#1 ABC is in New York. Peter Jennings is in New York. We don't want to bomb New York. However, Peter Jennings is Canadian. Maybe we can get his visa cancelled.

ABC in general, and Peter Jennings in particular, leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. I'm glad Jennings wasn't an "embed" - it would be hard to keep the "long knives" from being brushed across his arrogant throat. Jennings and the rest of the leftist "mobocracy" should have to do latrine duty in Mogadisiu when this is over.

#2 When you've got the ability to strike a specific target at exactly the time you intend to, it allows a much more detailed sequence of events.
We didn't take it down until it was the last uncompromised means of communications.

#3 I can put an end to this debate very quickly: every time Sammy appears on the tube he is secretly sending messages to his RG & and the other thugs (note the winking and mustache movements).
Case resolved. Good targeting fellas. Next.

#4 It's a government-owned tv station When you are at war, everything that the government owns and runs becomes a target.

#5 In an AP article from 3/25, they said that 'State television carried what it described as a message from him to tribal and clan leaders, saying, "Consider this to be the command of faith and jihad and fight them."'

Using the TV station to issue commands to fight the coalition was probably something like a strategic error...
