1. CNN reported on it while Rita the barking seal on MSNBC...

... was talking about Dog Chapman being arrested.

It sounds BAD in Iraq today... REALLY BAD.

Out of the 25 injured, several of them are in emergency surgery according to the reporter they had on.

CNN has since switched to Tony Snow, but hopefully these networks will stay on this story.

2. Our troops need to come home now,

only way to stop the killing.

IMO, free Saddam and let him get his country back under control.

We never should have let this Impostor invade Iraq and begin this insanity.
