The first casualty of war is normally truth. Fortunately we have a free press who can help cut through the military propaganda (even when it comes from our side!).
I had heard a comparison last night on one of the stations as to what was hit in that cruise missle barrage of yesterday. They said what was hit, and apparently virtually obliterated, was comparable to the White House, the Capitol and the Pentagon all getting hit and destroyed within 15 minutes.
The best part was the analyst on Fox News (I think his name is Col. Hunt) who said that if we wanted to, we could have killed that guy on live TV, but we didn't because of all the reporters.
