5th suicide bombing 12:57 am PST. ..Fox News 1 killed, 5 injured.

Was that a human that was killed or just the terrorist?

Switched to CNN while Fox has been on yet more video (hoping Shep will come back at the top of the hour).

So there were two banners that caught my eye:

Widespread bloodshed through Iraq

7 killed

So either they are hearing a whole lot of injuries that weren't fatalities, or they have a very different view of "widespread bloodshed" b/c it sure seems like that is WAY less than people were fearing.

Anyway, given the number of "events" they seem to be reporting on, I'd say 7 isn't bad at all...7 too many, but with all these "attacks" they are hyping...seems it could have been far higher.

Yeah, that lasted a couple of minutes. Most of the airtime is rebroadcasting Al Jazeera's nuttiness and going from calamity to calamity...never finding a feel good story. AMessNBC is run by a Clintonista and Kerry is due up on Meet the Press later this morning, thus all NBCers are committed to providing "everything is going to sh*t" coverage.

Not much success. They hope to kill hundreds and there's 1 casualty? Al Zarqawi is expanding manpower on a pointless errand. Talk about dying for nothing!

FNC guy on the ground saying there have been attacks, but the insurgents have been unsucessful.

5 suicide bombs.
12 killed so far
NO US soldiers killed or injured still at this point.

I say let Kerry rant and rave. The more he talks, the more of a horse's ass he makes himself out to be.

Thank you. I have loved that picture since I first saw it 2 or 3 years ago.

Thanks for the explanation. I am glad she is in the U.S.

LOL, I hadn't thought of that, but your right, wow that IS pressure!

And they're getting weaker as the day wears on. I think now we won't see a bloodbath. Al Zarqawi may hate democracy but he's too much of a coward to sacrifice his own life to destroy it.
