Arnett & Rivera are REMOVED

[B190Captain]

Military officials were short on details about reasons for Rivera's dismissal, but according to US news reports, Rivera was told to leave Iraq after an on-air appearance during which he drew a map in the sand revealing information about US troop locations.

What a complete dumbsh*t!!

There is one dictator in Iraq and if we see closely we'll find one very close to us.
"No freedom of speech"

What a complete dumbsh*t!!

Hate to be the bearer of bad news (for some), but Heraldo was alive and well in Iraq with the 101st about 5 minutes ago.

Free speach??

Not sure if you meant what I thought, Ipilot, but free speach does NOT include offering real time intelligence to the enemy. People have been summarily executed for doing less in time of war than Geraldo did. The exact positions of troop units are operational secrets; the more the enemy knows of your position, the easier it is to kill you.

Not a freedom of speach issue. And if you really believe Bush to be a dictator, go to Iraq and see how you enjoy living under real tyranny.

From NationalReview.com (David Frum) "...There are doomsters and defeatists out there who keep insisting that the U.S. and its allies can only claim victory if they meet an ever-lengthening list of conditions:

“The allies win ONLY IF they (1) overthrow the Saddam Hussein regime and (2) find Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction and (3) do so with minimal casualties and (4) also with minimal Iraqi casualties while (5) being hailed and welcomed by the Iraqi population and (6) without upsetting Arab public opinion too much also (7) without irritating the European allies too much and now (8) without any alterations of their original plan.” In other words, allied success can be discounted if along the way the allies make any adjustment of their plans to circumstances.

If we accepted this remarkable principle, we would have to conclude that though the Allies appear to have defeated Germany and Japan reasonably decisively, they actually lost World War II on points...."
