QUAGMIRE ALERT
If it smells like bs, it's from the Boston Globe, NYT, or LAT. Smells like it to me.V

I hope you're right, but that's what Scott Nelson said just minutes ago, live, on CNN.

Some people associate casualty with KIA, ignorantly reporting them as one in the same

"Some people...ignorantly reporting..."
You're not saying the journalists are incompetent wankers, are you?!?
Goodness!

The Globe is a maggot training farm club for the NY Slimes.
They are sometimes less accurate than the NY Slimes in their zeal to go to Maggot Heaven, the NY Slimes inner circle of Wankers.

I heard the same report you did and having been scouring the net for confirmation ever since. All I find is 1 dead and some 20 injured.
Lets pray the report meant casualities not fatalities!

Look, I hope you're right that Nelson has gotten it wrong, but for goodness' sake, ease up. These guys are on the front lines, dodging bullets. They volunteered to go. Accusing them of lying and flacking for Saddam is just contemptible nonsense. You should be ashamed.

Fire fight on MSNBC right now. Just saw two of our guys hit.
To: ArcLight
You should be ashamed for defending anything the Globe, the NY Slimes publishes.
