cordon off the probably zone from which the rocket/missile came and do a house by house search. guilty until proven innocent.

I hate these things, too. I just e-mailed a friend at Taji.

The news media usually gets hold of this stuff before I do, but I'll certainly let you know if I hear anything.

I join everyone in hoping for the best possible scenario here.

I'M over here now and have been for two years.

May God keep your brother safe, but I have a pet peeve about armchair generals. Let the troops do their work.

They don't need YOUR instructions.

Curious where you got this, I checked all the reuters links on Drudge and nothing there. Is there another site with Reuters breaking news? Did you get this from the net/TV/ or from "personal" (work) sources?
