive question:

Her voice is kinda muffled, but as she is knocking the camera away she says:

Emily: No. They can't use it. They're editing it. They (unintelligible).

Transcript

Emily Miller is formerly from Tom Delay's office.

Oh...later on Russert had McCain on and he gave the funniest damn response when he was asked about possibly joining Kerry as his Veep. Watch the wmv and then scroll about 3/4 way down the transcript where Russert says, "it's the elephant in the room". The whole Meet the Press crew was laughing.

LOL. Guess the world would have been satisfied if some Lieutenant apologized for Abu Grahib and the US let it go at that.

I caught McCain's reference to the palm tree on the show but I didn't get the joke because I missed the Powell interview. Too funny.

The myth of Muslim silence with regards to the Berg murder was destroyed in the last thread on this topic. Though I expect nothing less from the average, ignorant O'Club poster, what is Powell's excuse for this grandstanding?

Toad · « **Reply #7 on:** May 17, 2004, 01:15:34 PM »

Righto!

There's yet to be a leading Islamic cleric denounce this from the Mosque.

Lizking · « **Reply #8 on:** May 17, 2004, 01:19:44 PM »

Maybe the media just doesn't want us to know about all the Muslim Leaders that are loudly decrying the incident?

I eagerly await you to demonstrate how you determined this to be true. It must've required quite a lot of work - transcripts of all the words of these mysterious "leading clerics" spoken "from the Mosque," translated into English, and searched for relevant passages.

Or in Toad's case... he couldn't find anything about it on google.

You think Powell was bull****ing?

Nothing as malicious a bull****ting.

I like to think of it as spreading gossip.

Toad · « **Reply #14 on:** May 18, 2004, 12:25:06 AM »

By reading a wide variety of news online, particularly non-US sources.

Of course, you determine that the leading clerics have spoken out against it by the absence of any such reports in the media.
