Sad thing is that the first thing that came into my head was pipe bombs.

^ Thanks

Another one.


What an idiot. Some great quotes where he outdoes himself.

"I'll be honest with you I don't think journalists should be anywhere allowed war" He can't even form a coherant sentence.

"You guys don't know the whole story so I don't think you should be reporting on it"

"I liked back in WW1 or WW2 when you'd go to the theatre and you'd see your troops on the screen and everyone would be excited and happy for them, now everyones got an opinion"

To recap:

He's there as a journalist that doesn't think journalists should be there because they don't know the whole story (which is the reason why they are there). Things were better off in the WWs when the full story was shown in theatres and everyone was happy.

In his opinion there are too many people with opinions.

I also like this line about the soldiers in the WWI and WWII: "Everyone was real excited and happy for them".

Nothing is worse than this line.

You think Iraq is better off now than before we invaded, and don’t understand why they’re so ungrateful.
I don't get why you're quoting that.

Inherent arrogance that sums up the whole list.

I get that it's arrogant, but it's a also very ambiguous statement when taken out of context.

Are you saying that you're offended by the statement, because you believe that Iraq is better after the US invaded it... or... ?

Any list of loathesome people that doesn't include Nancy Grace is just a list of slightly annoying people.

When we invade the USA we're bringing bacon, beer and doughnuts. It'll be the only war ever where the military idiom of: "They'll be happy to see us and will greet us as liberators," ever comes true.
