unfortunately at work CNN is on 24 hours a day so I am forced to watch it. Fox doesn't suck at breaking news there more selective then CNN as to what breaking news is. I have seen CNN have a banner up that says "BREAKING NEWS". No breaking news.

They're called "keyboard commandos".

Actually, I like FCVs (Fierce Combat Virgins).

You cannot deny that something needs to change, and the leaders recognized that and hence the new action that you see.

Pssstt! 1) You don't know what's going on. 2) Offensive operations are not new.

surely linked to the Bremer departure. But why? Why did he have to leave for this to start?

That's a good question, one of our campus journalists had some ideas in today's school paper... but I won't go there. ;)

Counterbattery radars aren't really very new at all.

Sounds like they took out a building suspected of being a storage area/safe house for local terrorists.

Someone set them up the bomb!

What happened? Did the bot break? The title should be

"Explosions heard in Baghdad"

and it should be reposted daily.

Look out for the media obsessively asking them if they consider this "major combat" and whether they lied about the "end of major combat operations."

The deluded DUmmies are convinced this officially turns Iraq into Vietnam

Oh they think our soldiers should all join hands, throw down their weapons and sing Kumbaya. They are waiting for the Iraqi casualty list to come on so they can say Bush is a murderer.

Hmmm....there seems to be quite a bit of overlap, but not completely between the "keyboard commandos" and the "armchair war criminals" too.
