WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Fox News Channel executives and the Pentagon reached a deal Monday in which correspondent Geraldo Rivera, who raised the military's ire when he reported operational details, will leave Iraq voluntarily rather than be expelled, Pentagon officials told CNN.

Fox, please dump this guy!

I hope that it is finally settled. Please make him go away for good.

How about we see what FOX says? You'll note that the CNN reporter attributes his info to unnamed sources.

Isn't this strike number 3 since he's been with Fox? The first was making a false statement about where he was broadcasting from (hallowed ground) in Afghanistan. The second was broadcasting from Hooters after the club bombing in Indonesia, and this is number three. Seems to me that it's time for him to go...for good.

I heard an interview with Geraldo with Bill O'Reily last night. Geraldo denied having to leave the unit. As much as I hate listening to Bill O'Reily and his Spin Zone, Geraldo sounded very sure that he was fine and that he would remain with the unit. I guess he was wrong!

Maybe whoraldo can get back to searching for al capones vault now!

I don't miss Geraldos "reports" and I'm wondering what others think?

[Taiwan Bocks]

Meanwhile what about CNN?!?!

CNN international reaches like hundreds of millions of international viewers.

And they are spewing 24/7, nothing but hate and anti-U.S. venom.

It's incredible, unbelievable, and contemptible.

FReepers are our only hope!!!

. . . will leave Iraq voluntarily rather than be expelled . . .

Once upon a time we had divisive employee that became too difficult to manage . . . we asked her to voluntarily resign (at a great loss to us) rather than be fired. We all lived happily ever after.

I feel the same way. I was very disappointed in Fox when I saw Jerry this am on TV. I expected more class from Fox than this. But, I should have known better.

[Capt_Hank]

I've never seen them. I change to the History Channel when he shows his Klinton butt kissing face.

How about we see what FOX says?

do you give all serial screwups the same benefit of the doubt that you give geraldo?

I always found his reports extremely entertaining, but only because he is such a laughable faux-tough goofball.

[Conservababe]

So what is this garbage of pentagon officials speaking directly to CNN? Do they have a connection to this one network? Something smells fishy.

[Lee Heggy]

I was hoping they'd duct tape his sorry butt to a Patriot and we'd have live coverage of his leaving Iraq vertically and going out with a bang.

This article was posted on CNN at 6:32 a.m. this morning.

Shortly after that, Geraldo was ON Fox News.

You obviously have no idea what the "fog of war" is like. Give Geraldo a break, he has no talent other than self promotion and needs to keep drawing attention to himself. He is kind of the Brooke Shields of the journalism world, except he does not even make the minimal standards of a journalist.

He studied at the Clinton School of Truth and Reality, where he got a Masters degree from the master himself. "Yeah, grasshopper, yuh jes gotta look 'em in the eye and quiver yer lip, and git a lil tear in yer eye and tell 'em a whopper. Then, yuh gotta go grab some butt at the nearest girly joint."

This really irks me too. Everywhere I go on post -the PX, the gym, the hospital, etc... the TV's are all tuned to CNN with large signs instructing everyone not to change the channel.

[mabelkitty]

Who is the government scum that leaked this to CNN?

They obviously have an anti-American anti-war agenda, and should be rooted out and fired.
