not impressed by richard engel

He is being billed as a foreign policy expert but all he does is deliver opinions making it sound like he had in depth ultimate knowledge of all geopolitical issues.

He used to just be a good war correspondent reporting from conflict zones. Now it seems he has morphed into s pundit who delivers his opinion from the conflict zone instead of a studio.

That is the impression he gives me anyway.

who seem to get a thrill from being in a war zone. Martha Radditz on ABC is that way too.

I salute his courage in reporting from war zones but tonight he just seemed to want to complain.

So sick of listening to these war profiteers spout their self-serving "commentary." MSNBC has irritated my last nerve tonight with their "panel." NOT ONE person has addressed the honest truth.

P.S. Fuck you Andrea Mitchell and your buddy John "bomb bomb bomb" McCain.
