Air Strike
Breaking news reports of a "massive" air strike North of Baghdad. Turned on CNN for a moment, looking like they're slipping back into a cheerleading mode. Interesting. Bet there will be lots of 1991-style footage for the Cableheads. Wonder what we blew up this time?
...Ahh, attacks on insurgents of course. A little note of skepticism from CNN's lady at the Pentagon. Apparently this is something that's just launching. Seems like maybe that's a choice, to telegraph a military operation to the stateside media.
Also being billed first as an "airstrike," maybe confirmation of what Sy Hersch has been saying?
