    The Pentagon earlier described a “shock and awe” plan to unleash a barrage of bombs 10 times as great as in the opening days of the 1991 Gulf War. But some of the ordnance possibly earmarked for Iraq includes a new kind of weapon — the biggest in the U.S. conventional arsenal, NBC News’ Jim Miklaszewski reported Wednesday. The United States could drop a new weapon, nicknamed “the mother of all bombs.” It weighs 21,000 pounds. Like its predecessor, the “daisy cutter,” the bomb’s blast would create a huge mushroom cloud. The weapon could be used for shock value, dropped...

    Americans objecting to the anti-war rhetoric of Hollywood celebrities are no longer remaining silent, but are starting to fight back with their own grass-roots offensive. They're on the attack flooding actors, talent agencies and anti-war groups with their own thoughts on the possibility of war with Iraq, and what they think of the public stances being taken by many entertainers. Sheryl Crow: 'The best way to solve problems is to not have enemies' (photo: Hollywood.com) "These [celebrities] are abusing their stature and they need to be informed that there is a lot of America who vehemently disagrees with them," says...

    Media Research Center ^ | 2/21/03 | Un-Attributed
    ALEXANDRIA, Va. --- Media Research Center President Brent Bozell lambasted ABC News for its decision to put well-known Clinton crony and liberal apologist Rick Kaplan in charge of its war coverage, which has already proven to be hostile toward the U.S. “The man who made CNN into the ‘Clinton News Network’ will now direct ABC’s (anti-) war coverage,” Bozell said. “Both Peter Jennings and White House correspondent Terry Moran have already undermined ABC’s credibility with their continuous, often gratuitous, attacks on President Bush and the war effort. Kaplan will turn ABC News into a nightly picket-line showcase of anti-war liberals...
