#1 As I say every time I read about one of al-Reuters terrorist supporting minions getting capped......GOOD! I hope it was very painful, and permanently debilitating. These bastards deserve it.

#3 Yeah - I read in an AP story that the "press" was all huffy and indignant about the expulsion order - and saying they weren't going to comply. They must've thought they were in London or NY - instead of a war zone. Real Darwin Award potential there... And here we are...

The funniest thing was that the Police Chief who was booting them was named Al Jazeera. Heh.

#7 "The journalist was taking pictures with an American military unit at the time. It was not known who fired the shot that wounded him"

In a sane world, Frank, the report would make clear that the shot was fired by THE ENEMY.

In today's bizarro world, anything the various news wires can do to infer, ever so subtly, that WE shot that reporter, they will gladly publish.

Oh wait. In this war, the media IS the enemy. Never mind. Carry on.

#14 Whitecollar Redneck,

I think the "najaf" is the Arabic equivalent of what duelling reports used to describe as "the fleshy upper part of the thigh," ie he was wounded in his pride (the same part my husband fell on in his TaeKwanDo class last Saturday, poor darling)
;-)

#16 Gee, thanks for sharing, Anon6110!
You wouldn't happen to be a very badly wounded Osama phoning it in from Waziristan, would you?
I personally love being a WASP, legitimate non-fornicating "b*stard jew mother f*cker" and I love and will vote for AGAIN that "c*cksucker george," too.
The "moron" has ridden rings around his enemies, both foreign and domestic, so how much of a moron is he, really?
The world is now minus 2 Islamist thugocracies and a 3rd has disarmed voluntarily (and the rest are talking about "reforms") and we're not done...so who's laughing now, moron?!
