Nice little "Room clearing device!"

Yup.... they will gleefully report this news from Iraq about how many US troops have died in Iraq, but, will rarely ( if at all ) report to the American public how many of the 30 million babies were aborted since roe vs wade came into effect.

Subliminal messaging there? The MSM just can't resist, even when reporting on a completely unrelated subject.

I found that telling as well. No mention of terrorists killed. Nothing to see here, move along.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

I agree with you One Billion Quad Drillion percent on that one.

"... push harder and last longer."

Hmmm. Who else do we know who might regard those as desirable properties? Let me think....

I had a video of the test run at China Lake - but, you know, hard drive cemetary, and all that.

U.S. commanders in Iraq have asked for more of the rounds, said Lt. Col. Kevin Curry, an Army spokesman at the Pentagon, who added that early versions had already been used there in "limited numbers." Nearly 3,000 Americans were killed in the World Trade Center attack in September 2001. The "thermobaric" Hellfire AGM-114N warhead creates an intense, sustained pressure wave that can strike around corners in "caves, bunkers and hardened multi-room complexes," the manufacturer, Lockheed Martin (LMT.N: Quote, Profile, Research) Corp., said.

They just can't help it. Expect to encounter the likes of,

“Clemens (11-6) retired 17 straight before Brian Giles homered with one out in the seventh for a 2-0 lead. More than 1,870 Americans have been killed in Iraq since the war began in March 2003. It was just the eighth homer allowed this year by Clemens, who lost for only the second time on the road.”

Probably not the journalists fault. His editor probably just said "Stick this sentence in there somewhere, I don't care where, and print it."

Yup.... they will gleefully report this news from Iraq about how many US troops have died in Iraq,...

What I want to know is why they don't tell us how many terrorists our guys have killed. If they're going to report body counts they should report all sides.

There's no liberal media bias here.

[Blueflag]

I saw that as well. Had absolutely no fit in context.
