Yes.

Mr Cronkite should have kept his opinion to himself about the war and just reported the news.

I know the situations were different - Goodman was shot down over Lebanon while on a mission to bomb Syrian positions in that country.

Many people thought Jesse was grandstanding; Reagan had misgivings. But he got the job done - and then didn't even get nominated.

Were you as cynical back then as you seem to be now?

I was LUI back then.

Hey! We are finally bringing Scott Speicher home. Which politicians do we thank for that?

Hey, what every happened to the F-111 that was lost when we went to bomb Ghaddafi? Did they ever come back?

Andy McNab walked his way out of Iraq, on his own, after a huge effup happened on his way to kill Iraqis..

I am very cynical.

Getting a serviceperson out of a jam is very different than what these two were into.

These two were being cute, way too cute to even bother with. Watch CURRENT and check out all the hijnks this moron was into...She seems to be always working outside the rules to get a tape.

Drive around town and find the house with the meanest dog in the yard.
Try to sneak over the fence and walk around.:eek:

Remember the incident on the SK/NK border where people were hacked to death- Panmujon?

Wanna bet that neither one admits to crossing the border?

The big, bad border guards swept down from the hills, and kidnapped them from SK territory?;)

Here. Let's do it like a Tom Clancy novel?

Two western 'journalists' cross the NK border for a story, and are seen by the NK goons. They run to the south, get fired up and killed when the NK border guards chase them into SK.
The SK guards, not knowing that the "journalists" are there and being chased, begin to fire up the NKs.

Everyone starts to shoot bigger and bigger guns until some one decides a really big bomb will solve everything.

The End.

P.S.
I remember the buffoon, Daryl Gates, who at the time was the police chief of El Lay and father of the modern day SWAT team, wanted Carter to give them the go ahead to fly to Iran and save the hostages.

Lovely thought and the same idea as journalists going to different countries and acting stupid.
