They’re investigating how Arafat funds terror. I’m in shock.
ANOTHER IRAQI BLOGGER: They’re springing up all over. This new one writes:
Many people ask whether we have heard the President’s speech. Yes we have. Immediately the Chorus of AlJazeera, Al Arabiya, etc. and amazingly, CNN, BBC etc, started their spoiling, doubt-sewing, bitchy insinuations, interviewing this character from Egypt and that “analyst ” from Syria etc. (seldom is an Iraqi asked, or if they find one, a well known former close associate of the Saddam regime or someone like that). Pretending to be objective, pretending to be “balanced”, they try their best to kill the joy that the shining reassuring words bring to our frightened hearts.
I know how you feel, buddy. But just remember what the president said. In a couple decades’ time, maybe everyone will. One thing the blogger gets right: “American public opinion is a matter of life and death to us here, at this particular time.” That’s why some of us are still fighting in a different and far safer way over here as well.
