Going to be cutting back on the cable news for a while. While I'm still getting a lot of good info, the natural tendency of the press to report the negative on this is starting to assert itself. This is particularly irritating in reporters' inane questions in interviews, as I'm sure you've noticed.

The BBC in particular is distinguishing itself as robustly anti-American, something I've been tracking for a while, on various websites, and even their own reporters (scroll down) are shocked by this. Reuters' political leanings have become a running gag for the Wall Street Journal.

Others like Scott Ritter and Eric Alterman can scarcely restrain their glee at the possibility of failure.

In any case, I'm not getting any work done, and I've got rockets to design.
