I had to assume that someone as esteemed as Eason Jordan of CNN was telling the truth, so I asked a number of troops why they target reporters. The common answers given happened to be ten in number, so:
THE TOP TEN REASONS GIVEN BY U.S. TROOPS FOR TARGETING REPORTERS
10. “A bullet is just the same as saying, ‘No comment.'”
9. “One person’s Reuters reporter is another person’s terrorist.”
8. “It’s a common sentiment among Marines that the coverage of the Michael Jackson trial is particularly slanted.”
7. “Those cameras look quite a bit like a rocket launchers… you know, if you squint a bit and ignore the reflection off the lens.”
6. “Running out of other targets.”
5. “Actually targeting any anti-American wackos, but reporters just happen to be the most available examples.”
4. “One asked me what kind of tree I would be, and I didn’t take a liking to it.”
3. “Was cleaning the tank and it accidentally went off. What of it?”
2. “They were unable to answer who won the last World Series, so I assumed them to be Soviet spies.”
And the number one reason given by U.S. troops for targeting reporters–
“They’re reporters.”
Excellent Frank.And numbers 9 and 2 have more truth than some folks realize. 😉
First!
Mucho Funny!
1st?
haha best ever
aww…I type too slow
im slow 🙁 still best ever
You forgot one:
It’s fun to watch reporters scramble for cover because they scream and run like little girls.
“Was cleaning the tank and it accidentally went off. What of it?”
Yeah! That happens to me all the time!
Uhmm…I mean…nevermind.
Ahahaha…
“Nuke the Whales!”
“Nuke the whales?”
“I dunno. Gotta nuke something.”
Hahaha, “bomb the Arabs and take their oil! Bomb the Indians and take their casinos!”

Yes, kill anybody who thinks the Yankees won the last World Series!!!
Side Note: the number one reason given by military from Texas:
“They needed killin'”
Wouldn’t Russian spies make sure to know who won the World Series just in case they’re ever asked? Heck, I don’t know who won the Series–except last year, of course, because the Sox finally won. Go Sox!
“Now, hop on one foot, while juggling three balls and singing the French National Anthem.”
“Gosh your drunk tests are hard!”
from the Man with Two Brains…I think.
Good stuff!
This is possible one of your best ever…my laughter did insight a lot of lefties in my dorm to come and read it….their reactions were almost as funny as the post itself!
“A BULLET IS THE SAME AS NO COMMENT” that hurt my ribs i laughed so hard.
HA! I also like “they needed killin'” Gosh durned reporters.
I happen to have the 10 rules for the reporters’ targetting of the military with negative stories:
CNN targeting US Military
According to Eason Jordan, it was all a misunderstanding. They are supposed to be targetting terrorists with negative stories, but keep mistaking the US Military for terrorists. See?
Wow!! The funny is on today!! Those are all hilarious!!
NO COMMENT! LOL I love it.
Frank J. just needed SarahK close to get his mind back on his funny. 🙂
I don’t understand what Jordan is talking about. I thought everyone knew it was OK to target journalists. what gives?
OMG Frank, I needed some serious funny today and as usual, you’ve come through for me! I love #s 8 and 9.
All good IMAO readers know that this came straight from the top! The SecDef not only OK’d the targets, he personally trained the troops in live fire drills. OORAAH!
reporters need to be killed because most of them are red sox fans. it was the lunar eclipse that did it; it blocked the curse. well, there wont be another one of those this year, that’s for sure; we will nuke the goddam moon out of existence if it tries to interfere with another yankee victory this year…so watch out, ayatollah khameini and kim jong il; you’re not kidding new yorkers, you know. we know you bastards are red sox fans too. see if we dont nuke your asses off the face of the earth just for hoohahs this year.
Al-Qaeda, Al-Jazeera…who can keep track?
Very good!!!
You forgot one though:
Well, we couldn’t find any trial lawyers…
Reporter…rhymes with target. Well almost does. Yer pal Bullseye
Number 5 would be hilarious if it wasn’t true (mostly).

MSM Reporters are (in my opinion of most of them) nothing more than the propaganda arm of the terrorists! I won’t give them the time of day because it would be taken out of context. But I won’t target them either (even though it would help the cause of spreading real freedom and democracy to the people of the world.) All they do is fuel the evil cause of terrorism (to destroy freedom,) all in the name of leftwing (demoncrat) partisanship! What has Saddam and the terrorists (aka “freedom…haha…fighters) done to help these people? Why does the MSM refuse to report what great strides we (U.S. soldiers) have made in increasing the standard of living and value of life in these parts? It’s all about looney leftwing (demoncrat) partisanship. They lost the election because they don’t stand for anything worth a sh**. HOOOOOOAAAAHHH
