Yes, I agree. While I wish none of them ill as regards their physical health and well-being, I flat out do not care about them, either.
In my opinion, the defeatist, seditious, Left-wing reporting by American and European media gives aide, comfort and encouragement to the terrorists/"insurgents." Who knows how many of our troops have died thanks to Leftist reporters all but begging the bad guys to keep on keeping on. So I am disinterested when any reporters get their tushes in trouble.
ABC News anchorman Bob Woodruff and his cameraman Doug Vogt were seriously injured in a roadside explosion in Taji, Iraq today. Both are in "serious condition" and are being treated at a U.S. military hospital in Iraq, according to a statement from ABC News President David Westin.Woodruff and Vogt sustained immediate shrapnel injuries to the head and Vogt a broken shoulder from the bomb, an improvised explosive device, or IED. Both are undergoing surgery at the U.S. military hospital in Balad, 50 miles north of Baghdad, according to the network. They had been embedded with the 4th Infantry Division and were traveling in a convoy with Iraqi security forces. ABC reported that Woodruff and Hogt were in the hatch of a military vehicle taping footage when an explosive went off, followed by a small arms fire...

...According to ABC, Woodruff and Vogt has been traveling in a U.S. armored humvee and then transferred to the Iraqi vehicle before the bomb exploded. Both were wearing body armor, helmets and ballistic glasses at the time and were medevaced to the Green Zone for treatment and then flown to Balad for medical care.
Raddatz said the two switched to the Iraqi military forces' vehicle to more closely cover the conflict, making them a "softer target."
Because training Iraqi forces is of primary importance to the U.S. military strategy, war correspondents have been embedding themselves with the Iraqi forces to "see how they live."
Knowing this, Iraqi insurgents have made these forces their "primary target," she said. Woodruff and Vogt were undergoing "the best medical care you can possibly get."
Woodruff, 44, assumed the co-anchor slot at World News Tonight earlier this month. He and Vargas replaced the late Peter Jennings. Since then, ABC has often kept one anchor reporting from the studio, while dispatching the other to report from the field, as it did in sending Woodruff to Iraq. He was to have remained in Iraq through Tues., ABC said...
This is not your opinion. This is an easily verifiable fact. Bin Laden's regurgitation of media poll numbers in his most recent "screed from the great beyond" would be Exhibit A.
Like you, I don't wish ill will to Woodruff or his ABC News colleague. But the detonation of an IED is not an occasion to forget or excuse the intentional harm they have been inflicting on the men defending this country from the Islamofacists.
ABC News has been an important tool for the DNC, and by extension, the Islamists, since this conflict began. I can't just brush that aside because he put himself in harm's way and harm found him. I mourn and pray for the troops, not those working to obstruct them.
