1) This is terrible.
2) Pray for their families.
3) How are the Old Media going to spin this against the cause?

[texianyankee]

It was reported that Woodruff has 4 children.

I hope & pray for all of those injured in this attack.

[Caipirabob]

Prayers for our brave soldiers. May they recover quickly. Nuts to the seditious media.

Unlike CBS and NBC, ABC Again Refuses to Label Hamas as “Terrorist” Posted by Brent Baker on January 27, 2006 - 00:04.

While CBS and NBC reporters were willing Thursday night to outright tag, without any qualifiers or attributions to others, Hamas as a “terrorist” group, for the second night in a row, ABC's World News Tonight distanced itself from the term -- even avoiding it during a friendly profile of a terrorist. ABC anchor Bob Woodruff teased from Jerusalem: “Tonight, a monumental shake-up in the Middle East. Hamas declared the winner of the Palestinian elections. The U.S. calls them terrorists.”

But that was it for the label. Woodruff proceeded to refer to Hamas as “the militant Islamic group that calls for the destruction of Israel” and he conceded “there is no question that Hamas is more militant and more overtly Islamic than the secular leaders it defeated.” Woodruff also noted that “through its military wing,” Hamas “has led the fight against Israel,” but he then put a nice and generous face on Hamas, adding that “through its charities” Hamas has “provided free schooling, medicine and food.”

Following his opening story on the election victory by Hamas, Woodruff set up a piece on how “one of its most-celebrated figures,” a woman who won a seat, “is a mother who sent her sons to their deaths.” With “A Bombers' Mother” as the on-screen tag, Wilf Dinnick provided a non-judgmental look at how “Palestinians voted for Miriam Farahat because she's made astonishing sacrifices in her quest to destroy Israel. Farahat has sent three of her six sons on suicide missions. That's why her supporters call her Um Nidal, the 'Mother of the Struggle.'” Without ever calling her or her murdering sons either “murderers” or “terrorists,” Dinnick concluded with her “sacrifice” for the cause: “Today, she vowed to do whatever Hamas asks of her. 'I am ready to serve,' she says. And if that means sacrificing her three remaining sons, Um Nidal says she's willing.” (Full transcripts of ABC's stories, as well as the labeling aired by CBS and NBC, follows.)

***

So Woodruff at least ackowledged that Hamas is an advocate for the destruction of Israel. There are those at ABC who would coddle terrorists and portray them as anything other than Anti-Semetic/Anti-Christ Terrorists. If you refuse to choose between good and evil, the net result is that you side with evil.

Perhaps this close encounter with the enemy will change Bob's heart further? Let's hope he recovers and lives long enough to truly understand the threat we face as a people. All of us.

[YOUGOTIT]

As much as ABC news hates the US Military why are we treating him in a US military facility?

[jimbo123]

Woodruff was blown up by the "freedom fighters" lauded so much by ABC and their comrades in the moonbat media? Say it isn't so...

Subject: IED Attack

Bob Woodruff and his cameraman, Doug Vogt, were injured in an IED attack near Taji, Iraq today. They were embedded with the 4th Infantry Division, traveling with an Iraqi Army unit in an Iraqi mechanized vehicle. Bob and Doug are in serious condition and are being treated at a U.S. military hospital in Iraq. At this point, we don't know much more than this. We'll keep you posted as we learn more. I know that all of us will keep Bob, Doug, and their families in our thoughts and prayers."

Terrible news. I hope he makes a full recovery.

[Wasanother]

Maybe the MSM will start a daily "reporter" body count the same way they've done our troops without any honor or respect to their sacrifices?

[MinuteGal]

This war is a couple years old. There have been countless journalists from around the world accompanied by camermen filming trillions of feet of tape of missions, firefights, outright battles, door-to-door seek & destroys, you name it.

Where are all these tapes? The MSM must bury them in vaults somewhere. We NEVER get to see our intrepid, highly-trained troops in action.

Do we have to wait to see these tapes on the History Channel 10 years from now?

Forget the WMD's. Where are the war tapes? WE WANT TO SEE THEM!

(......probably the MSM liberal big-wigs view them and then ship them to be hidden in Syria. The truth is they don't want us to know we're in a REAL war).

Brave guys. Most media people over there stay in their hotel, I thought. Since it was media who were injured by "insurgents", would this be classified as a case of them being hurt by friendly fire?

[wardaddy]

Shame...not an overtly hostile guy...nothing like that harridan Amanpour.

[Hoodat]

Any bets on how long it takes before some DUmmy claims that Woodruff was targeted by the military?

[KenmcG414]

Too bad. MSM will now be making Mr. Woodruff a martyr forgetting all about American militray casualties. You know MSN will caste all the blame for this incident on President Bush.

[clintonh8r]

This will be the media's Cronkite/Tet/"unwinable" moment...

[GianniV]

Bush'a fault - he has instructed the military to kill journalists!

[KCRW]

They are Americans- I will continue to pray for their safety and quick recovery.

[thoughtomator]

Call me heartless, but knowing the MSM "journalists" are unmistakably and devotedly on the side of the enemy, I can't muster an ounce of sympathy.

Now the troops, I hope they're OK.

[EDINVA]

how about members of the 4th Infantry Division? Any of them injured?

[NonValueAdded]

My usual snide comment suppressed and prayers out for those two men. They were out there doing in a very dangerous place and that is plenty brave. I might disagree with their reporting and perspective, but at least they weren't sitting in a Caravelle Hotel, making up the news to fit the template. (OK, they were out gathering up news to fit the template :) just a joke to break the tension, I couldn't resist).

[Lexington Green]

My heart pumps piss for these wartime traitors.
