I don't know. Sounds fishy. Or perhaps whishy...
Why would real French Journalist's hire a Syrian to drive them around? Why wouldn't they hire a local taxi driver that knows all the roads etc..
Ship the Froggy out....to the Ivory Coast.
You don't read of people driving from Venice to the holy city of Rome, do you? Of course not.
No, and you will never hear that or "the holy city of Jerusalem." Any reporter who wrote than would be accused of "bias." There is something condescending though in the way they describe these "holy" cities. But then political correctness is always condescending.
Waiting to see this on my local MSM news. Today their broadcast started with the latest Iraqi deaths, then the total American death count. No positive news at all.
Didn't we find two fake french reporters today that were actually french intelligence?
Knowing the French, they were probably embedded reporters...for the terrorists. :(
Haven't you heard? They are no longer the "mainstream media". They are now called the "old media".
I think that has a nice ring to it!
By the way, I did hear about this on A.B.S. news today.
You don't read of people driving from Venice to the holy city of Rome, do you? Of course not."
- Of course not. But a slightly altered pronunciation of the letters will give you the proper interpretation of what the reporter really meant.
Read it again, FRiend:
"...theShiitehole y city of Najaf"
There are many such aptly named cities in Iraq. In fact...all of them, according to what a returning soldier told me.
