A Top Female Officer Died In Iraq So Oliver "Iran-Contra" North Could Jack Up His FOX Ratings
This makes me sick:
Marine Officer Who Died In Iraq Had Been Escorting Oliver North and 'Newsweek' Journalist
By Joe Strupp


Editor & Publisher / December 18, 2006 4:55 PM ET

NEW YORK -- Marine Maj. Megan McClung, a public affairs officer who became the highest-ranking woman killed in Iraq when she died two weeks ago, had been escorting Oliver North and a FOX News crew through Ramadi just moments before a roadside bomb took her life, a military spokesman told E&P on Monday.

When the explosion occurred on Dec. 6, McClung was in the midst of escorting a Newsweek staffer, according to Lt. Col. Bryan Salas, a public affairs officer stationed at Camp Fallujah. He said he did not know the identity of the Newsweek employee or the reason for the escort.


... and there is a HUGE difference between that homicidal, Ayatollah-coddling traitor Ollie North -- exploiting our troops to feign patriotism and support a squandered "victory" followed failed occupation -- and Al Franken, who is over there to cheer up the troops.

Nice going, Ollie, you media f&$#ing whore -- betcha a certain Marine Major would still be alive if you weren't involved. Semper fi, my ass, you felonious bastard...

1. I wish it had been Ollie. That way he'd actually pay for his sins.

5. Well, at least it wasn't a meaningless death
But boy, hosting and escorting a Newsweek staffer and Oliver North! Now there's something worth dying for. I'll bet her family is so proud. Did Ollie bring her a cake and a Bible? That would just be so keen.

Now all we need is another submarine being joy-ridden by a bunch of Bush's campaign donors to surface under a Japanese fishing boat, and it'll be morning in America again!

Fu-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-uck.
