Where are the "embedded reporters"?
How come we aren't seeing the doors being kicked in and grunts screaming at Iraqi women and children to get on the floor, or how come we aren't seeing the dead soldiers?? Did the reporters get smart and get the hell out of dodge before they get shot?

Just heard some apologist on CNN Paula Zahns program, just report that the Bush administration has been straightforward with the American people about the war in Iraq....You've got to be kidding me, lady. Have you been on Mars for the past 3 days?..

1. They all got sent home when we "won"
You can just imagine the discussions at CNN head quarters.

"Um lets see, now that what everybody said would happen happened and there's a dispute as to weather this will turn out well or become a quagmire, I guess we'll send Blitzer home."

"Right"
