Let's see what's up on Aljazeera today...

Iraq reopens Vietnam wounds
PTSD disability-compensation cases have increased with noticeable percentage since the outbreak of Iraq war more than three years ago.

Ok, I'll bite, what does an increase in injury rates have to do with Vietnam? The increase is in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in in the Vietnam Vets. It seems that the Nam vets are having flashbacks triggered by images from Iraq. Interesting. If you're a nerd that studies stats that is... Why is it up on AJ's main page? Well, it gives them a convient location to place quotes like this:

Like Vietnam War, the controversy sparked by Iraq war and the lies presented by the American President to justify invading the country, split the American to supporters and war critics.

Numerous analysts drew up comparison between Iraq and Vietnam, citing obvious strategic and tactical similarities between the two wars, suggesting that Bush's war on Iraq is turning into another Vietnam.

Hmmmmm..... Sounds like a Quagmire to me... Not!

Now, what else have we got...

Israel twisting facts to cover up Palestinian killings
The next step is that Israel will try to convince the public that its findings exonerate the army from the beach killings.

No, the next step is that the Palestininas will try to convince the public that the JOOOOOOOOOS are killing indiscriminately. Next?

Why is the U.S.-UK war on Iraq illegal? Iraq posed no threat to any country, and its violations of the United Nations Security Council resolutions are simply technical.

Heheh... Yeah, Iraq was in defiance of the UN resolutions and yeah, the US and coalition forces were"technially" legally entitled to invade but they shouldn't have because those Iraqi's are all basically good guys...

Oh look, they've got a section titled "Conspiracies". Lets see what's in there...

A bomb attack or Marines’ fists killed Al Zarqawi?
Challenging what circulating news reports suggested about the death of the alleged Al Qaeda leader in Iraq, Abu Musab Al Zarqawi, Tunisia's Hebdo quoted an eye witness as saying that the man wasn’t killed in a U.S. bomb attack, but was beaten to death by American Marines.

Sweet. Someone needs to put those Marines in for some sort of commendation. What's next...

Guantanamo detainees didn’t commit suicide- They were subject to torture

A few days ago, the American President George W. Bush was quoted as saying that he would like to close the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, "but I also recognize that we're holding some people there that are darn dangerous, and that we better have a plan to deal with them in our courts."

But the fact of the matter is that “some darn dangerous people” are running the prison camp and the White House, and that’s why we had Guantanamo back on news headlines over the past week.

Right. And we should buy into this bunk because why?

I think I just got the lib-left figured out. They're all getting their news from Aljazeera...
