NY Times says discount for Petraeus ad was mistake
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The New York Times said on Sunday it made a mistake in charging a discounted rate for printing a political ad that attacked the top U.S. general in Iraq, angering Republicans and drawing charges the newspaper is politicalky biased.
Given the mistake, Moveon.org, the liberal anti-war group that purchased the ad on September 10 — the day Gen. David Petraeus testified to Congress about the war in Iraq — said on Sunday it was willing to pay the full price.

I really don’t think that some of these casualty numbers relative to the SBR’s imperialism are very important or really known all that well.
If over a ten year period in non sanctioned times you have X deaths from some water born disease and then over another ten year period under sanctions you have X + Y deaths from the same disease can you attribute the Y number entirely to the sanctions. ??
In most wars and this was true in Vietnam most of an army ‘s casualties are due to disease and accidents and not to interaction with the enemy.
In any case if you were an Iraqi who lost family members due to previously preventable diseases that were then told that nothing could be done because the medicine needed was unobtainable with the sanctions in effect one would think you would be royally ticked off.
The SBR however routnely does this to its own citizens by politicizing MEDICADE and under funding MEDICARE.. A diseased poor person who can’t work or an elderly person who doesn’t want or can’t work is totally useless to a capitalist and the legal system is to costly to allow the underfunded to seek grievances and routinely ties things up in courts until the plaintiffs die . :yuck: :crap: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :paranoid: :paranoid:
Rude Juliani must also pay the full price.
fred, bad answer.

Monday Morning Freakout. I was watching the start of the Today Show to get a feel for the corporate headlines and they brought on the freak catholic Bill Donohoe along with a dean from Columbia University. They looked identical down to their glasses and suit. The only thing distinct between the two was their demeanor, as Donohoe was his usual frothing self. I know the Today Show does this because of the absurbity factor, but they don’t let on. If they did treat it seriously, then they would challenge Donohoe on his own anti-semitic remarks, and if they were honest they would at least casually remark how the two suits looked like the were long lost twins.
I think the people here deserve facts and honesty, not what you are making up EDIT or projecting and presenting as a fact.
I’m done. You can back edit all you want.
Sorry, everyone.
Well other than the speed of light most “facts” are first order approximations at the best. 😮
It was a “fact” that light was a wave that traveled through an invisable either for about 300 hundred years. :reaper: :reaper:
Hey Web.. re 11 We keep theorizing that rethugs are actually robots.. Perhaps those two guys came off the assembly line in the same batch. 😮 😯

On Sunday talk show, Clinton refuses to commit to full Iraq pullout
The leading Democratic contender for the presidency was asked whether she’d pull out all troops from Iraq in her first term.
She declined.
“You know, I’m not going to get into hypotheticals and make pledges, because I don’t know what I’m going to inherit,” Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, according to the New York Times. “I don’t know and neither do any of us know what will be the situation in the region. How much more aggressive will Iran have become? What will be happening in the Middle East?

Dear Charming Men … aka Dueling Dudes :slap:
Dear Vernon, Give Me what you believe (reported by Americans for American’s “ears”) the “biased”, faux (i.e. mock ) AMERICAN LIES
(i.e. American figures). Repeating: Give me where you got your American Lies? …and whilst I look up the international agencies I heard those figures of Iraqi deaths, counting only a few sources, not even those dying of “radiation” poisoning. (go look in Sederville I believe on Saturday, the “children showing signs after even showing “A FEW YEARS LATER” of the sicknesses — children in hospitals) , and you think with even “blackwaters” “TARGET SHOOTING OF IRAQIS” are counted …
I believe my figures are from International agencies as I said but computer is DEAD SLOW so after Hartman’s show AND I MUST FINISH GARBRGE, for garbage day ….. give me the DAY … but knowing I am a literalist, and I know what I have heard — but you should have at hand the American lies and figures. :tap: A!I!
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will be on C-span2 at 12:00 eastern if you are interested. 😮 :tap:
Vernon, was that good enough? Randi Rhodes said now about an hour
plus (my computer was horrid :spank: ) ago, that 1 MILLION Iraqis have died. Is that good enough? She has just made that statement ON NATIONAL AIR WAVES — 1 MILLION IRAQIS HAVE DIED AT AMERICANS HANDS… If she said that then there are more dead than on regular media. :dancers: of :reaper: A!I!
I must do my garbage now, if there is still time after an hour long to get this bloody computer right … whatever. It “played” me… just I would go downstairs, it would move then the “sites” disappeared. :Silent Scream: and so much more ….. :fustrate:

An article in Reason Magazine, 2002:
http://www.reason.com/news/show/28346.html
I’m not really sure what disagreement there is, ‘cuz I haven’t been following, but I gathered it was something about the deaths due to sanctions in the 1990 – 2003 period.
As might be expected, there are no “hard” numbers, due to the horrible conditions (both due to sanctions, and due to Saddam Hussein) in Iraq.

Druid, only because you tried hard to do some of fred’s work for him, I will return to this.
Since you did not notice, I never came up with any number and have none. The number of Iraqi casualties is horrific. fred pulled out a fatality number (around to 2.6 to 3 million Iraqi’s ..) and I wanted to know where it came from because I was interested using it. I must not have asked for the attribution in time for him to go back and change it. He offered up two links for back up and c&p’d this statement The U.N. embargo has devastated all of life in Iraq. But nowhere is the deprivation more evident than in the once-modern health care system, where sanctions deny doctors the medicine and equipment they need to save patients dying of the curable diseases burgeoning amid the wreckage of war. U.N. officials estimate more than 1 million Iraqis have died in the last decade as a direct result of the sanctions. but his version of the clip somehow showed 2 million.
But fred has answered the question at #10. It really isn’t important to him if he is factual or honest. Sounds familiar.
Now, I’m done. Please don’t waste any more of your time but thanks.
Vernon
Your argument holds almost as much water as the Reichs attacks on Dan Rather for presenting reproduced documents of B*s national guard record. It was not that the documents had to be originals it was what was contained in the documents that counted.
What you are supposed to see is that the SBR through out its history has had a very bad track record when it comes to dealing with people on both the international and national level that are standing between it and its imperialist desires.
Nit picking the numbers is a typical way those who live in denial move to discredit the messenger.
If someone was to deny that we landed on the moon it would be extremely hard to prove that with all the news reel film and artifacts that are around to prove otherwise but someone might present the case that the Saturn V booster could not lift the required weight in which case one would have to find some Boeing engineer to prove otherwise or say “well” the rocket was so over engineered it could routinely exceeded its design specs by 20% …
The fact we got there and back says “so what” and “why should I care” to the argument.
The Reich and a lot of “normal” Amerikans are unwilling to come to grips with why so many people all over the world and at the moment to a much larger extent in Iraq are giving us the finger… The SBR solution has always been to stick a gun in their face and walk all over them.. Terrorism on the other hand allows common people to cause great harm and disruption if they desire .so the old solution is not viable any longer and that drives the neocons up the wall but it may cause them to escalate and escalate again and instead of intimidating half the world they will get us all blown off the planet. :reaper: :reaper:
now, now, children…
if pj has to stop this blog, we’ll all be in big trouble!
besides, i have something really important to say, at least importabt to me. i’ve been feeling really wierd lately, wobbly and unbalanced. saturday, i fell down twice – once rather spectacularly. sunday, i went to the emergency room to have it checked out. i figured it was a TIA = TRANSIENT ISHEMIC ATTACK_ a kind of mini stroke. turns out i have a brain tumor, they’re not sure which kind a gliall cell or a lymphoma tumor. i’m having a biopsy tomorrow or, more likely, wednesday. i’ll know more after the tissue culture is done.
wierd, huh?
Damn, Roxie, that’s pretty scary. FWIW, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
thanks pj!
it was so startling that when the dr told me, i peed my pants. not a totally unusual response for me. i have old-lady bladder, too.
thanks pj!

probably, too much information…
😮 Roxie 😮 😮
yeah fred, you can say that again!
:omg: :omg: :omg: :omg:
So sorry, roxie. Don’t be afraid to ask if you need anything.
I am back — as you know as soon as I start looking, the The Computer says No and FREEZES … it makes me CRY, really, trying to get back here.
I read this so from PJ’s above post… but I am afraid to use, since he is not apart of this “battle” so I do not want to “involve” him … but I need to for this second, since I know not when The Computer will say yes.

Fred, I think heard my desperate lack of Time angst… and my devastation of the MURDERS we AMERICANS have done. AND HOW LONG MY BAD COMPUTER IS. He heard my tears over the annihilation to these sacred and precious children KILLED BY WE AMERICANS.
He was only trying to back up my rather large # numbers … I think Fred had heard similar so he was just agreeing with me of my rather large figures, knowing, and basically backing MY LARGE DEATH :reaper: TOTALS …………… to confirm my sanity.
He, Fred, does not have to PUT UP… it is ME; thus I say this, … there was an media ad with Randi Rhodes at the break around 7:45AM…… did you hear it? It was her saying that a million of Iraqis have died. It will probably replay numerous times… that says the 1 MILLION Iraqis have died several years ago and that is not even talking about the children. And I will not FALL into my tears, no matter If I just see about ONE Bahgdad Children’s Hospital or BLACKWATER vehs driving and shooting Iraqi Citizens. Kiss and make up (trying to make you two laugh – Goblin King demands, “LAUGH!” a) or Shake Hands and have a BEER on me.
I will send further in another way… FRIENDS for you, Vernon, and Fred. I Do Many Actions and Change many things …And Constantly Pray. Sometimes being a passionate, Creative Soul, lil Woman, I break. Sometimes the Amibivalence (mostly regarding other site and C&V maddness) just HAUNTS, as the horrid, arduous deaths :reaper: continue. 40 years worth of protests :reaper: ARREST! IMPEACH! If Everyone Cared …Nickelback
You two Gentlemen are very Special.
Fred, was just letting me know I wasn’t totally alone. PAX

Jeez Roxie, That’s terrible. If it helps, I’ll blame Dick Cheney.

Seriously though if there’s anything we can do, let us know.

Roxie, that’s not good news. Keep us informed about what’s going on and of course, if you need anything, give a (shout) post.
Take good care of yourself
good idea andy!
i’m sure in the long run, it is his fault. anxiety over iran attack, etc, couldn’t help but increase the screwing up of all of our brain chemistry!
I have kept saying that this is bush’s fault, and he should pay for EVERYONE, who did not vote for him, Their Therapy.

Okay it’s official, there are no homosexuals in Iran.
we iranians are not gay, we have never been gay!
we love our husbands and wives!

roxie’s gonna be fine.
Just a reminder if anyone cares, Seder subs for Malloy tonight. I think he will have the SammyCam in effect.
Tomorrow morning at 11 AM EDT, 8 AM PDT click in for the second installment of Maron and Seder vidcast. Tune in early on theSammyCam and see Maron wake up and light his stogie.
Details and links can be found at http://www.samsedershow.com/.
Nothing yet set for the pay per view cage match between fred and me. I refuse to go to Colorado so he can use the high altitude against me and he refuses to come to SF so I can use the high attitude against him. Also he wants to use guns while the armour that I prefer are the moronic tools of ignorance. Whatever. :yawn:
I am amazed that the News Hour tonight has next to no reportage of the Ahmadinejad visit. I am glad Columbia let him speak. Makes me a little proud. Maybe I shoulda stuck it out.
Just the other Tweedy Monday
Crazy day! Hubby’s foot and ankle were so swollen and beginning to turn shades of black and blue so I dropped him at the emergency room about 2PM. He’s still there of course, because that is the way they determine whether an illness is fatal. If you live until they see you, you’ll probably continue to do so.
He called a couple of hours ago to say that they have determined that his heel is broken and I haven’t heard from him since. Finding him in the bowels of Long Island College Hosp is probably not possible so I am waiting to hear what has happened to him.
:fustrate:
and if anyone cares my friend Ann is on here http://www.woodsongs.com/webcast.htm right now. It will be some variations of swing music, I believe.
Wow, Sue, a busted heel? That sounds like it would take a while to get back from. That sucks.
hey, PJ, have you got a malloy link for replay?
Ive got this: http://1480kphx.com/1480kphx.asx
does that look right?
Roxie, I’m thinking about you…it must be very scary…let us know what the Dr’s say.
now I copied the link location and I got this:http://www.novamradio.com/index.php?pid=30
I just want to stream it live into replay…
damn…no one is around…all watching Kieth?
ok…I think I got it
I just retrieved Hubby. It only took 7 hours. His heel is broken in three places but there don’t seem to be any a fragments so no surgery, I hope.
Melina, I’m sure you never pine for the zoo which is the LICH emergency room.
PJ, how are those progressive lenses doing?
SueP, do they put in pins? Is that surgery? Hope he’s OK.
We’ll see the surgeon Thursday. For now we’re hoping that it will heal.
A healed heel!
Roxie,
I hear too many cases of this being benign that I think the odds are greatly in your favor. But to be on the safe side, get second opinions and look for the best possible treatment center. You’ve got the Hutch up there in Seattle, one of the best.
Sammy Cam is firing up right now.
If I’m straight, I can wear them for about five minutes. If I’m wasted, I can wear them a lot longer.
I’m still of the opinion that they suck.
I always stayed next to the Hutch when in Seattle.
WARNING- sports content
When I was a youth in West Virginia I was a stone Cincinnati Reds fan and Fred Hutchinson was the manager.
Sounds like Seder will be subbing for Malloy the week starting Oct. 8.
I am online ROXIE (not screaming just GLEEFUL) Kiss, Kiss, Hug, Hug, :dancers:
I got kicked off again … and Again The CAT Came Back Meow aka ME O Bloody “L” W :smack:
Where’s Roxie? sniff as on a “trail” sniff
here, druid: just catching up!
