(Dan Rather's) Report From Triangle Of Death

CBS News ^ | Jan. 26, 2005 | Dan Rather

[Ramonan]

Rather is a good reason that the troops call reporters " roaches".

[Congressman Billybob]

Based on this almost-honest report from Dan Rather, I'd say j\keep him as an embed. One of two things will happen.

His reporting will become honest. Or he will get blown away. Either way, the American press drastically improves.

I didn't know they had Kinkos in Baghdad........

"Are we going to miss our guys that we lost? You are damned right, because when we are old and gray, sitting down in the soldier's, sailor's home, those guys are still going to be young. We are going to have gray hair, and we are going to think about them, just the way they were, and we are going to miss them."

The heart and soul of soldiering.

But Johnson doesn’t think that story is getting out. Neither does Sgt. Lewis. "I am tired of hearing the crap," says Lewis. "The whole, well, 'We are barely hanging on, we're losing, the insurgency is growing.' All that. We are doing fine. It's just a small, a small amount of people out there causing the problems. I mean, it is a small number, and we’re killing them."

This paragraph will be edited out in the next update to make way for a paragraph with news of the next sniper/mortar attack on US troops.

I flipped on the alphabets, all the news was negative about the election, they threw in a few positives interviews and comments here and there but for the most part you feel like even if the Iraqi people win, they lose. I'm back to FOX now.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Pretty sad that a single Dan Rather report has almost as much positive news about Iraq as a week's worth of Fox News Channel coverage.

Yeah, FNC as a whole is great and helps to add balance, but in covering Iraq they are almost as bad as all the other Dem propaganda outlets, er, media channels. At least 90% negative on FNC, just like the rest of them. Totally inexcusable.

[PhiKapMom]

ROFLOL!!! You are a wise man!

[EllaMinnow]

I like the way you think!

[boxerblues]

CBS may edited it out the next round but its out in blog heaven Rather in Iraq

NEVER FORGET



DAN RATHER & WALTER CRONKITE also misreported our Fight for Freedom during the Vietnam War. And so it was lost.


And yet...


Liberal Los Angeles Times Media "Critic" DAVID SHAW is still telling us that:


RATHER's work 'Shoddy, Slipshod' not LIBERAL..?

(Dan Rather's) Report From Triangle Of Death:

Blather is a talented guy. I bet if he tried really hard he could write non-fiction.....

[TYVets]

I am sure Dan will be fair and balanced.

"When one of these Marines comes up to you and says, 'I am glad to be here. I am a Marine to the core. But tell me, is it worth it?' What do you tell them," asks Rather.

So, did this actually happen, or is Mister Rather, uh...well, forging an interview?

It's a tad ironic that Rather is with the Marines. Years ago, if memory serves, he washed out of Marine basic. Might this not be an explanation of his hatred of the U.S. Military?

[mdittmar]

dan rather can kiss my ass!

[Pompah]

Indeed. Brings to mind : "They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old. Age shall not weary them,nor the years condem. At the going down of the sun,and in the morning We will remember them."

[RobbyS]

They know diddly squat about what happens out of sight of their hotel rooms.
