Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help:

To all who helped this get started, thank you! Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

[muslims=borg]

Like theres an Army manual that calculates that. I wouldn't hire one of these reporters to wash my car, they'd probably screw that up...

[Numbers Guy]

ARGHHHH!!!

These questions are HORRIBLE!!!!

"why did you go to Baghdad so quickly?"

"Because it's there, you MORON"

[Carolina]

Sky breaks away to Jack Straw.

[pitinkie]

Love that guy.

[Carolina]

Go, Jack! Media has to penetrate the fog of war.

[Right_in_Virginia]

This is a "police action"? We should use "stun guns"?? It's clear these reporters spend their time talking only to each other...they've no clue about the reality of this war.

[The Wizard]

perfect analogy

[Carolina]

Jack spanking the media. Mentioning Sky and the Beeb!! How much harder it would be to maintain morale during Dunkirk? So important to maintain for the sake of national survival.

GO, JACK, GO. Tell these mediots!!!

[Sacajaweau]

We're so good at analyzing tapes and voices, a double isn't much good to them right now.

[Peach]

Recalibrate our vigilance?

[Carolina]

Jack is scolding them of snap judgements.

[The Wizard]

do any of these assholes know they are covering a WAR.....do they even know.......

[pitinkie]

Yeah!!

[Catspaw]

Was that a question or a speech? Geez. So far I've heard "hearts & minds," checkpoint shooting questions, someone wanting to know where an Iraqi general we captured was, who he is & what's he saying, then go back to #1 & repeat.

[Straight Vermonter]

I worry that the Russians are giving the Iraqis overhead imagery. That could be bad for any "surprises" we have in store.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Recalibrate our vigilance? ...

After all, it's "just a suicide bomber". What a MORON!

[babaloo]

The first course they take in Journalism School is Handwringing 101.

[The Wizard]

How dumb can these people be.......always it's our fault, always......they should all have to go out to battle

[Peach]

Great answer about why people should know what to do - we've sent messages over and over to the Iraqi people.

[Carolina]

Whoa, Jack is on fire again!!!!! Scolding them of characterizing events negatively. He's speaking to the Newspaper Society.
