I note that the Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Barham Salih is in London today to meet with Tony Blair and others. I heard him interviewed this morning on the uberliberal BBC Radio 5 live and in essence the female interviewer was desperately pursuing a three point agenda;
1. Would the Iraq government talk to Al Qu'eda? (His answer: No)
2. Does the Iraq Government not feel betrayed by George W. Bush? (His answer: No)
3. Can't a date for the complete withdrawal of UK forces be established? (His answer: No)
I'm sure Al Qu'eda Islamofascists must have been delighted by the craven line taken by the BBC quisling. I thought Salih answered honestly and courageously. It must really annoy the BBC and their ilk when these elected Iraqi people speak up against the Al Qu'eda scum killing their fellow citizens and in support of the US/Coalition forces presence.
In a war, sides have to be taken. I think I know where the MSM stands, don't you?
elected Iraqi people
thats debatable. favoured candidates of the west received millions in campaign funds and no doubt assistance in other key areas. the perception of fair elections is so easy to shape. this is a stooge touring the west trying to put a brave iraqi face on policies that are failing his own people and country.

No. It is not "debatable" except in moonbat country. But then that is where they also pretend that 9/11 was a Jooo conspiracy. I notice you drone on that there is no democracy in NI, no democracy in Iraq, presumably you feel Bush "stole" the vote in the States...
Do you miss the good old days of the USSR???

David,
It looks like Al Jazeera agrees with you, or is it the other way around?

Funny how the left would deny the legitimacy of the Iraqi government and the democratic aspirations of the Iraqi people and yet they embrace Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, which even Human Rights Watch cites as a prime violator of basic civil rights in his country.
And as for the lamestream media choosing sides, you might recall what Ted Turner, the founder of CNN said earlier this month: "'...you’re either with us or you’re against us.' And I had a problem with that because I really hadn’t made my mind up yet."
It's pretty clear from the reporting that shows 90% bad news from Iraq and ignores the heroism of both our troops and the Iraqi people that the media, like Ted Turner, has made up it's mind and is on the side of the enemy.
Bascially, the media, like the left, is willing to side with anyone, or anything if they oppose President Bush and American and British leadership.
