I need my NEWS!!

I logged into Sky News first thing this morning at work. The news from overnight was tinged with sadness (loss of coalition forces in non-combat incidents) and success. The coalition troops are advancing superbly throughout the country. According to sources, the port city of Umm Qasr has been “captured” by the mighty US Marines. Well done, boys and girls.

I am nervous at the quick progress the coalition forces are making. It seems almost ‘too’ easy. I can’t shake the feeling that some sort of trap has been set and is awaiting our brave troops. Has the Iraqi serpent been be-headed? Nobody seems to know…. (Don’t mind my paranoia - this happens about once a month….)

As news filtered through the Internet community that Operation Shock and Awe was about to commence, Sky News’ server crashed and I lost my connection to live news.

I was forced to visit the lunchroom and watch CNN’s coverage.
