We're talking about a matter of hours here.

Does everyone see how the news gets made here? Here we have it right in front of our eyes.

And all this comes on the heels of a report by an American commander that we will catch bin Laden by the end of the year.

This is how it gets done.

And they all refer to the same un-named sources again and again and again.

Reality manufactured right in front of you. And you can walk on it. Indeed, foreign policy will be shaped by it.
