Remember the helo that crashed the same day they refused the mission? Did we ever find out why it had crashed?

5. Recent American history has been one long mishap.
Or, like Dylan almost says: "Something is mishappening, and ya don't know what it is..."

7. Bush is a "mishap".......
This "war" is a total "mishap." EVERYTHING this mis-administration does, touches, says, does, thinks about, etc. is a major mishap.

11. How many "Mishap's" does that make???
I am just so sick of listening to the media report these deaths as though they were local fender-bender traffic reports.

I heard them interview Chris Mathews who was doing a show at Camp Pendleton after he and his spouse spent the weekend in Florida, attending the luxurious wedding of Donald Trump......only the finest. Chris has the ability to perform with all the finesse of a long-time actor. His report of Marines leaving Camp Pendleton and their families for the 2nd tour of duty in Iraq.....his ability to sound and appear that it really mattered to him....you could feel the ache within his heart?????


I think Hollywood should initiate an awards night for the Media Stars, who give us their rendition of the NEWS each and every day.

13. Did anybody else just see Wolf just now?
He was talking with a Time reporter in Baghdad, trying to elicit some positive comments about the upcoming election.

Some thing about a silent majority of Sunni who want to vote. The reporter in Baghdad (Time magazine guy, can't recall his name, Mike something?) was silent for a minute then said it was impossible to verify this as they can't get out and about and interview people without protection. He then said that the insurgents control many streets and it is quite obvious the population know who the insurgents are and are protecting them.

Wolf was not a happy camper with that answer. He got off the phone with the guy as fast as possible.

Ooops, an inadvertent moment of honest reporting.

17. corporations are "conditioning america" to accept death and
limiting what impact this war has on "people".

If people were shown the war and all the deaths ...they would revolt.
