It's typical of leftists' minds. "If we defend ourselves, won't that make them mad at us?"

I think it's even worse than that. The CNN management privately holds the opinion that the ambushers are not an enemy, but legitimate 'freedom fighters' to be viewed as the underdog and encouraged to rally against the imperialist Bush occupation. To them, the death of 1 Saddam terrorist Baathist with innocent blood on his hands is equivalent to the death of an 18 yr old American female troop. They would argue that as occupiers, it even justifies it.

That is another matter entirely, but fits in well with the CNN MO. Just like they shilled for need-a-Baathists all during the 90's. And just like the NYT in the 20's, the thousands of dead were of little consequence to these accessories to mass murder.

I think I will buy the leftist gang a dictionary and highlight the definition of war... it's one word I don't think they know.
