He speaks the language and did not give opinion, or jepordize the troops...Come to FOX buddy!

Calling Roger Ailes! You've got to hire this guy!

No, don't put him on Fox. I've only got basic cable, and Fox is on premium cable (with the cable box and all). Premium cable costs way too much money. I'm already spending too much just on basic cable.

Arnot was imploring the soldiers not to leave the family behind. There was some disagreement during the chaos.

Then as if to offer a compromise, he shouted out, loud and clear, "Shoot the dog!"

I doubt a doctor would ever put an animal's life on a par with human beings.

He yelled "shoot the dogs" once. I heard it live as it happened.

Remember our bet? Well, I think you win.

I caught the video tonight. My "perception", just listening to it, and then seeing it were quite different. This wasn't nearly as hostile as it SOUNDED. Hope you got a chance to view it.

The "scared" to death family didn't appear nearly as frightened as Bob made them sound. The teenage boy in the background looked like he was about to crack up laughing. If anything, I felt that this family was mostly concerned about us killing their neighbors, friends, or whatever.

I don't want to necessarilly blame Bob, or MSNBC. Earlier today, I caught footage of some embed in the North that was traveling with some SOF and Kurds. All of a sudden they were getting shelled. The reporter was hyperventelating and having a real hard time controlling himself even after the danger to him subsided. In fact, I think as the camera moved away, you could see him diving to the ground. Probably to vomit.

Anyway, was an interesting moment of this War.

No, don't go and gloat!

I watched this last night, only 'cuz I dozed off in my chair and woke up at 1 am.

It was the most mesmerizing war coverage I've seen and heard....but I've been on vacation for nearly two weeks.

There aren't many left here who might find it interesting, but FWIW, Arnot got his medical degree from McGill in Montreal in 1974.

And welcome back.
