Reuters SUCKS!
I just got home for lunch and turned on the TV to Fox News to catch up while I munched a sandwich. I tuned in just as a press conference between Gen. Tommy Metz, on-scene commander in Iraq and the Pentagon press corps was just starting. The question and answer session was by satellite hookup. The first reporter was a fat fuck asshole from Reuters who wore reading glasses and appeared to be looking down his nose at everyone. I could almost predict what was coming.
This jerk asked Gen. Metz for body counts, politely at first. Gen. Metz replied in a gentlemanly, professional manner that US forces have not engaged in body counts in Iraq to date and would not start. The Reuters jerk refused to yield the floor to other reporters and insisted on pressing Gen. Metz for a body count, even if just an estimate. Gen. Metz stood his ground and refused to get into the numbers game with this cretin. The Reuters cockroach still refused to yield the floor and again pressed for a body count, getting downright peevish and accusatory in his questioning tone. Gen. Metz tried to re-state the Pentagon’s position on body counts (still in a professional manner).
Fortunately, someone in the Pentagon press room managed to get control of this fucktard jerk from Reuters at this point and forced him to sit the fuck down and let other reporters question the General. The other reporters continued with fairly decent questions after that.
This is an outrage, people. I am sick and damned tired of these asswipes in the media acting as if they are on a mission from God with no sense of professionalism or courtesy. The media was intended by the framers of our Constitution to be the watch dogs .... not the attack dogs.
For the record, I stopped reading Reuters dispatches shortly after the invasion of Iraq when they started providing so much coverage for the “brave human shields going to protect the peaceful friends of Saddam from the illegal US invaders”.
Horse-shit!
For the record, if this Reuters creep had tried to pull some stunt like this on General Patton in World War II, Patton would have probably just pulled his ivory handled revolver out and shot the bastard right there on the spot ... and then asked the other reporters “Any more stoopid questions?”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
