yeh.

Big primetime chat tomorrow nite at 9pm. Either gonna shove messico further down our throats or announce Iran festivities.

(CNN Student News) — September 13, 2007
They were talking about recent testimony from General David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq. Officials say Mr. Bush is ready to act on some of the general’s recommendations, and he might talk about them during a televised address tonight. The president is scheduled to speak at 9 PM, and we want to hear your opinions on what he says. So tune in tonight, and then e-mail us here at CNN Student News afterwards and tell us what you thought.

disgustingly, CNN poisons them young and out of the limelight, prob in cahoots with the NEA.

Just found this on the Blogosphere (CQ):

US Has Iranian Missile Debris After Attack

**********************************EXCERPT**********************************

The US military in Iraq has evidence from a rocket attack that they claim prove Iranian involvement in Iraq. The briefing, scheduled for tomorrow, will display the Iranian markings from a missile that killed one civilian and wounded eleven troops:

U.S. military officials in Iraq tell ABC News that a rocket used in an attack on coalition headquarters at Camp Victory Tuesday was made in Iran. Officials say the rocket, which narrowly missed its target, was fired from an area of Baghdad controlled by Shia militia leader Moqtada al Sadr.

Officials say it landed so close that it shook the windows of the al Faw Palace, which houses the operational headquarters of U.S. forces in Iraq. The top two American military officials in Iraq -- Gen. David Petraeus and Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno -- both have offices in the building. A video teleconference of senior officers was abruptly halted as officials rushed outside to see what was hit.

The attack wounded 11 coalition troops and killed one foreign worker.

It will be interesting, but more for the reaction than the fact itself. By this time, everyone concedes that Iran has been supplying and training the Mahdi army, working through Hezbollah. The use of Iranian munitions only underscores what people already know about Iranian involvement in Iraq.

Will this latest attack produce any call to bring Iran to account for its interference? At the moment, probably not. The administration wants to focus on sticking with its new strategy and isn't anxious to push for action against Iran. They will highlight the use of the munitions, but will most likely leave that as a noted data point for a future argument.
