Goodness... they are sure making it difficult on our allies. We are staunch and strong in our resolve (most of us anyways
) but I wonder how long our allies will hold up?

And let the FIRST "MOABs" fall upon Al-Jazeera, Al-Arabiya, and all the other anti-coalition newsblabs.
Think about it...the terrorists contact these organs, set them up and have their cameras on line BEFORE committing their misdeeds. This, IMHO, places the "newsgroups" that benefit from this squarely in the "aid-and-abet" classification.
