How dare you, ponificating warblogger? Have youever actually bothered
to as much as go to those Baghdad hotel bars? How about the dead journalists?
Were they also talking to other journalists in baghdad hotel bars?
Did the journmalists who write the following just sit in bars talking
to other journalists?

You have absolutely no credibility on anything relating to Iraq aty all,
you consistently manage to get *EVERYTHING* preceicely wrong and only
report nonsense you have heard as hearsay. So just shut up or at least
talk to people who actually have been there instead of pretending
and blogging about it.

But of course a true propagandist and hypocrite like you will never
understand why your stupid ponitoifcation is so offensive.
