So, he's better than every other American who's been wounded in Iraq? What has he done to make Iraq better? What is your point?
I never attacked Woodruff. I attacked the media for making him a hero when he's merely an observer, and an inaccurate one at that. Show me not that he's been there. Show me where he's given fair and balanced coverage while he's been there.
He's being made a hero because his victimhood of one of the attacks that happens there every day 'proves' the false media paradigm that we're losing in Iraq.
If he had completed the convoy, found out the police were doing a great job (which they are), and seen for himself that a large part of the success in Iraq is due to U.S. forces training competent soldiers and policemen (which happens every day, day-in, day-out) you wouldn't have heard a damn word about Woodruff's trip through Taji. His own story wouldn't have made his own network's web page, let alone it's national broadcast.
Where am I wrong? I don't wish Woodruff ill, and I, too, pray for his and his cameraman's recovery.
I still don't think he's a hero or should be portrayed as one.
Nobody's calling him a hero.
And we'll just have to wait to hear what his report was, won't we?
