    "To be honest with ya, I don't think journalists should be (allowed) anywhere near . . . war," Wurzelbacher told other reporters in the Israeli town of Sderot. "You guys report where our troops are at, what's happening day-to-day, you make a big deal out of it. I think it's asinine.
    Yeah, covering wars is so 2008.

    "I like back in World War One and World War Two when you go to the theatre and you'd see your troops on the screen and everyone be really excited and happy for them."
    Uh......yeah....

    "Now, everyone's got an opinion," he added.
    Umm.....aren't you actually a plumber, Joe?

    Wurzelbacher added that "war is hell and if you're going to sit there and say, 'Look at this atrocity,' well, you don't know the full story behind it half the time, so I think the media should have no business in it."
    Yes, we need to trust the government more and question them less!!
    Sounds like Joe the experienced journalist doesn't like his latest gig!

    I know you believe you understand what you think I said. But I am not sure you realise that what you heard is not what I meant.
