Good Morning.

This allows us to stay abreast of the situation in general, while also providing a means of obtaining specific information.

Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A breif description of what the graphic is would help:

Nope, it was Brit to Brit ground forces. One tank to another.

Did you hear Neil Cavuto say re. the Def. Dept. briefing today that he thought the critical presstitutes were right for criticizing the military plans?

I was listening. Cavuto asked an analyst if the analyst thought the press was out line when they were questioning Donald Rumsfeld and General Myers at a press conference earlier today. The press was implying things were not going well.

Before turning it over to the analyst, Cavuto mentioned that he thought the press had it wrong. The analyst agreed, and commented on how incredibly well things have gone so far.

Cavuto's comment was a little hard to hear, so I can see how it might have been thought to be aimed the other way.
