MSNBC was made fun of because I reported that NBC had said they would show no live action of our ground troops and would only show the tape that had been cleared by CENTCOM

Ouch. Looks like I may have sold MSNBC short in this instance; I hadn't heard about the news blackout when I replied to your post earlier.

I stand corrected and humbly apologize.

"It's very hard for anybody to understand this," he said. "It can only be understood in terms of the depth of repression here."


Maybe the Gwen Ifills of the world will finally get the message!</sarcasm>

May be a first. I hadn't heard of subs being involved before. Where did you hear this?

Palestinian terrorist killed in U.S. missile strike in Iraq

Why hill, if he had of been where he belong, in the Palestinian territory then he would not have been killed by an American bomb, he would have been killed by an Israli bomb. Its all his fault.

Last night they fired cruise missile from American subs -- guess it make sense that the Brits are getting their chance now. Guess cruise missiles are flying pretty low when they travel and can imagine any Iraqi's seeing them go over are now waving the white flag.

I didn't think Brits had subs that could launch cruise missiles. All of our attack subs have cruise missiles.

No one from the Bush admin. said we were playing with Tariq, that was a personal observation.

Yesterday, we told the world he had defected to Turkey - to smoke him out when he of course was forced to deny it in public. Today, we hit his building in Baghdad. Others claimed he may have been at the place we targetted last night.

Why Tariq? He claims to be a Christian yet defends and aids one of the nastiest characters in human history would be my reason.
