    I'll go on my own... snore.

    What about the turkey shoot? The bombing after the Saudi excursion?

    The lie about babies tossed from hospital incubators. Lies. The 'tricks'...

    The go-ahead green light from the Miss G.? Then the family reservist,

    and all the military vehicles were pounded with aerial jets? McCaffrey?

    Remember a CNN reporter? He wore a tie (?) and covered the carnage?

    I can't remember his name. He said it was the reason he became drunk.

    He amounted to a total wreck. He lived, post a Gulf One, in DC gutters.

    He was traumatized from eye-witnessing the bloody road back to Iraq.

    Remember. The Iraqi reservist were just wish extra cash to feed family.

    The tons of bombs on a clogged road? Human's returning home? Who?

    Wasn't General McCaffrey star-military?

    A former war journalist? Is he alive/dead?

    I recall a powerful Washington Post piece.

    The former civilized reporter: Hits bottom.

    Colleagues who spoke to him said: No war.

    He self-medicated himself until near death.
