  • Thanks, I didn't know that story was going to get so big.

    There have been a number of those where the US story clashes wildly with reports on the ground. Sometimes one is right, sometimes the other, but in almost every case, it has turned out to be meaningful later.

    Right now, I'm still waiting on some sort of resolution as to who kidnapped and killed the 5 soldiers in Karbala about a month ago.
