WAR WITH IRAQ

Rioters Stab L.A. Times Reporter

By Paul Watson

MOSUL, Iraq --

[...]

But the mob wanted blood, and I could see two men who had pulled out knives.

"Let me through — I want to kill him!" screamed one.

After several minutes of struggling and stone-throwing, the mob knocked me to the ground and kicked me repeatedly in the head and back before stabbing me in the buttocks.

The article's very short, so I had to chop it up to conform to the LAT/WP agreement. You gotta read it; this guy is the new American Fisk. He's claiming these Iraqis were attacking him purely for being American.

[Wil H]

These Iraqis are quite a discerning bunch aren't they?

[bedolido]

stabbed in the butt!!!??? lol... just missed his brain I guess.

[3AngelaD]

I'm sure all right-thinking Iraqis were attacking him for being a Lost Angeles Times reporter.

[vastrightwc]

He got stabbed in the buttock? Doesn't sound like he was putting up much of a valiant fight.

[Constitution Day]

That yew, Forrest?

"Ah got stayubbed in tha butt-tocks, suh."

[SwinneySwitch]

Love it! Why didn't we think of stabbing the press in the buttocks!

[areafiftyone]

Heard Mosul is the last place our soldiers are still having problems with the last of Saddam supporters. I heard it this morning.

"He got stabbed in the buttock? Doesn't sound like he was putting up much of a valiant fight."

good catch. he musta been running away...lol

[Zavien Doombringer]

Hmmm, scenes from an Airport trauma being told by a certain Downy fellow, sound familiar? (backwards Swaztika, semi-shaved head...I laughed my head off when I saw that one!)

[mountaineer]

he musta been running away

It's that French ancestry.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

Maybe they thought he worked for CNN.

[Cynderbean]

Stabbing in the butt is referred to as "turkish revenge". I don't know why but have heard it is a common practice in turkish prisons.

These might be Syrian imports; General Vallely, on FNC last night, was of that opinion.

[max_rpf]

They may not be "Stabbing" them with knives...

[Mike Darancette]

He's claiming these Iraqis were attacking him purely for being American.

Probably LA Times subscribers.

[bedolido]

"They may not be "Stabbing" them with knives..."


No... this is L.A. You're thinking of San Francisco... ooooppppsss!!! forgot about west hollywood.

[Redcloak]

Never bring a pen to a knife fight.

Are you confusing that with Butt Pirating?

[Grampa Dave]

He probably made the mistake of identifying himself as a writer for the LA Slimes.

The freed Iraqi had a moment of rage based on over two decades of the LA Slimes providing cover for the Mass Murderer Soddomite.

Actually his lover, probably stabbed him in the butt when he mentioned another guy's name in a Pit of Fashion, er Fit of Passion.
