#1 I wonder if the "insurgents" are still carrying away the bodies of their dead and wounded in an attempt to maintain the myth of invulnerability?

#2 Two planes, each carrying around 90 bloodied and broken troops, were expected Thursday at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany.

WTF? I'm not usually a press in agin us type, but that's just damn near makes me want to break out a pipe wrench.

#3 I'm not making this up. I hope someone else saw this interview this morning (11-11-04) on NBC Today's Show.

Matt Lauer asked General Richard Myers to comment on "reports" that to date, only "72 insurgents" had been confirmed "killed" in Falujah. Myers remained calm and softly advised Matt Lauer that he had reason to believe the number of insurgents "killed" exceeded 72 persons. The General went on to advise he didn't wish to get into a "numbers game" with the media.

#6 Put Katie with the Marines. Let her elarn the real world at the hands of people who live in it. and subdue it.

Who knows, she may even get a "pity" boink or two from a real man out of the deal over there (instead of some NY writer or TV guy).
