Nothing like turning on Fox News and seeing Geraldo in southern Afganistan, wearing red-tinted sunglasses, a bandana around his neck, and a black "muscle shirt." 03-puke What's worse - he's babbling in military lingo like he thinks he's an expert at it.

Maybe he has heard about a pyramid nearby and he wants to find a hidden room! What a tool.

Per CNN.com...

Quote:Fox News Channel executives and the Pentagon reached a deal Monday in which correspondent Geraldo Rivera, who raised the military's ire when he reported operational details, will leave Iraq voluntarily rather than be expelled, Pentagon officials told CNN.

U.S. military officials told CNN on Monday morning that Rivera violated the cardinal rule of war reporting by giving away crucial details of military plans during a Fox News Channel broadcast from Iraq, where the reporter was temporarily assigned to the Army's 101st Airborne Division.

In the live broadcast, Rivera told his photographer to aim the camera at the sand in front of him. Rivera then outlined a map of Iraq, and showed the relative location of Baghdad and his location with the 101st Airborne. He then showed where the 101st would be going next.

"He gave away the big-picture stuff," a senior military official told CNN. "He went down in the sand and drew where the forces are going."

Geraldo, you worthless tool. Why don't you head your *** back over to a daytime talk show where you belong. :mad:

If you're going to have reporters embedded over there, at least use some common sense and pick someone better than Geraldo. The troops over there should give him a proper hazing before he's allowed to leave. He could have been personally responsible for an entire squad getting wiped out.
