| ABC's Woodruff, Camerman Injured in Iraq |
| 2006-01-29 |
| NEW YORK - ABC News anchor Bob Woodruff and a cameraman were seriously injured Sunday in an explosion while reporting from Iraq, the network said Sunday. Woodruff and cameraman Doug Vogt were hit by an improvised explosive device near Taji, Iraq. They were embedded with the 4th Infantry Division and traveling with an Iraqi mechanized vehicle. Pray for them. Reporters getting out of the hotel to report. One wonders if they were specifically targetted for doing so, or just got hit by chance. |

| #15 A dead MSM is a good MSM. If I could get my hands on some IEDs, I'd have bombed them myself. |

| #14 ABC did a piece on it and showed the post blast ambush and how they defended it. They were hit from three sides after the blast, or so ABC says. They gave credit to the US for saving the reporters and the Iraquis for fighting off the ambush. Top-outstanding job to you and your men, over to you for the truth. |

| #13 Top - We're hearing endless "reports" about the newsies... and I'm becoming furious that the "coverage" doesn't even mention your people and your NCO's injuries. Thank you for the great news about your NCO - news that actually matters to me - I am very glad to hear he is gonna pull through clean - w00t! Thank You to you and your troopers for your courageous and selfless efforts. You are appreciated here - please drop in when you can - and stay safe. |

| #12 Cleanup on Aisle 9! ******* Thanks for the info, TopMac - glad your NCO will be OK. Don't know if you've been here before - hope you come back often. Our thanks to your all for your service. You all are the most incredible people on this earth. I wake up every day grateful for two things: That my ancestors got on those boats, and that there are wonderful people like you who are willing to protect the freedom that was bought for me (and the idiot trolls) with the blood of people like you over the past 200+ years. Ignore the trolls on Aisles 2 and 9. |

| #11 I hate to see anyone injured. I really mean it. However when will the MSM realise this is a real war and stand behind our leadership so we can win it? Until they do I hope one of them feels this pain everyday just like those that fight and lead it do. |

| #8 good for you and your NCO - our prayers are with him... and the reporter, I guess, depending on his agenda. I used to feel bad having to add that caveat, but the MSM agenda threatens American victory and my family's safety, and I don't forgive easily |

| #7 He was trying to get a line on the Iraqi army and the unit I am advising, but he didn't get to see the tremendous job my troopers did with the fire from the ambush. I was there and did the first aide and it wasn't pretty. One of my best NCOs was Medavaced with them and he is out of surgery and should be back with in a week. |

| #2 The San Francisco Chronicle says: "take Osama's olive branch," and "hear him out." Seriously, the fact that - notwithstanding WW2 censorship - prior wartime media organs wouldn't even employ alleged humans who sought to aid and abet the enemy, but our media elites do, is indicative of our lack of resolute leadership. We have spent $300 billion on a war without a fixed enemy, who our leaders want to place on ballots. We have enabled elections that have done nothing but legitimate terrorist movements. If I had a time machine I would bee-line out of this 2006 insane asylum. Still, most are happy as pigs in crap with the current lunacy. Smug! http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2006/01/29/INGHSGSE591.DTL |
