"Is this what combat's like"?
Doofus on MSNBC watching a combat "feed" unedited from Falluja, and he actually asked the "rent-a-general"..

I honestly think that some of the so-called news people still think that this is all a "reality show".. What will it take for them to wake up and figure out that it's REAL.. people are really bleeding and dying..

and for WHAT?? To get that simpleton re-selected:(

1. Maybe that stupid fuck should realize
THe reason they show it is to drive home that it's real...what an ass there's journalists out there that have seen ten times the death and combat that fucking prat has...yet they still show it. Why? To help stop it.

2. Is there anyway to tell whether that 'Fire' actually came from the mosque?
The camera was unstable, and the puffs of smoke that supposedly represent firing from the mosque could have been manufactured by some type of ordinance I believe as a pretext to attack mosques.
