The millions of people around the world avidly following the latest news from the war in Iraq could be forgiven for becoming slightly confused in recent days.
On several occasions, reports of apparently significant developments have later had to be withdrawn or downgraded - causing great embarrassment to journalists and military officials alike.


Can you take of the these reports seriously?

I'm really getting annoyed with the media these days....

They're so bent on getting the "scoop", they fail to check the facts before they report, and only some of the time admit they were wrong in the first place...

Did anybody feel after watching the news one day this weekend, that we had over 100 deaths....because they kept saying breaking deaths and saying that their were deaths during some of the attacks. The News I can only take about an hour a day now. It seems that we are at a point where we have too much.
