Arrrrggghhhh! Sky Guy at Kutter questioning whether we really did destroy the Baghdad division. How could we have accomplished this? Also, if it's true, then what's holding us back from storming Baghdad. And when we do, we'll see if there are enough troops and if Tommy Franks' plan was flawed.

This guy is not just covertly hostile, he is flaming!

I think the cots or beds must be lumpy at the reporters quarters in Qatar. They are sooo cranky!

The better question is, that since we know that CentCom doesn't release information until it has been thoroughly checked out and verified, why does this idiot feel compelled to question it's accurracy?

Another question would be to ask the reporter if he remembers any issues or difficulties related to his toilet training that currently impact his ability to be patient.

Every question is a "gotcha" trap. "In light of criticism of this plan by retired Generals as well as within the Pentagon, don't you think you owe the American people a expectation of the number of casualties we can expect as this goes forward with what more and more experts say is an inadequate force strength? Will it be 500, 1000, 5000, much more ... what is the number that you are willing to accept?"

Nobody is asking about what's happening with the 173rd, nobody is curious where an entire Marine division is hiding, nobody is asking about surrender overtures to the Republican Guard or the Kurdish involvement or any other informational insights. Nothing exists west or north of Baghdad. It's all about the uprisings in Basrah that haven't happened, the food and water that hasn't been delivered, the operational plan that is undermanned and ill conceived, the poor treatment of Iraqi POWs ....
