Surreal news, laugh or cry?

Yep, they'd probably like the spin to be that everything's going smoothly, and don't want too much talk about a clusterfuk that's dangerous on several levels.

Cruise missiles, Bombers, cluster bombs => weapons without the smell of war. But when the real man to man fighting begins the Iraqi are playing foul game. The Iraqi are just defending their country by all means. All means do include "using ruses and deception". What had they expected? Tank Battles by the book?

The script called for the Iraqis to roll over like happy puppies when the US forces showed up. Looks like--surprise, surprise--there's some resistance. And our soldiers are dying. Not what the Bush regime had in mind, is it?

I saw a brief snippet of Bush groping for words, as he's wont to do, on TV this morning. Speaking of scripts, he sure seemed to need one. It was painful to watch...

And so far - where are the WMD? And if they're now really bombing Baghdad - will they report civilian casualties? Al Jazeera is reporting, and of course they have their own particular bias - but to say they are not abiding by the Geneva Convention by publishing what they're publishing - truly mind-boggling.

Nothing is surreal in the real life.

Well, there is real life, and then there is surreal. A disconnect by the very definition.

Yes, let's not forget that people are dying right now. Their suffering is all too real...
