    Everybody is getting killed in Iraq except Sen. John McCain and his Brokeback Mountain lover Sen. Lindsey Graham who got massive military protection while buying rugs for their DC pad together.

    You mean they don’t have to worry about money for retirement? So they can spend their whole paychecks on luxuries!

    Where’s Jake, Patrick, Mighty Aphrodite in Valiant Venus disguise, and the other “Patriots”?

    You’re all needed in Iraq to help them out of a bad situation… I mean, that is why you motor mouths keep saying that we’re there – to help the Iraqis. So – get to it…

    That must be where all of the “good news” is going. Those darn journalists that bear the good tidings keep getting killed. Golly, what a relief. Here I was thinking that there might not be good news. Has anyone told the Repubs that this might be a good talking point (Good News dies on lips of journalists unfairly targeted by extremists).

    I know, we “surge” the number of Media personnel, lets start with moving Fox News, including Murdoch over there.

    Most of them were probably Al Qaeda stringers who worked for the AP and CNN and were killed by U.S. Marines.

    May Patrick’s family experience the same horrors and tragedies…

    …as ALL the innocent Iraqis and Afghans are experiencing because of his racism and ignorance…

    …may Patrick weep and suffer…

    …it deserves it…

    #4 – shane,
    For an Iraqi journalist, death is a career move. Retirement is beyond reach.
