Over 100 Dead in Russian Hostage Standoff

And it's not over yet.

Remember: Michael Moore says this is a "fictitious threat." Zetetic adds that Michael Moore's feet could be "fictititious," for all he knows.

Edited to phrase the sentence about the fictitious threat more sensitively. Sorry if I sounded callous about children's deaths. I'm not. I'm just "sickened" that we are repeatedly told that that terrorism is a fictititious issue designed to "distract" us from more important things, like repealing Bush's tax cuts.

I don't know how the slaughter of innocents and fighting those who butcher children is ever a less important issue than anything else.

There's an old joke that liberals love "the masses" but hate actual people. Every time they minimize the deaths of innocent people, claiming such deaths are merely a "distraction" from some abstract political goal, they prove that humor is rooted in reality.

More... from Curbside Prophet.

What do you mean the children are fictitious?

Posted by: Big E on September 3, 2004 12:01 PM

I'm being sarcastic. Michael Moore claims that this is a "fictitious war" fought against a "fictitious threat."

Those bodies are pretty real.

Michael Moore's feet could be fictitious for all he knows.

Posted by: zetetic on September 3, 2004 12:07 PM

Witty, zetetic.
The russians are saying that 10 of the killed terrorists are Arabs. How this whole thing went down is awful.
I think they probably meant to kill everyone in that school anyway. This whole standoff was to get some more news cameras gathered around before they did it, and giving them time to install their bombs.

Sad, very sad. When will the "moderate" Muslims start condemning these acts? And if not, when will Bush dump Norm Mineta and get some profiling going? November 3rd?

As a mother there is NO greater nightmare than this. already paranoid after 9/11 (and prior if i am honest) makes me want to homeschool sometimes.

But yes, ask hollywood, this is all theater from the Bush Administration.

btw.... on a lighter note, you need a top ten about kerry's meltdown.

Posted by: Jennifer on September 3, 2004 01:39 PM

John Kerry is on record saying the threat of terrorism is hyped by the Bush Administration. This he said one week before the March 11th train bombings in Madrid, Spain.

Now we have 1,200 hostages and perhaps a hundred dead children.

Guess it's a fluke...

The pictures at Getty or from ITAS just hit you in the gut. Don't people understand how easily that could be an American school or mall? Some links here.
