OK, I am so disgusted. I turned on CNN to see if they were reporting the uprising and I caught the most offensive segment. It was by one of the embedded reporters and he said(about a firefight with Marines and irregulars) "These men, no matter how well they kill, simply can not be heros in this kind of fight." Then they showed an ambulance pulling up to the enemy side and the d@*khead said "This is a reminder that their guns have no conscience."

I know that is what I get for watching that crap, but that was beyond the pale. To say that our guys can not be heros because they are in an unorthodox fight, that the Irag soldiers started. How disgusting!!!

Sounds like they need to leave him embedded in the desert and let him try to hitch back to the border.

Call CNN and complain and also call every GOP officeholder you have in Washington to complain there as well.

You are correct, that report was absolutely offensive... suggesting a moral equivalence between American forces and the despotic regime of Saddam Hussein.

Despicable.
