#1 Sounds like this Islamic 'Tet' is quickly becoming a wash for Sadr and company... I wonder how many of the dead will prove to be Syrian and Iranian?

#2 I heard a report last night that we intercepted comms from Fallujah that were in Farsi (which is what the Iranians speak).

#4 Listening to the radio yesterday, the show had a CBS news segment. During the news, Dan "The Dem" Rather delivers an "editorial" about how things are going in Iraq, about "hard truths" and how certain people in power don't want you to know those "hard truths". Things aren't going well, he said, but in the end its up to the American people to decide.

Well, this American says: STFU DAN! I was pissed that CBS can even pretend to be an impartial news agency with him as its primary anchor is pathetic ! Thank God for the internet, Thank God for Rantburg.

#5 I was watching MSMakeMePEE and the talking head was practically panting. The "expert" was saying how this could all go out of control. Lots of sky is falling crap. These assholes want us to lose. They won't get it until the Jihadis come into their studio and shoot them.

#6 Dan is trying to be the Walter Cronkite of this Tet offensive but he doesn't have the stature, not even close.

Anyone know why this military website doesn't have a .mil designation?

#7 Rupercht: I think that the answer to your question in word "Combined." In military jargon, this means "Allied." My guess is that since this site serves more than one nation, someone made a conscious decsion to not host it on the US military network, therefore avoiding criticism of the coalition being a US-run facade. Unfortunately, you have to do these sort of contortions when dealing with a press trying to sharpshoot you for every little flaw.
