1.3VStall

It shouldnt really matter what picture he stands in front of,I am more interested in what he says not where he stands (and it was a good picture from what I could see) but with Buff its just another gaff to add to a growing list.

And to add insult to injury it was a French aircraft

The year is 2025
A father and his little boy are walking through Manhattan.
The father points out a site and says " Son, that's where the World
Trade Center used to be".
The little boy asks " Daddy what's the World Trade Center?"
The father says" They were the two largest office towers in the world
until they were destroyed in 2001 when the Arabs flew some airliners
into them".
The little boy thinks for a minute and says " Daddy......what's an Arab?"

What does Osama bin Laden and General Custer have in common?

They both want to know where those Tomahawks are coming from!

BREAKING NEWS from CNN.com
Latest news reports advise that a cell of 4 terrorists has been operating in Merseyside, Liverpool. Police advised earlier today that 3 of the 4 have been detained.
The Merseyside Regional Police Commissioner stated that the terrorists Bin Sleepin, Bin Drinkin and Bin Fightin have been arrested on immigration issues.
The Police advise further that they can find no one fitting the description of the fourth cell member, Bin Workin, in the area. Police are confident that anyone who looks like Workin will be very easy to spot in the community.

Jointery Boy: Think you forgot "Hamas' Heroes" Hamas and the boys fool the stupid Israeli prison camp commander again and send the agent they have been hiding back to Saudi.

Sorry it isn't near as good as your's but imitation is the sincerest form etc etc etc.


Good luck to all, kick some bad guys, safely and accurately like the real professionals you are.

Just got in from work...early am (blah- not looking for sympathy) but the so called "EXPERTS" on the news have really (finally) started to p~ss me off!
Thoughts for these experts:
1. If you got rid of that swanky saville Row suit and popped on some Flying Overalls or Cmbat Soldier 95 and did our job would you be happy to hypotheise if it was your a@se in theatre?
2. Have you ever been closer to the forces than Staff College demo days?
If not, then for Pete's sake shut up! Have the press/experts forgotten that it was them that informed the Argentinians that 2 Para were about to attack Goose Green or that the reason that Skyhawk bombs didn't go bang when they hit our ships was because the fusing was wrong for a low level attack? If you are too young to remember, then I'm sorry, but this is what the press did.
With 24 Hour news these days, there is plenty of time for any number of "experts" to give away at least some of the plans/tactics that we have. I'll bet the Taliban watch this Satellte TV with interest.

HEY PRESS! By all means comment on past events, but please stop second guessing... You will only put coalition service people at risk (not yourselves of course?!!).

Agree with you mate! Some idiot on CNN was describing how anthrax spores "...had been milled to ****, the optimum size for ingestion". Why not just "anthrax spores had been discovered which had clearly been prepared in a way calculated to be effectively ingested"? AR$E!!

I remember the fool who talked about Argentinian UXBs; at least on board Uncle Spam's war canoes the 'pool reporters' hav seemingly been kept in check.

Generalisations seldom do much good to anyone, beyond spoiling relations between groups of people who could otherwise be useful to each other.

Yes there are stupid, insensitive, careless and unthinking oafs in my profession (and a few in yours, too!) and they should be reined in, but can we please try and avoid the temptation to treat all journos and commentators as though they were a heterogeneous group?

Some of us have feelings, you know. Not me, but some of us.

Incidentally, those journos who've been reporting from Pakistan have probably been in more immediate danger in the last week than most of those posting here. The food and water out there......

Jacko...
Agreed, my beef was with the speculation merchants and I didn't mean tar all journalists with the same brush. Reporters in theatre are doing a sterling job and their contribution to the overall balanced picture is essential. The public has a right to know what's happening...it just worries me that if you watch discussions by "experts" on the news for long enough, lots of pieces of the jigsaw can start to fall into place.
Regards to all real, hard working journalists!
