Activist. Not a reporter. Treat all further information opined by Ware as such. Also, this:
Michael Ware has also publicly expressed his views on the war last year in an interview with Bill Maher, saying, “I've been given a front-row ticket to watch this slow-motion train wreck … I try to stay as drunk for as long as possible while I'm here … In fact, I'm drinking now.â€
UPDATE: It wasn't Ware. It was an AFP reporter. The above quote, however, still stands - not the laughter thingy, though. Dismissed.

Lets say for a second this is true, and really... I wouldn't be surprised if it is. Ware has actually been in Iraq for months, and has acutally witnessed what's going on. I don't give a rats ass if McCain is a Senator, veteran, or Jesus fucking Christ himself... the asshole lied when he said "“There are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods, today.â€
When you speak such bullshit... you get called on it. I can't wait till somebody says something like this to your retard-in-chief.

Good for Michael Ware. It's about time someone called out that charlatan. I've heard enough "straight talk" from that buffoon to last a life time.

Do you think it's right for a hack like Ware to come off as unbiased? The man has no credibility--other bloggers have been there, such as Yoni and Bill Roggio embedded with troops and even while under fire. A lot more balanced than a moron like Ware who reports from his balcony. Thanks for painting us with the same brush--you are a jackass, go back to your cowardly watering holes (Dkos and Dummies U).

And guys... embedded journalists are propaganda tools. Journalists aren't there to report the good fucking news, they're present to report the facts, and sometimes they're aren't what you would like them to be.
I don't know why I bother. You idiots don't know when you've lost a war, so how should I expect you to realize that you've lost an arguement?

You're probably a 9/11 truther. Right? Do tell.

What I'm talking about is the neo-conservatives who started this boneheaded war, and then did such a lousy job of running it. You can't blame the left for something that fought by a Republican president and congress. Those clowns have nobody to blame but themselves, and they're running around like assholes trying to point the finger at each other.
Now as for CNN... I just cited two ultra-rightwing tv personalities who spend the duration of their show editorializing... please cite anyone on CNN who has their own show, and vehemently offers a rightwing perspective on events. Go for it.

We can blame Islamofascists who destroyed the World Trade Center on 9-11, however. That's the inconvenient legacy your Clintonistas left the world to deal with after fellating themselves out of the White House.
You left that little part out.
Oh, and for the record, if you're going to blame the Bush administration for the "Republican war" (fought with American (not GOP) Troops, by the way and who all of your Democrat buddies voted for unequivocally in 2002 and 2003), then you're going to reflexively have to credit the Democrats with surrendering in Iraq and losing it.
Logic and consistency are twin bitches.
Personally, I'd rather have tried something monumental and had limited success at something like founding a fledgling democracy than become a sniveling and insecure leftwingnut paramecium like John.
Millions of freed Iraqis agree with the "neocons" and not John. The people who agree with John are a combination of terrorists, leftists, former Hussein loyalists and psychopathic head-chopping murderers who hate America, the West and Israel.
Pipe. Fire. Previous passages. Some assembly required.

Iraq didn't attack the US dummy.
The Dems may have voted for the war, but A) They assumed that Bush was telling the truth re WMDs, and B) They probably assumed that the retards knew what they were doing.
Now back to Ware... exactly why shouldn't he be pissed? Why aren't you calling McCain out on the carpet for lying about Iraq?
Oh yeah... I forgot, you're a bunch of rightwing zombies.

Now, it looks like all of this is bullshit, because Mike Ware has come out to say this in a recent interview:
GORANI: And lastly, I've got to ask you about a report there that
said that you were heckling and laughing during Senator McCain's news
conference in Baghdad. Is there any truth to that?
WARE: No, there is not, Hala. I didn't heckle. Indeed, it's been
accused that I asked mocking questions. And as you'll see, I never
even asked a question. In fact, I sat there silently.
So I'll tell you what... go find somebody who is willing to stand behind this claim rather than some nameless source, and you might have an case. Right now all you have is a cowardly smear, but then that's how you guys operate isn't it? Is this part of your John Doe manifesto? Hahahahahahaha!
Losers.

Mike Ware is a guy who spends most of his time in Iraq. He isn't some bullshit reporter embedded with the troops accepting whatever propaganda the military wants published. He goes out looking for stories, and the best you assholes can do is smear him with claims by people who won't even give their names.
Now I'm just waiting for the retards to pipe up about how the military neeeeeeeeeever would stoop to propaganda. No way! They'd never try to cover things up, or say things that weren't true about people like Jessica Lynch, or Pat Tillman. No way! They're straight up.
You guys can't handle the truth, and the truth is that America has lost the war in Iraq, and it losing the war on terror.
The reason? Cuz you thought you could win hearts and minds by throwing people in secret prisons, and invading other nations. You're as stupid as you are arrogant. Right now America deserves to go down the shitter, because as a democracy it had every chance to reject this sort of bullshit, and it didn't. There's still a chance though that people will start thinking with their heads, and not with their assholes, but not much.
A good first step is realizing that virtually everything on sites like this one is totally wrong. You guys are the George Costanzas of the internet. Try doing the opposite of what seems natural. Chances are it's the right thing to do.

At the very least when people smear like this, they should maybe try not to pick issues which can easily be countered with evidence.
How's about an apology to Mr. Ware?

So much for the self correcting blogosphere eh?
Drudged yet again. Some people never learn. Maybe because their idiots, or maybe because they just really want to believe.
Of course, both could be true.

So long as it's exactly what you want it to be. It's just too bad that reality has such a leftwing bias eh?

Denny's was more fun when it was Sambos' One could sit in a booth, enjoy your meal and watch the picketers through the window. I always considered it intertainment. Shame a free American can't name his restaurant what he chooses. Those that don't like it can always go elsewhere. Denny's has gone downhill ever since they gave into the rabble. Next the rabble will insist on no more bacon or pork chops then cry because they are not top management. The fact that they can't read or write has nothing to do with it.
