"So the British sailors are back."
"One question: whose propaganda machine was more effective?"
"You mean the Iranian or the British?"
"Well, my first reaction to all this was that Poodle came out as the most ungracious idiot in the history of his country."
"That's true. I mean all he could think of was linking the death of his troops in Iraq with some sort of Iranian complicity, troops incidentally stationed by him in that hapless country against the wishes of the majority of the British people."
"The bomb used to kill the British troops was an Iranian..."
"The ammunition used by al Qaeda and the Iraqi insurgents is mainly US and British...what does that mean?" "Thoroughly illogical but that is what happens when one hates so much. Poodle also thanked the Iranian people after the British sailors were released..."
"By this logic next time there are Iraqi casualties due to friendly British fire should they thank the British people?" "The Iranian people who thought their President had won nothing after keeping them for thirteen days and should have got some thing in return..."
"Yep, those people." "Seems Poodle is still too enamoured of Bush - the man who has cost him his job, the man who may negate Poodle's legacy..." "Indeed but coming back to your question of whose propaganda machinery was more effective I would have to say they were both bad."
"But I would have expected the British to be better at this sort of thing than the Iranians - I mean surely..." "The BBC was the only channel that did not challenge the British propaganda at work so to speak in the immediate aftermath of the release of the sailors."
"That's true, even CNN and Sky news did." "Correct. Maybe BBC dopes need an overhaul after all." "Bush's legacy..." "Where does that come in?" "His legacy to the Western media has been the most devastating: we now turn to Arab networks to get the real news." "That certainly is true."
