1. are they sure it was a shooting?


Maybe a passing Iraqi just threw a rose really really hard unintentionally.

Thanks for another death, George!

7. "BRING EM ON"
The December count is starting. I guess there are still a few Iraqi minds not satisfied that things are better now.

It's time to send more young people to Iraq to kill the infidel.</Sarcasm>

3. Why would they shoot a dead soldier?
I know it isn't funny but that's how the syntax struck me at first glance.

5. I know, I didn't imply that either. It's still bad syntax...
Probably the result of Reuters out-sourcing the copy-editing to Walmart.

4. and isn't odd

8. kick
The media conveniently forget these poor men and women as soon as they are killed. Let's not do the same here.

10. Isn't that the truth?
What a damned, wretched, unworthy job from our "newsgathering" media.

You can tell the degree of "compassion" and concern our news organizations have, not by what they claim for themselves, but by the actual quality of their efforts.

Welcome to D.U., DeaconBlues. :hi: :hi:
