The deliveries of rapidly moving steel have begun. The media is examining the heads of pins for news. Video is being replayed and replayed then replayed again. Deal with the big strokes and ignore the smaller wobbles. The first casualty of war is truth, so keep an eye out for the bigger things and let the media deal with the minutiae.
The American Big Three (CBS NBC ABC) are taking a break from the deal, while CNN is doing the 24-hour wall to wall coverage hoping for the ‘golden’ pictures from a green night scope showing balls of fire shooting up and explosions on the horizon, just like ’91 with Holliman/Arnett/Shaw. This time, with Holliman passed away, Shaw retired and Arnett not available, Nic Robertson is the point man in Baghdad for CNN.
When will the ground troops roll? Nobody knows who is talking out loud and that is the way it should be. Patience dear friends.
