Where the fuck are the embedded war reporters now?
We are still AT WAR - an illegal, unnecessary, and sinister war.

Where is the CNN war room - The MSNBC war maps?

Why isn't Wolf Blitzer in fucking full body armor and dodging bullets in Iraq?

Is it bad for the Christmas retail advertising dollars to show blood and guts on the Iraqi streets.

Fuck Sears, Dillard's, Toys R Us, Best Buy, and WalMart.

STOP BUYING and PROTEST the dumb ass ignoramus in the WH!

1. They are stuck in their hotels in the green zone.
No one seems to volunteer to do a "ride along" these days.

2. I am. Except for food, utilities, and some home maintenance that helps
*local* workers. I'm sitting out of this economy until * is impeached.

5. There was some babe on 60 minutes riding down the airport highway
last night. The story was still pretty bleak never the less.

6. They don't want to be targeted by "contractors". n/t
:scared:

To be fair, a lot of journalists have been hit in this war.

7. They got thrown out of bed and had to bum cabfare home
:(..

The ones still there are hunkered down in hotels, sending brave locals out to "find" them something to report on.. They are too "target-ish" to even show their faces.. They should just all come home and start writing about what a MESS is was there, and why they had to leave:(
