1. I heard this on NPR this morning

then turned on the TV expecting it to dominate all the news channels.

But I had to wait through Oscar fashions, some development in the Michael Jackson case, something about Martha Stewart, and BTK killer stuff before they even mentioned it. I'm talking about all channels.

2. Ayup...have to keep the real news at the top of the list, eh?

3. Oh com'on Iraq is oh so last week!

[Cocoa]

4. all the whores got the memo

literally, I mean.

I mean that in all probability White House and Pentagon PR people contacted network exectutives and the executives contacted on-air "talent" on how to handle this.

11. lol, I like that.

one of the scariest things about Rove and the media happened around the time the statue fell.

I recall seeing on C-span on a Sunday night Rove give a speech where he said that he wanted to see the intense coverage of the war to stop. He said they should start talking about the war like it's over.

And I vividly remember that on that Wednesday, all the cable channels abruptly took down their "Target Iraq" or "War in Iraq" graphics and turned back to Laci Peterson or whatever the story was. It was very sudden.

5. More blood on Bush's hands (ntxt)

[lebkuchen]

8. Prevailing military viewpoint: Saddam would have killed them anyway

so what difference does it make?

[phusion]

9. Very sad...

Why aren't we training Iraqi police and military outside of the country and then bussing them in?

They are and have been sitting ducks for the insurgency...It's a wonder anyone signs up for training anymore.

10. very sad . how long does this have to continue .....

can't the US forces give those guys the same
level of protection it offers it's soldiers....

12. death is so common over there, do people just get used to it? n/t

[Disturbed]

13. I'm trying to imagine if this was happening..

in the U.S. but I cannot. Maybe people get numb.

[BadGimp]

[Zerex71]

17. But, but, but, but

[Just Me]

18. My heel,...love it or hate it!!!!

[NIGHT TRIPPER]

19. no hope to dominate the oil flow-not without a daily price in blood flow

Enough denial.
Enough lies.
Enough lost lives.
Corporate goals are not in the best interest of
citizens of any country
anywhere in the world.

Let the people come before the profit.
