Islamo-facists the MSM AND the left in this country are one and the same.
Well imagine that! The MSM lied again! Who'd da thought that?
It's evidently asking too much for them to report on what actually happened, rather than what some people *think* happened or would *like* to happen. And, as we all know, that doesn't fit the socialist agenda.
I'm in Ramadi. I'll be here for another eight months.
The Mooj always put this kind of crap out when we score.
And the Left laps it up like cream.
High-five's to my neighbors.
Pleading ignorance, what does "IED" stand for?
When can we see the video of this? Will it be released? I get a real warm fuzzy when these things come out.
This is dangerous. When the MSM becomes a mouthpiece for a constituency (the democratic party in particular), we lose perspective and objectivity, the two most important elements to any story. We are thus propelled into a world fueled by cynisism and paranoia. It is a matter of time the Pentagon creates a news channel to advance its agenda or to defend itself against slanted bias which in turn is very dangerous for the soldiers on the ground and policy makers trying to achieve a stated goal.
*UPDATE* I've been told, through reliable sources, that something interesting happened on Camp Ramadi some hours after this engagement. It seems the Iraqi civilian authorities in the city of Ramadi contacted the camp and requested we treat some "civilians" who had been wounded in some kind of explosion. I guess the higher ups agreed. Those who showed up were "MAMs", Military Aged Males, and a couple children. No females. The MAMs had very serious injuries caused by an explosion. However, the few children that were treated only had one or two cut's on their arms, nothing serious, which looked to be caused by a "sharp" knife like object. This is of course not "official" but anyone who has had to deal with the insurgents know that they know we are very caring towards children. I guess kids are a soft spot for many of us warriors. The insurgents know we would not have treated only MAMs. I'm sure you can figure the rest out for yourselves. *After that strike on the insurgent position, things here around Ramadi have been very calm and attacks with in the city and its outskirts have been very low.*
He doesnt spell it out, but these sick bastards needed treatment, so gathered up some children, cut their arms, and presented themselves all as civilians wounded in the attacks to get treatment. We need another followup, and hopefully those scumbags were detained as terrorists.
