Looks like we got some lucky Navy and Marine people in the Middle East today.

Even if we pulled out of Iraq today and removed forces from Saudi Arabia, this kind of stuff will go on and on.

The most amazing thing about that article is it describes the damage to the warehouse but completely ignores the damage to the hospital. In fact except for the reporter mentioning the hospital at the beginning of the article, it's never mentioned again.

Had this been an American attack against terrorists in Iraq, the entire article would have been about how many women and children were murdered by the evil American Military.

It also mentions a "small crater in the street near the airport".... but I understand what you're getting at.

I think we'll both agree that all sides use the media to 'spin' a story as the need arises.
