Be sure to watch the Obama clip beneath the Trailer, in which moron boy President demonstrates that he is ignorant about 93 Trade Towers, 9-11, and the story of KSM.

Bernard's family should find a creative attorney. I'd relish an outcome along the lines of what the Tobacco Jury gave us. Our press is begging for some payback, which as I have heard is "a bitch". Our constitution has granted the press some very special privileges, and they used those privileges to sell us out. Were we as individuals to likewise abuse our privileges (e.g. those pesky second amendment rights) we'd soon find ourselves in some very deep stuff. There'll be a new Attorney General one day, and perhaps he'll see some criminality in this. And perhaps that eventuality will come at the explicit will of the American people. Did I just call the AP criminals? Fancy that. He should, he should. Bernard’s family should find a creative attorney. I’d relish an outcome along the lines of what the Tobacco Jury gave us.

Gates just doesn't want the focus on the fact that our troops are dying, namely by ambush's set up by the very civilians who do not warn our soldiers. Obama's new war rules, are heartless to innocent American soldiers. Obama should have to fight along with our soldiers for a few weeks, so he can have some first hand experience.

Of course not. So stop with the “war reality” BS – the AP agenda is evident in their reporting. They are not neutral in my view. Flipping off the service members and their families that might have to save their bacon – like that joker in Kunduz, Afghanistan is not a winning strategy. Normally I’d support ops to rescue prisoners/hostages of AQ or the Taliban, including putting my own butt on the line, but for journalists it would be a hard call. I know more than a few who have said screw ‘em let them get to know their “militant” friends for what they are. Maybe I run with too many unsavory, violent military types. Of course if our enemy was a bit smarter he would leave most western journalist alone – they are so valuable when they are left to their journalism.

Especially since it is the serviceman who protects their sorry butts at risk of his own. Kathleen Carroll and all of her ilk are despicable.
