News blackout!

[msru]

I wonder how many baby milk factories have been destroyed? (Remember CNN and Desert Storm in '91?)

[IYAS9YAS]

That's under "Deaths caused by Saddam", not us.

[CatOwner]

"The only "Civilian" deaths I am interested in is Saddam and Sons, owners of their Destruction Company."

I was thinking something along the same lines. All we need is for that single death to be the "right" person.

[ZULU]

You can't make an omlette without breaking eggs.

As long as we are not targeting civilians, the court of world opinion has only Saddam to blame.

[FBD]

WINNING BIG!

[Illbay]

Ho, ho, hey, hey

THAT'S how many babies we killed today!

[Heff]

Whne those numbers reach 9/11 numbers, maybe we should take a look at it.

[COBOL2Java]

Was that 33 human shields?

[MrTed]

How many of these injured or the one death were caused by the AAA rounds fired by Iraqi air defense units? All those rounds going up do come back down.

The Jersey Turnpike is probably more dangerous over a 5 day period...

1 civilian death and 32 injuries to this point. Incredibly good news!!

In Baghdad as opposed to all of Iraq. Very good news indeed!

[American Blood]

LOL! I have no doubt that is a correct assessment!

[oceanperch]

Another reason they bomb at night.

[Dr. Frank fan]

That's an amazingly small number.

[RooRoobird14]

Actually, you raise an excellent point: The same anti-American Clymers who claim to care about "innocent civilians" don't give a rat's @ss about the 3600 unborn babies aborted every day in the U.S. If we were talking about unborn mice or chickens, they would care.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Isn't it the Red Crescent in Baghdad?

[American Blood]

Good question. I thought the same thing when I heard the report. Fox news reported it as the Red Cross.

[oceanperch]

cute graphic

[EaglesUpForever]

OK, that's good news, from one angle. Nobody wants civilian deaths. But it's also setting us up to make coming news seem that much worse: Saddam and his buddies have zero qualms about using human shields. It is inevitable that civilian casualties increase dramatically.
