I really liked the Al-Jazeera reporter's question this morning at the CentCom Briefing, which basically was "Why did US forces attack the Al_Jazeera building ?

A better question would have been "Why did the Iraqi Government put an anti-aircraft gun next to the Al_Jazeera building ?"

Sadly, Gen. Brooks did a really shitty job answering the question. We're gonna win the military war, but lose the international PR war.

Why can't the Islamic world do more to stabilize their own region, so we can go back to minding our own business.
Kinda tough to stabilize with the US dropping bombs in the region on a regular basis.
And who says the shrubbies have any intention of minding their own business?
