Jen Griffin is usually pretty credible, while "The Post Millenial" has a tweet advertising MyPillows a couple posts down from the helicopter one...

More poof that "invade the world, invite the world" is a disaster.

The Neo-Cons and the Bush Republicans should be expelled from the GOP forever.

The Iraq war went on for 8 long years. Cost the lives of 5,000 Coalition soldiers and 40,000 wounded. It cost at least $1.9 trillion. And somewhere between 200,000-1 Million Iraqis died.

What a disaster in terms of money, lives, and honor.

So, if Mr. Pillow ran an advertisement on Ms. Griffin's page, then she loses credibility in your eyes? Makes a lot of sense, bro.

Well said.

20 years of post-9/11 wars have cost the U.S. an estimated $8 trillion and have killed more than 900,000 people.

Given the way the federal government lies? That has nothing to do with a pillow advertisment.

Maybe it was a toughee for you. I don't trust the original source which is the State Department.

Specifically the tweet was about how MyPillow got "cancelled", and said that true believers could purchase them directly from the MyPillow website. Not a banner ad on their page mind you, but a tweet posted by the actual account. A supposed news account, telling people to purchase MyPillows, owned by super Trumpy/Q-Anon freak Mike Lindell...

Perhaps they have a MyPillow, found it to be a fantastic product thus worthy of advocating for those in the pillow purchasing market, and don't make all their commercial product purchases based on the political leanings of the company CEO. You know, like normal people?

I ordered the towels. They are fantastic products that if you hold them up to a blacklight reveal the written words of Rush Limbaugh.

Have a couple pillows and the slippers. Both great products. Democrats love crackheads who assault underage hookers, not former crackheads who employ others and produce.
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

I put mine on an old turntable and played them backwards so I could hear the secret messages.

All kidding aside, Jennifer Griffin is not saying the report of evacuation is false, she is simply reporting what the State Department is saying.

You have to be really incompetent to not know which is more likely to be true.

The helicopter appears to have landed NEAR the Embassy but not IN the Embassy.

The Embassy had already (late last year) issued an order for departure of dependents and non-essentials, and closed the Consulate. That does not exactly leave a "skeleton crew. That requires a second ordered departure of non-essentials, which I cannot find evidence has happened.

It is normal in political unrest to have Embassy employees stay home. Not that the homes are more secure than embassy but rather the transiting of the city poses undue risk of getting caught up in a fauda. That said, given that this is Baghdad we're talking about, would suspect a high percentage of US personnel live in the Green Zone (where this helo landed) for obvious reasons.

Find the flattops and you'll get an idea of how situation is being assessed in WDC. The Navy will probably have the evac mission here.

If you aren't capable of analyzing a variety of sources, even independent of any State Department statements, to determine the likelihood of something like the evacuation of a U.S. embassy, you just aren't very competent.

I suspect Dan Rather saw what he wanted to see. It took a very short time for someone to debunk it.

Given the way the federal government lies? That has nothing to do with a pillow advertisment.
The question was pretty clear. Why do you not answer?


Maybe it was a toughee for you. I don't trust the original source which is the State Department.
I don't want to put words in your mouth. Which report do you think is more likely true?

a. The United States Embassy in Baghdad was evacuated today, or
b. The United States Embassy in Baghdad was not evacuated today.


I don't know. But I do know that the accuracy or lack thereof has nothing to do with the placement of a pillow advertisment.


You have to be really incompetent to not know which is more likely to be true.
No, you don't have to be incompetent to not trust our State Department.


I didn't say anything about trusting the State Department. You have to be incompetent to not know which is more likely even if you didn't have any information from the State Department.
Ummm, no. But keep barking at the moon.


If you aren't capable of analyzing a variety of sources, even independent of any State Department statements, to determine the likelihood of something like the evacuation of a U.S. embassy, you just aren't very competent.
If you are not capable of analyzing a variety of sources, even independent memos allegedly from a national guard officer in 1973, to determine the truthfulness of a politically significant allegation, then you are just not very competent. Or the news media gets it wrong or worse.

If you are not capable of analyzing a variety of sources, even dossiers authored by an ostensibly disinterested foreign intelligence officer, to determine the truthfulness of a politically significant allegation, then you are just not very competent. Or the news media and our government gets it wrong or worse.


And?
I suspect Dan Rather saw what he wanted to see. It took a very short time for someone to debunk it.
I suspect you see what you want to see. And then name call when people don't agree with you.

Jen Griffin is usually pretty credible, while "The Post Millenial" has a tweet advertising MyPillows a couple posts down from the helicopter one...
So, if Mr. Pillow ran an advertisement on Ms. Griffin's page, then she loses credibility in your eyes? Makes a lot of sense, bro.
Which of the two reports do you believe is more likely true?

I said you were incompetent if you could not tell whether it was more likely than not, on a particular day, that the US embassy in Iraq had, in fact, been evacuated. It is what it is. It isn't a matter of agreeing with me or not. A competent individual should have no problem determining whether it is more likely than not that the US embassy had been evacuated. The fact that you say you don't know shows you are incompetent.
