it's really sad that imus has this, cnn has this, in fact everybody but fox has this, while fox has the usual self-promoting geraldo bloviations and andrew napolitano mis-stating the law.

ah, fox now reads it off the wire, 45 minutes after everybody else broke it.

2 U.S. Soldiers Killed in Afghanistan

12/05/2001 6:52 AM EST Ap via Iwon.com

Two American soldiers were killed and 20 wounded in Afghanistan Wednesday, the Pentagon said.

An unknown number of opposition fighters also died north of the last Taliban stronghold of Kandahar. That is where opposition forces are trying to overthrow the besieged former rulers of the country, said a Pentagon spokesman, Lt. Col. Dave Lapan.

"War drew us from our homeland
In the sunlit springtime of our youth.
Those who did not come back alive remain
in perpetual springtime -- forever young --
And a part of them is with us always."

So sad, but inevitable, and President Bush has prepared us well that this could happen. I don't mind FOXNEWS waiting until deaths are confirmed by Central Command, before they report events like this.

From FOXNEWS: Historic agreement has been reached in Bonn, will determine new Afganistan leadership, which will include 2 women. The interim leader is a Pashtun commander still near Khandahar fighting with his soldiers.

Americans have a new weapon at their disposal, it's a missle, with a special tip....and it will penetrate rock.

7am and FOXNews has that good report I shared..... NBC is reporting on the unusual warm weather in the mid west and east. Record highs. Robert Hager is just over the top.....now Kevin O'Connell is being interviewed by Bob Costas about the weather.

Complain all you will that FOXNews isn't always first.....at least they aren't hyping weather at the very hour when most people flip on the tv to see what happened in the world, over night.

Fox was burned on a couple of stories a few weeks ago. They had to confirm it first. CNN still sucks.

I wonder if it was a hung bomb?
