I know you don't want to defend the media, but you do want to defend you point and we respect that here!!!

Of course S&A is a part of the strategy - but what exactly IS S&A?

Only the planners know that and they are NOT telling us! The journalists may think they know, but they only know what the Pentagon has told them = zilch!

Rangers to the palaces may be okay, but only if we get good intel on SH. He has been very quiet lately....

Please remember one thing about the reporters "in Iraq" (not with the coalition). They have Minders and can not report anything which the minder does not approve of.

The embeddeds are under some constraints as to places and times (can't report actual combat stuff - common sense!). There may be some amount of censorship as well. The embeddeds are NOT however escorted to a scene hours after the fact to document the latest propaganda.

I liked Rummy's desription of the embeds."Tiny slices of a cake" We see a fire fight and think the entire army is being attacked.(I hate the press at press conferences)
