It's so easily turned into a worldwide propaganda defeat for our troops. No matter how careful we are, it's likely to be seen on CNN and Al Jezeera as rampaging Nazi tanks driving over orphanages.

Remember how they fabricated the "Jenin Massacre" etc? Expect worse here, media treatment wise.

Exactly. would be a shame to bag some al jazeerah reporters, wouldn't it?

Response; Honestly, who gives a sh**? We've already lost the PR battle, lets win the war then let the dopes at CNN and Al Jazeera figure out how to 'splain it. I think you are correct, but I just don't see how the "world news" could attempt to make us look any worse, as much of a lie as it is.

OH MAN, HOW do you doom and gloom types ever get thru any day? Given how EVERYTHING is always a disaster waiting to happen for you guys, I am surprised you even get out of bed! OK, listen up. Jenin was based on rumor and hearsay not actual camera footage. The WHOLE world has had time to see and digest the barbaric behavior of Fallujha. Even those who were not real happy with our invasion of Iraq condemmed the behavior. That is why it was so smart of Bush to wait rather then go in guns blazing the very next day likes so many of our hard right raido talk show host were screaming. Better to do it right and do it surgical. Rather then take the words screamed out of some hard right Talk Show's host's mouth as if it were the gospel of God, I will put my trust in the smarts of the Marine Ground Commanders and the Political Savvy of GW Bush.

Let's hope the marines shoot conniving rat Arab reporters along with anyone else carrying a weapon or a camera who isn't one of ours.
