Check out this story in the NYTimes.

“For most of the troops in the division today, however, war was a long, dusty drive across the desert. Unlike British and marine forces to the east, the Third Division, the main armored force now engaged in the war, moved through isolated terrain and thus avoided any cities and towns.

They encountered only scattered groups of civilians, including shepherds tending camels and sheep and a tractor trailer and an orange truck that dashed across the advancing columns.”

Today, as the Iraq war begins to get really heated it has een reported that CNN has been expelled. The Iraqi regime is complaining that they were reporting falsely about the progress the U.S. and Brits had made crossing the Iraqi border.

It’s a real shame. I wa looking forward to seeing Baghdad throughtout the conflict.

I am hooked on watching the war. I am afraid that if I look away something interesting will happen.

I realize that is absurd, as the networks replay every scrap of video 100 times an hour, with full talking head analysis. Still I want to see it.

I still hope and pray this conflict ends quickly for the sake of the Iraqi people.
