Answer: By the depressed looks on the news anchor's faces.
BINGO! They see the 2004 elections slipping away if they can't trip Bush up somewhere and their best chance is to somehow portray this as a debacle.
I think Damn Blather is on antidepressants. He acts like he is either not getting any sleep or he is just so disappointed that this war is not getting worse. He's almost catatonic.
I haven't watched a second of ABC's coverage and extremely little of NBC's so I can't comment on them except that they must be even worse than Blather.
But seeing Aaron Brown on CNN is making me steer clear of sharp objects. I'm wondering if the military has decided to take out Baghdad's propaganda tools before flying in loudspeakers that would blare Aaron Brown's nauseating voice into Baghdad 24/7 until Saddam and his henchmen either surrender, commit suicide or drift off to sleep. This could even be the reason why we are flooding the region with more troops so that we can limit the exposure to our own men to this deadly toxin by having them rotate in short shifts, making them de-tox by watching video segments of Laurie Dhue and Ann Coulter.
Bush might not be a cruel enough man to do this but I'm beginning to suspect Aaron Brown is America's secret weapon of mass destruction.
