How long before the absolute disaster that is Iraq

[childslibrarian]

Reaches the media? Our Philadelphia Inquirer had an excellent article on Sunday about how bad Iraq has gotten (and this from a former supporter). With daily deaths and major attacks from insurgents, when will the media pay attention?

Two good links:

4. need to send robert fisk links to everyone you know

he seems to me to be the most accurate reporter on the situation as a whole. He's able to get not just the body count, but the developing political analysis as well...

6. A big kick for this thread.

LBN reporting that a US General has been captured in Iraq...the RW's have gone rabid...terra alerts...we all ought to pay attention to the signs and pray for the poor people of Iraq.

10. Go to Latest Breaking News on DU

I'd give you the link but I'm a computer idiot.

12. Your not an idiot

your managing to type on internet forum. That means you somehow figured out how to turn the computer on and put in a URL address to get here.......so in my opinion you are a novice in my everyday standards :)!

13. No, I'm an idiot!

I should have learned how to do this long ago! :-)

11. LBN = "Latest Breaking News"

the section at DU. Click on the "Lobby" link near the top of the page, and "Latest Breaking News" is the first selection. :)
