Not a single printed word killed one of our soldiers.

Now, explain to me if you think the attacks on our soldiers are an effort to win a war of attrition?

What were the strategic goals of attacking the mosque in Najaf, the NBC bureau and UN headquarters in Baghdad, and remotely harrassing our troops?

Why give interviews to Western print and television journalists in Iraq?

Take the media out of the equation and ask yourself if the tactics would stay the same.

I dunno (I'm not a raghead terrorist, sorry!). Perhaps the attacks were meant to rally the Iraqi populace against the Americans? I mean, you don't need the American media to broadcast news of an attack on a mosque - I'm sure word spread pretty quickly amongst the locals without aid of any media.

I just hope our troops continue wearing Kevlar all over. They're gonna need it for a long time, unfortunately.
