AP Uses Deaths of 10 Marines for Political Spin
AP | 12/03/05 | vanity

Posted on 12/03/2005 12:41:20 PM PST by genefromjersey

Ten of my Marine brothers were killed by an IED -(filmed, by the way,by one of the terrorists,and presented gleefully on al-Jazeera), and this is the way the Associated Press opened their story:

JACKSONVILLE, N.C. - The grim news that a roadside bomb killed 10 Marines in Iraq arrived at Camp Lejeune just days after President Bush outlined his strategy for victory, a speech delivered in the face of increasing calls to bring the troops home.

Have they no shame ?

No they don't. All they have is a political agenda.

No shame, it's pitiful. Good bless all our armed forces and their families.

Some guy I know from a non political group sent me this yesterday:(It really pissed me off)

Titled:
If I die before you wake

I am truly amazed that so many young American troops have; and still are; being killed, in another folly of our current elected officials. Well welcome to the crusades of the 21th century. Please take a moment and pray for all our young people who have been put in harms way.

"Have they no shame?"



None at all that I've been able to detect since 1968.

About all we can do about it is ignore them and vote against the political hacks they're pimping for.

We are a military family. If our boy was one of these Marines, Mom and Dad would be heading to the AP headquarters for starters, and then on to the DNC. Hell would have no fury like this family.

Heck, the TV crew was probably from the Associated Press. They have worked hand in glove with the insurgents, to get the insurgents' message out, from Day One.

AP reporters, photographers, or cameramen participated in the murders of civilian contractors in Fallujah in 2004 (the mutilation of bodies was the AP men's idea, as their own film reveals), the murder of Iraqi election workers, and numerous other crimes.

Their boy Bilal Hussein is a made member of the Ba'athist insurgency and participates in attacks on US forces.

For this, the scumbags in the press at large give them... the pulitzer prize.

d.o.l.

I appreciate your feelings. Sadly AP could care less. It would be no different then if some criminal shot your mom in cold blood for no reason, and you face to face called them a cold blooded killer. They would look at you with glazed eyes and wonder what the hell you where talking about.

Why do we allow al Jazeera (all terrorist, all the time) news to keep this up? We should notify them quietly that the next time they show terrorist propaganda, their HQ will be bombed into oblivion. And we should declare them a terrorist agency and kick their sorry butts out of the US, let alone allowing them to cover news stories here like they're a legitimate network.

ASSociated Press is the worst offender of the LibIdiot Media because they feel the safest. Their "news stories" are carried by everyone including FOX News website.

AP is virtually untouchable. You can't even send them an email to complain. Go ahead and try and post a response to me with a link if I am wrong. I be waiting (forever).
