Maybe we'll get some real news now, as opposed to the dreck they report from the bar of the Palestine Hotel.

Real news? I hope not--I don't want tactical information going out live over CNN.

Sadly, given the reports that Fallujah is mostly empty now, thanks to evacuations--I don't think we're going to completely beat the terrorists here. They've left with the other crowds.

> Maybe we'll get some real news now ...

Even on Fox, only when they shut up, leave the mic open,
and let the camera roll. Anything else is almost always
ignorance, spin, or both.

I hope the "embeds" are embedded right at the front --- in between the Marines and the DEAD!

I wonder how many IED's lie in wait in Fallujah, and how we'll deal with them. I am worried, but confident.

Did Rather request a slot so he could go????

I heard on the media that some terrorist had left -- Some way to win a war -

And I wonder if the people from CNN will run into any of their buddies they filmed taking shots at our troops - but then again, they all hide their faces(at least when the camera is on)


A lot of soldiers from WWI and WWII must be turning over and over and over -

This makes me think back to the fighting a few days before the first Fallujah pullback. Some reporter had asked a Marine officer if this was the Marines going after them full force.

"Ohhhhh, no. We're just playing patty-cake with them right now."

.....Bennett said Spinner had been assigned to Baghdad, but moved her location to prepare for the attack.

The Boston Globe also added an embed, placing reporter Anne, Barnard......

Great! So now in addition to looking after their own six, in house to house combat, our MEN have to worry whether a female inbed has fouled the wire on her microphone.

Please, just let our guys clean out the nest of cockroaches
