You have no idea what's occurring, and you're already making some ill-informed critical comment. Our forces conduct numerous counterinsurgency operations daily, but that doesn't stop folks here from bleating how they never fight back, they're sitting ducks, etc.

They're called "keyboard commandos". And you're right, they have no idea what they're talking about.

but condemns Israel publicly whenever Israel uses these tactics against Arab terrorists.

Like we did when Israel bombed the Syrian camp? Oh, wait...

MSNBC & FOX are still on normal programming.

FOX seems to be in love with its Dayside/Talkback Live garbage too much to actually cut in on it for Breaking News.

And where is Fox News on this? They have been doing a poor job lately pulling away from regularly scheduled programs when something really breaking is happening. Hate to switch to CNN during such times, but I have no other choice to see what's happening.

Yep, we're just a bunch of ants, watching elephants battle on the distant horizon. Watching the world through a keyhole. Getting 10% of the picture if that.

>> CNN is the ONLY one covering this! MSNBC & FOX are still on normal programming. <<

Off Subject: Yep. The News isn't about news, it's about ratings.

On Subject: Praying for our troops in harms way. May our Lord watch over them and protect them from harm.

FOX sucks ass on live breakin news, they always have, it's their weak spot. I would love to see Roger Ailes improve on this.

Only a matter of time before Reuters publishes an account of a poor Baghdadi homeless child, who lived there, but is now buried in the rubble...
