Jim Miklaszewski and Jack Jacobs - MSNBC

Tweedledum and Tweedledee of the war machine.

Rachel is right that there is a black hole of reportage from these airstrikes. The only word we have is the Pentagon's, that bastion of non-bias.

And if Miklaszewski got a little electrical shock every time he said "ahh" in the middle of a sentence, we wouldn't hear any more from him past his next "briefing"..

the missile fired from the ship was what she showed us. The pictures are the only pictures of what was happening in Syria. And they were the type of pictures that could have been taken anywhere at anytime.

I am not saying the attacks did not happen - just that if this is the only evidence we have it is not evidence.
