Al Jazeera reporters chased out of Basra by angry mob

Fox News | April 9, 2003

Adam Housley of Fox news just had a breaking story that Kuwait television is reporting that a couple of Al Jazeera reporters were chased out of Basra by an angry mob upset over how Al Jazeera has been reporting on the region. The Kuwaitis let them in in order to rescue them.

FoxNews just reported that Iraqi Exiles did almost the same thing to ALJ reporters in Michigan. They told the reporters to leave and that the news station did nothing but lie.

Maybe the Iraqis would like to get FOX News.

Hey, this is a job for FOX News channel. Set up an office in Baghdad to give Arabic-language real news, fair and balanced. They'll report, and the Arab people will decide the course of freedom and oust their leaders (maybe).

The beautiful little Iraqi girl with the smile waving Old Glory is one of my two fav photos of this war.

The other is our soldier lounging in one of Saddam's palace chairs enjoying a smoke.

This guy fought a mile for a Camel!

Al Jazeera between a rock and a hard place. The Iraqi government threw them out several times for being too pro US, the arabs hate them........maybe they aren't as bad as our own NY Slimes.

"They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em.

ROTFL!! GMTA!! I was singing that song as I began reading this post!! I had heard about this on FOXNews earlier this evening.

Hannity mention today that the BBC didn't show the pulling down of Saddam's statue in Bagdad! Wish FOX would set up in GB too.

[PistolPaknMama]

waaaaaaa!

I say we descend on Atlanta and do the same thing to CNN.

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!

Now, if only an angry mob would chase Peterless Jennings, Catie Alcoholic, Tom Blowkaw, Dan Blather, abd the rest of the elitist leftist media out of NYC and DC. Maybe Canada would let them in.

Whose side are the Kurds on?

Their own.

[whadizit]

"I'd love to work for CNN, but that Carville guy is just a little too creepy for me..."

Al Jazeera controls Baghdad. I will show you--

Hey, I don't know about the rest of you, but I miss this guy. I am hoping he shows up on Letterman or Leno.

I am Tom Cruise! I look like him! This is NOT a comb-over! You will taste the leather of my shoe! The next commercial is brought to you by those dogs at McDonalds!

*sigh* Memories..

And Katie Couric too, who did nothing but bash Bush for "doing nothhing about the Palestinians" during the statue pull-down this am. She and Brokow sounded annoyed and depressed about this ultra-historical moment and were practically blaming Bush's Mideeast policy for terrorism. Did anyone else hear this garbage? It was outrageous!

In the old days I would tolerate it, but now if I hear that cr*p I just ... "mean time to click" for Aaron Brown in this war was under 5 minutes. Couric? under 1 min, i'd guess - not even watchable.

I hear Traitor dan rather's rating are in the toilet - who'd a thunk???
