#1 Fred can you fix the single quotes? Apparently the posting system tries to do smart quotes or else doesn't understand UTF8.

#2 Operation Vigilant Resolve . . .

Just love the sound of that. Like a lullabye.

Nighty-night, Fallujah.

#3 The N.Y.T. & CNN plus NPR should unify with 'Mahdi-Media i.e., Al Jazeera News for total 'unfair & never balanced' neo-news :)

#4 Unfortunately, I think the Tet analogy (US military victory undermined by US media traitors)is going to have legs. On my commute today, one acquaintance of mine (ex-USAF, B52 bombardier, Vietnam vet) spluttered his fury at Bush for getting 20-plus men killed in the past 3 days or so. Praise be to "Puget Pravda" (aka the Seattle Post-Intelligencer)...Stalin would be proud of you, you bottom-feeding fifth-column assholes.

#5 ABC News made a bovine attempt at American defeat today. IMHO.

Go Jarinas!

#6 If the Al Q/Al Answar/baath cell (or cells) hiding in Fallujah are knocked out by this operation, it will be a great milestone. If all we get are the cannon fodder, well, that won't take care of the problem.

#7 I also think the Tet analogy will have legs, which is why folks hearing it should run with it: Tet was a military victory and a political loss because US media went wobbly. The media is going wobbly again.

The bad guys learned the lessons of history, perhaps the media should as well.
