What About The Soldiers?

This is a piece from Drudge regarding CNN’S Christine Amanpour:

CNN’s top war correspondent Christiane Amanpour now says the Iraq war has been a disaster and has created a “black hole.”

Amanpour made the comments Monday evening on the all-news network.

“The Iraq war has been a disaster, and journalists have paid for it,” Amanpour explains to Larry King, a day after ABC NEWS anchor Bob Woodruff was injured by a bomb.

“This is not acceptable what’s going on there and it’s a terrible situation.”

AMANPOUR: “It’s a spiraling security disaster… And by any indication whether you take the number of journalists killed or wounded, whether you take the number of Iraqi soldiers killed and wounded, contractors, people working there, it just gets worse and worse.”

I do not consider the war a disaster but why did this moonbat not mention the number of soldiers killed? If she is calling the war a disaster and basing it upon the number of people who have been injured or killed why would she disregard the group that has suffered the greatest number of casualties? This is how much the liberals and the MSM hate our military. They are not considered when lamenting the number of people wounded or killed.

A reporter and his cameraman get injured and all of the sudden the MSM realizes that war is a dangerous thing and that people get hurt and killed. We have been inundated non stop with information about Woodruff and Vogt. My prayers go out to them and their families and I wish them a speedy recovery but just because they got hurt does not mean they are more important than the folks who are fighting and winning this war.

If this moonbat reporter wanted to have some shred of credibility she should have mentioned the troops but as usual with the MSM, they are an after thought. Just a bunch of people who could not get jobs, expendable at that. Shameful, very shameful.

    We were switching channels last night and there Christine Amanpour was on Larry King. I only heard a few sentences come out of her mouth and my husband had to change the channel…HAHAHA I was getting more and more angry by the second. Christine Amanpour is one that really takes me over the edge.

    She was vile and oh man oh man I can hardly type about it she makes me so mad. Thank you for posting about this BIG DOG!!!!

    If they don’t like it, they don’t have to be there…. Oh, right, they are afraid everything they hear from military sources is propoganda. How could I forget.
