It's true. Not sure about the exact numbers but my friend yesterday who told me about marking th red x's said that the numbers were going to be shocking. that was on the ground in Bay St. Louis, MS
Not sure why they are not reporting it, maybe to keep the area from becoming too crowded with family members?
It seems the only spokesman for Mississippi has been Haley Barbour and he was crying while be interviewed.
Trent Lott spoke the first day bu hasn't been hear from again.
?????
Or maybe this "journalist" that "broke" this story is yanking everyone's chain at FR.
The MSM isn't going to want to report that more people died in a few hours here than soldiers died in Iraq in two years.
If the American people are to learn just how many American civilians can die in an "attack"...they might actually put the war losses back into the perspective they had on 9-11.
A 9-11 style tragedy on the Gulf Coast...would make the upcoming celebrations of the 2000th dead soldier in Iraq less compelling for the MSM.
In Germany, the top story today is the 640 dead Shiites from a panic in Baghdad. The German MSM does not want people to lose sight of the leftist ball.
This will "blow over" with the MSM reporting "hundreds dead". The MSM will not want a number above 1500, so the number of dead troops in Iraq will still seem high.
And think of what this does to Cindy Sheehan and her fake-grief crosses.
