I have a project for you.

You can try to figure out why these people

Reporters light candles during a memorial ceremony in the garden of Baghdad's Palestine hotel for two cameramen killed earlier in the day in US tank shelling



are more concerned about THEMSELVES than they are about this:

THIS story.

%#^$&*@#$$#@!

These mediots did not give a rats ass when Al Jazeera violated the Geneva Convention and broadcast video of our dead soldiers and POWS. They do not care that our POWS are not being treated in accordance with the Geneva Convention, and now they want an investiation as to whether the hit on the hotel was a violation. GMAFB!

I'm happy when the dogs run and the kid plays in the creek, but get very churlish when its time for the news. I haven't watched anything but FoxNews Sunday on the regular Fox channel for three years. It took me three weeks after the Super Bowl to finally see the Ozzy Osborne Pepsi Twist commercial.

Other than that, I'm content.

[Prince Charles]

So we're supposed to ignore their possible shading the truth just because they have a minder? Sorry, that doesn't wash with me.

Regards.

The press that says we are targeting them are wrong..no doubt. I haven't seen Fox spouting that too much today. They have shown the DOD clip of them saying it's a war zone. But it's equally wrong for people to email and say that they deserve to get shot.

LOL he looks great! I'll have to go and find some of the other photos. Camo bandana? Shade is where you MAKE it! lol

[scab4faa]

Did our guys sleep in this morning??? Where's the troops?

[Prince Charles]

See #204.

[Howlin]

He even equated their service with that of the actual guys doing the fighting.

The reporters tried to do that at the DOD press conference today, too.

Disgusting.

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

Yeah, if the Iraqi minders are forcing them to lie, what exactly is the point of them being there broadcasting?

[Slip18]

"I don't know what's scarier, UN trucks with UN people or with 'Raqis!"

Both of those scenarios are pretty darned frightening.

I'm still scratching my head over the French wanting to come in to Iraq to help the Iraqis form a new government. It's a head scratcher, that's for sure.

[Sacajaweau]

Put the seals in a circle around the big seal. That's what they did with the state seals early on as shown in Doolittle's drawing. The Knights of the round table was the same theme.

Always bought round tables for my home. Told the kids it was a democracy but I had veto power. Since they're part Italian, I think they heard "Vito" and I scared the cra* out of them.

[Consort]

Good idea.

[GOPyouth]

Shep didn't say that. He's making the point that officials of the Iraqi military are there with them. He's not saying ingore it. He's saying keep it in mind.

[MEG33]

That is cruel. No one should say they deserved it.

[this_ol_patriot]

This stuff is much more dangerous than bombs. They have the new anti-American fuel, watch the fires.

[Slip18]

Makes you wonder, huh?

[Howlin]

If the Arab world is starting to see all those other pieces

Ahem.

It was written by John R. Bradley. :-)

[Prince Charles]

Just for the record, I'm not one of those who emailed Shemp with "they all deserve it..." emails and such.
