Boy, the execs at CNN must be rending their clothes by now...

you know they were hoping for Gulf War Redux. They are laming out with all of these stupid interviews by Mr. Lemon-ade with all of the 'what-ifs' etc. It is just boring and useless

Frankly, they don't have Peter Arnett and they don't have any credibility left, particularly after the inability of the network to figure out what a Supreme Court decision meant to "Obamacare" or John King, who seems to have disappeared, who really fumbled the ball in the Boston Marathon bombing.

They will never ever regain their stature.

Time to relax...and watch the tail end of Die Hard 3....

the war because we're going to miss the music? Tease us with the graphics so we'll be salivating for the first bombing raid? It might help the war effort...good idea!

Though I admit, Parlaiment threw a nice wrench and POTUS surprised me. I was not expecting it.

Thank you Parlaiment. Now let's wait for Congress.

and happened to turn on CNN (I haven't had a TV service in years at home) and it was all "countdown to war" kind of shit. It was EXACTLY the same thing as the Gulf War. They were salivating at the prospect . . . all for the sake of ratings. I swear the more I watched TV this last week, the more I appreciate no TV at home. I SO don't miss it.
