PTBC J-Log

A conservative OPINION blog --with bite. OPINION by Joel Johannesen.

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

I’m Muhammad Blitzer.  You’re in the Situation Room.  Allah Akbar.

Written by Joel Johannesen on Wednesday October 28 2009 at 01:05 PM

Or as my trusty translator says, اننى blitzer محمد. أنتم في غرفة متابعة الحالة. الله اكبر.
...Or at least I think that’s the Arabic Wolf Blitzer pictured at the right side in this screen capture and that’s what he’s saying.

Or I could be wrong. (قد تكون خاطئة)

It seems CNN.com has featured a link to their “international” version in their web site re-design, but as reader Randy found out, when you click it, it takes you to their one international choice:  “CNN Arabic”.  No, not French.  Not Spanish.  Not Mandarin or Cantonese.  Not Hindi.  Not even Russian.  Just the Arabic.

HUH?!?! (See top-left)

It’s only a matter of time before the CBC drums up an Arabic website — and 5-part Passionate Eye guide to why it’s important that we all learn Arabic and embrace the Sharia, and of course conjure up a crack new comedy series called “Little CBC Tent on the Arabian Peninsula” (with the accompanying dot ca).
