I just liked using the acronym COW...not meant to be demeaning towards the troops...just me being silly.

UT, I agree with you except for the part about the embedded reporters. I personally thought the two I was watching last night (David Bloom and Kerry Sanders of MSNBC) gave some great insight. Even though they weren't showing any real combat, it gave me a concept of what it's really like out in the middle of East Jesus (the deserts of Southern Iraq). Not to mention, David Bloom's description of what they had to go through to get into Southern Iraq from Kuwait was surprising, for I personally didn't realize it would be that tough, other than an electrical fence.

The coolest thing I saw was what appeared to be a Bedouin waving to the troops as they drove by (though it could have been an open-hand curse).
