I've heard, as far as military deployment is concerned, CMD is keeping his powder dry for another potential flashpoint that might go off soon
Iran? No
The Falklands? No
Re-invading those uppity buggers north of the border, after 'independence' 😀
On a serious note. Its terrible to hear about her death. There was a documentary made a few years back about war correspondents. basically, they're all mad as badgers!!! There was a cameraman being interviewed about Beirut. There was no running water, and gunfights going on in the street outside, but they could still order Champagne and Cocaine to be delivered to their room. Which they did
binners there was a great doc about an American war photographer - http://www.shootingrobertking.com/home.php
Basically came across as incredibly naive - almost child like. Yet somehow survived and made a career for himself.
A thread which should have been respectful of the death of two people doing a damnned fine and damned hard job in damned dangerous circumstances, all to make the world a better informed place descends in to another big hitter ARMAGEDDON! thread.
Fair comments CFH, although there's more at risk than a few journalists. 2 (brave) dead Journalists vs how many dead Syrians? How many more? The future of a great many families and even a whole country could be at stake here.
TJ has just bent his comments to suit. Shame.
I remember reading one of the John Simpson books and a family had been attacked by the christian militia in some hell hole. The father of the family was loading his injured family into a car to try and get help.
All the while John Simpson is asking questions and the photographer has his head in the car taking pictures.
At that point I wondered how you could think that asking questions is more important than trying to help.Surely its a natural human response? I doubt the piece even made the news if someone got caught shagging his secetary.

Brilliant, you were the one who came on and wilfully (I hope) misrepresented people's position on the other thread. TJ came and clarified but you're still not willing to try and understand.
You're talking Bollocks.
If we can just get over the keyboard 'how dare you twist my words' outrage for a moment;

So now the Syrian government is saying it's all their own fault they got killed by a shell fired by government forces, because they entered the country illegally 🙄
Death penalty for illegal immigrants anybody?
And remember, no outside interference is allowed unless the Russian Politburo and the Central Committe of the Chinese Communist Party say so.
