Screw The ASSociated Press

The Speedometer Odometer Of Liberal Anti-War Hate


Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Associated Press, the balance of the Lamestream media, and the Washington talking heads can all celebrate yet another milestone in their war on the War on Terror.

The Associated Press reports that the confirmed US troop casualties have reached a nice even 2,500 as of today:

WASHINGTON - The number of U.S. military deaths in the Iraq war has reached 2,500, the Pentagon said on Thursday, more than three years into a conflict that finds U.S. and allied foreign forces locked in a struggle with a resilient insurgency. In addition, the Pentagon said 18,490 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war, which began in March 2003 with a U.S.-led invasion to topple President Saddam Hussein. Tens of thousands of Iraqis have been killed.

That, by the way, is the ENTIRE text of their article, but don’t expect this non-story to stop there.

I GUARAN-DAMN-TEE YOU THAT EVERY SINGLE NETWORK NEWS PROGRAM AND NEWSPAPER WILL PRINT SOME VERSION OF THIS STORY BETWEEN NOW AND NOON TOMORROW.

The network news Sunday "talking head" programs will devote at least one segment to the 2,500 milestone. Why not mention 2,497 deaths or 2,499 dead--isn't each and every one of the losses important to their families and America?

(Remember that I respect the service and losses incurred by every member of the military, but I also hate when the media uses their demise as political fodder, so don't start E-mailing me bitching and complaining about my "insensitivity.")

By the way, why didn’t the ASSociated Press have the gonads and professional ethics to print the last line of their non- story to read like this:

“Tens of thousands of Iraqis have been killed by swarthy, stinking, wild-eyed, bearded, murdering islamo-fascist bastards…” ?

Yeah, I thought so…they'd rather imply that US forces are responsible.

What a totally useless bunch of stupid, partisan, liberal anti-Bush anti-war idiots morons they have employed at the ASSociated Press.

Don't YOU agree?
