Stung by Ingraham, NBC Claims Its Iraq Coverage. . . Not Negative Enough!

Has there ever been even ONE story in the MSM about how the insurgents are not adhering to the Geneva Conventions regarding the rules of war?

[jporcus]

Laura Ingraham is GREAT!

I highly doubt that Gore would fight this war like Bush has

Gore would have never gone into Afghanistan... much less Iraq. The courts and the UN would have been his 'weapon' of choice.

"I too cannot understand the terrorist mindset. I don't believe you can understand insanity."

I am sorry for the confusion. I was posting while doing something else.

I didn't mean the Islamic mindset. I meant the Americans who hate America and its military, mindset.

The only thing between the hajis and the Hollywood crowd and other liberals who the hajis hate, is W and our military.

I am mystified by the mentality of those Americans who think that by removing W and the military from the equation, they (the liberals) will somehow be safe.

They won't be. The next time the hajis hit, it may well be the Hollywood morons who get clubbed. Wouldn't that be poetic justice? (sorry, momma told me not wish for such things)

I remember the nuns showing us old newsreels of Neville Chamberlain standing at the foot of the airplane ladder, holding up a piece of paper and smiling.

It still amazes me that the man actually believed that he had accomplished something.

"I'm asking for intellectual honesty. I don't think you would be happy with our current situation in Iraq if this was a dem president, but the events had been played out in the same manner."



On this note Joe, remember when boy Clinton went into Serbia. Republicans had grave reservations. But they were quiet and supported his decision to use force, and even stayed the course. (btw, our troops are still there, even though boy Bill said they would be out by that Christmas, I hear crickets chip when I listen for criticism from the msm) But Clinton never, ever, had to deal with the sniping, backbiting and downright treasonous activity that W is having to put up with from the Ratz.

This point can't even be debated.

Had John Kerry won the election we would have turned tail and run last year.

How did Slick Willie "play it out" in Rowanda?

What happened when the UN and Slick Willie decided that Africans in Rowanda were disposable?

What happened in Cambodia after John Kerry came home after Christmas Eve?

--

WTC-'93, Somalia's "Blackhawk Down", WACO, bombing the ChiCom embassy by Slick Willie - we know well the great minds of the democrats when things get hot -

--

As far as "intellectual honesty" - Slick Willie's alleged "intelligence photographic memory" did not seem to help him when MENSA turned down both Bill & Hill flat in 1992 during the campaign.

When Gregory asked Carville what his advice to President Bush would be, Carville 'helpfully' suggested: "Talk about the consequences of failure."

If anyone knows about failure, its Carville.

He's been one his entire, pathetic life.

LOL, first time I've seen the NBC Pinki!

[potlatch]

Good thoughtful post devolve.

Just my own devious sense of humor but I especially liked this one;

What happened in Cambodia after John Kerry came home after Christmas Eve?

Cambodians - "did you see him?", "no, hey Ling, did you see him?".............

[devolve]

About 3 million Cambodians were butched by Pol Pot after the USA pulled out of Viet Nam

The media occasionally showed some pix - there was a great movie - but the MSM never let Americans connect it up with the anti-war hippies and John Kerry

[potlatch]

Yes, I wasn't thinking and was joking about Kerry's claim to having been in Cambodia on Christmas Eve.

PBS did some navel-gazing tonight about whether the press is unfairly accentuating the negative. The lead-in was a portion of Pres. Bush's encounter with Helen Thomas yesterday. The conclusion of the panel was that "if it bleeds, it leads" and if people want to know anything else, they'll have to go to alternative sources like the internet. OK, they don't have to tell me twice!

[GOPJ]

Thanks for the ping.

[dixiechick2000]

HA!

That's GREAT! ;o)

Here's what that dirbag Keith Olberman said:

"A note about Laura Ingram's comments. I've known her a long time. I'll in fact give you the caveat that I've know her socially. But that hotel balcony crack was unforgivable. In was unforgivable to the memory of David Blum, it was unforgivable in considerable of Bob Woodruff and Doug Vought, unforgivable in light of what happened to Michael Kelly and what happened to Michael Weiskopft. It was unforgivable with Joe Carroll still a hostage in Iraq. And it was not only unforgivable of her; it was desperate and it was stupid."

[Wilum]

Mathews had full hour "we're ok, the world's all wrong" coverage and the idiot Olberman continued it. NBC can't stop from trying to justify its actions.

Hee, Hee.

[EnquiringMind]

Can't stand Tim.

Long ago, he'd sometimes make a half-hearted attempt at being non-partisan, but that flew out the window in the year 2000.
