Things to Make You Go....Hmmmmmmmm

I found this very interesting. I've copied the entire post from Old Fashioned Patriot's blog below the fold, except for the links to the original articles.

Go to Old Fashioned Patriot to check those links.

Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead!
This list isn't all inclusive but I am noticing a pattern here:

Nov 19th - 9 US Soldiers Killed
Nov 20th - al-Zarqawi Dead? Al Qaeda Terrorist Perhaps Killed in Firefight

Nov 16th - 8 US Soldiers Killed
Nov 16th - IRAQ: US MILITARY ANNOUNCES CAPTURE OF KEY AL-QAEDA OFFICER

Nov 2nd - 7 US Soldiers Killed
Nov 3rd - Top Al Qaeda Leader Believed Captured

Sep 28th - 7 US Soldiers Killed
Sep 28th - Al-Qaida chief killed, says Pakistan

There are a number of ways to look at this, I suppose. Could just be several amazing co-ink-i-dinks. It could be the Bush administration manipulating the news in an attempt to turn focus away from a bad story to a "positive" one. Of course, you then have to think about the boy who cried wolf (how many number 3 Al Qaeda leaders are there?). But it most certainly is evidence of the mainstream media publishing whatever Bush/Cheney/Rove tell them to without question or debate. Perhaps that's the saddest part.
