What's funny is how all the media keep going on about 'massive bombardment', 'heavy air strikes', 'punishing attacks', etc. when in reality the US-UK air strikes are very small and limited in scope - nothing at all compared to the air war against Iraq in 1990-91 for instance.

The media is also exagerating the anti-US demonstrations in Pakistan. One jounalist confided this morning that they were expecting thousands of rabid, screaming anti-US demonstrators at a rally in one Pakistan city but only about 900 showed up.
