Don't be a fool and die for your country. Let the other sonofabitch die for his. -- General George S. Patton

April 12, 2004CNN (a.k.a. - The Communist News Network)Everyday people all over the world rely on the Cable News Network (CNN) to provide them with information on what is going on. From homeland security issues to terrorist attacks in the middle east. Many consider the Communist News Network (CNN) as a reliable and accurate source of factual information. While I do feel that they report the truth (for the most part) I also feel that they too are becoming biased and far to liberal... ... I remember a time when I had great respect for CNN. But my opinion has shifted. While I was deployed for Operation IRAQI FREEDOM I too relied on CNN for updates on the events surrounding me. It was good for visual information such as maps, people, places and events but following the bulk of the conflict the focus quickly shifted to the "innocent civilians". CNN appeared to make it a point to show a much larger quantity of footage of Non-Combatans such as the bombed out mosques (failing to report that it housed Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA). They would show "schools" that were struck by cruise missiles and show the picture of the little boy who lost a leg. However, they always seemed to conveniently cut out before they could mention that hiding inside were numerous Fedayeen fighters. Lets not forget that the Iraqi cowards hid behind their children and their women. These are the same people who would fake surrender and then try to attack the troops who were accepting their surrender. Now, before anyone labels me heartless, or a war monger let me set the record straight. I feel sorry for the true innocents who are caught in the ugliness of war. However, if it is a necessary casualty to prevent the loss of American lives then it is something I can live with. It is because of the bleeding heart liberals in the media that it has now become fashionable to protest the war. While patriotism is at an all time high, so is the trend to look down upon the defenders of this nation. CNN, I challenge you to return to your roots. It is possible to report without bias, all while keeping in mind that you are an American company. I know where I came from do the employees of CNN?

Heartless? Hell NO! I'd say you were a realist. The fact is that it seems to be an axiom in every Muslim society that there is no such thing as an innocent, only "martyrs to the cause". THEY don't seem to respect the innocent, unfortunatly that means that we must ignore our own ingrained idea of combatants and civilians and fight on their terms at some level just as a self defense measure.

Psst - MammaMontezz sent me - welcome and hello from a Navy gal (a civie) ... Posted by: maura at April 14, 2004 08:04 PMWhen civilians are killed and injured because insurgents/military are using them as screens, hiding behind them when they attack us and running to hide among them after an attack, then the deaths and injuries of the civilians are the fault of the insurgents. Hell Yeah Posted by: Bob at May 5, 2004 03:54 PMFunny, from watching CNN and FOX it was almost Where were you deployed to? I was in Qatar.
