BREAKING NEWS: Iraqi Militants Abduct GI Joe Doll
Free Republic uncovers more knee-jerk negativity in the MSM's quest to paint Iraq as the new Vietnam. Unfortunate for them and fortunate for those who love America, the GI that most news sources are claiming has been kidnapped is a doll, NOT an American soldier. The insurgents are proving they are not only cold blooded killers, but that they also have a sick sense of humor. The MSM should have done their homework, I did.... (HT to Johnny Paycheck for uncovering more media stupidity).
Update by N.E. Republican: Drudge has pictures of the actual toy in the package. Absolutely amazing! Just when you think the media can't possibly discredit itself anymore, they rush to print this bogus report!
Also, if the elections didn't show how impotent Zarqawi is, this bogus kidnapping certainly does!
Don't worry, if AP is anything like CBS, they will release a statement saying they stand by their report but if any evidence showing the report is fake comes to light they will want to be the first to break the story.
Backcountry Conservative has a good list of Bloggers covering this report.
