one cruise missile admitted to have landed in Turkey
they are very fallible when they dont work as designed

I hear you, Tex
but I can assure you that more civilians are dead from our bombing than US soldiers
such is considered very acceptable collateral damage, which "we consider expected in order for our forces to achieve their objective"
(words spoken from DOD press secretary earlier tonight)

if you believe that embedded journalists will get the full story, then you must also believe in the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, the Boston Celtic Leprechaun, and the Marharaji of Mahesh Yogi
I have not seen any embedded reporters showing cilivian deaths in Basra
there must be at least 100-200 of those
embedded reporters are place carefully behind the front lines

I eagerly await the first LIVE telecast of a reporter getting his head blown off !!!
not a desire, just an expectation which I await
it will happen, it will be horrible

over the weekend, I said it is just a matter of time before a school or hospital is bombed, either by an errant bomb or by Saddam's boys
now we have it, with the Baghdad marketplace
the argument and protests will rage on

THE TRUTH DOES NOT MATTER, ONLY THE DEATHS MATTER
we Americans like to think in terms of truth
we do not define nor dictate the reality of perception and perceived truth

after a while, the reasons for invading in the first place, whether contrived, whether falsified by Bush & Rumsfeld & Powell, it will not matter
later, only deaths on each side will matter
