Interesting live footage on CNN

Posted on 04/12/2003 9:27:32 PM PDT by saquin

CNN reporter Brent Sadler traveling on a road very near Tikrit. The retired military officer in the studio keeps telling him to be careful. I find these live shots very nerve-wracking. It seems rather foolish for a reporter to be doing this, considering that Tikrit is a Saddam stronghold. Just a heads-up in case anyone is interested.

Those are CNN's version of technical vehicles.

It seems that they fired on the convoy after Sadler asked the Fedayeen where the local syangouge in Tikrit was located.

Exactly, thank you! They seemed to only have 1 guard and only he was armed. That doesn't make any sense at all, at least to me.

Well if that "head wound" is actually serious, this should boomerang on them. Would be more confirmation of CNN's "Blood For Ratings".

One guy with Newsweek wrote an article and almost bragged that he refused to be embedded and went into Iraq alone with just a photographer.

Ask me how many times we had to save his sorry ASS?

Maybe that farewell kiss from the UN Iraqi ambassador yesterday to the CNN dude was symbolic? (As in: see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya)

Commercial break now.

Petmeds commercial is so calming, along with an Advil commercial...... Ahhh, I think Brent could use an Advil about now......

I did see that, it looked like they were even on the other side of the road? Surely they have a bit of common sense and could, at the very least, have positioned themselves in the median.

"The first CNN plan has failed because of Iraqi resistance. Now Brent Sadler is trying to write another Tikrit plan," Arnett said. "Clearly, the CNN planners misjudged the determination of the Iraqi forces."
