A shitload of worthless TV news shows in which a "panel of experts" debate what is happening by saying the same goddamned thing fifty fucking times in a row.

About half we can expect were scripted by the military.. remember last Desert Storm? Very well played on the government's part in feeding disinformation to the Iraqis watching CNN.

Indeed...CNN has managed to say so much and yet say so little in the past 3 hours...

MTV is interviewing musicians about their feelings on the war, if you're in the mood for a laugh.

I'm waiting for the USAF to start handing out footage from the last war to tide the media over till the main attack starts.

If the US claims are to be believed, within the next few days we will see unprecedented carnage since WWII carpet bombings.

The upcoming Oscars are gonna make me want to vomit more than usual if I watch them. Ofcourse the only reason I've watched the oscars in several years was to watch Robin Williams singing Blame Canada at the fucking Oscars. In fact I heard today Susan Surandon trying to say that her speaking out about Guantonimo Bay was what got the troops pulled out the next day(I think that was the event that she was talking about, I wasn't really paying attention).

I wouldn't call it carnage, carnage would seem to say large numbers of civilian casualties, and with the weak bellied idiotic average american, reduced casualties are what is needed. I'd call it a crushing assualt.

No actually, if US claims are believed where going to see a total opposite of area bombing.

I don't have cable, but I would be very surprised if South Park wasn't using Comedy Central to basicly flame the fuck out of the French to the world.

I doubt we will see carpet bombing, there is not a lot of need for it this time, unless a B-52 gets lucky and catches some troops in the open. The US is not going to carpet bomb the cities.
