The MSM Stoops to Another Low
This is BS. Who was holding the camera? An Embed? Why was it immediately sent to the mass media jerks? Doesn’t all film like that need to be cleared? Why let MM follow our troops? They are doing nothing (IMHO) but looking for an op to make our men/women look bad. This poor Marine, will most likely face a court marshal and tons of bad press..his family and ‘brothers’ will suffer too..all because an outsider who just doesn’t get it jumped the gun and made it look like a scene from a movie gone wrong. This REALLY fires me up. As soon as the shit starts rolling, I’m writing to everyone I can on ‘the hill’ and calling for all embeds to be removed. Any news media jerk that wants to get film will have to pay to go on their own, and take their own chances. No more tagging along with our troops. If the guys was alive and armed, then the rules of enguagement (as I understand them) made it o.k. to plug the guy. Screw the terrorists.

Oh shit, here we go again!
The ragheads booby-trap the bodies; they pretend to be dead, then open fire; they break every rule of engagement known to God and man; and yet we punish our troops for making sure none die from this trickery. Absolutely, we want our guys to maintain their morals and humanity. But MOST OF ALL, we want them to maintain their lives.
Shoot ‘em, then plant some kind of a weapon on them. And no, don’t shoot the embedded “journalists”. Just shoot their f**king cameras. They’ve made a damn “reality” television show out of the war.Just my thougfhts -

It is a sad state of affairs when anyone who has cable or satellite is now an “authority” on war and combat! Embeds are a good idea overall but can sometimes get in the way. I wish this embed’s camera had accidentally malfunctioned.
End game - one less scumbag to hurt our troops. Anyone who thinks the camel f***er was an innocent, injured insurgent needs to be taken to Baghdad and shown what these “innocents” are really doing to us and civilian Iraqis.
Hoo-ah!
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the MSM will jump on an opportunity to vilify our country and our troops who sacrifice so much to defend, not only our nation, but other nations as well.
All the while, rationalizing the motives of the UN, Saddam Hussein, Yasar Arafat, and terrorists in general.
Folks, it’s an upside down world when this sort of thinking is not only accepted but expected.
I pray that the blogosphere will overtake the MSM, beat them severely about the head and neck, and leave them for dead on the side of the information highway.
I’m sick of all those self-serving assholes!
Why does the MSM keep leaving out the part about the Marine screaming-he’s fucking faking it he’s fucking faking being dead.Kind of puts a different twist on it in my book.
The embeded reporters might want to start watching their backs. A person never knows when a ‘frendly fire’ accident may occure. A bullet might get embeded in a camera, or worse.
