What do you expect from Mike 
Rokyo, anyhow?

Truth?  

Thunderous and rolling lies?  WHOSE thunderous and
rolling lies?  As to stories changing in the midst
of an invasion, I'm not surprised.   Any enemy is
rarely going to give you reports of what has happened
to them. <Regardless of their persuasion.>

I haven't seen anything personally in Grenada, and neither have
you.  I did see pictures of cases full of AK-47's on the
news last night.  You can't get that sort of firepower
in any gun shop, so I know that there's at least one
discrepency in your source's information.

How about...

		Thunderous and vituperitive lies?

Political lies, being made in our own country, strictly for
the purpose of buying votes?  How about the emotional congressional
attacks that we heard before there was even any report of
facts to congress?  

Yes, there are all sorts of lies, slanted information,
and partisan (as well as ideological) sniping going on,
and all of it is reported as truth.  


One deputy press secretary resigning is pretty good,
actually.  (Consider the past.)  According to the
AP story I read last night, he resigned because
of a conflict with his boss over whether or  not
it was reasonable to not permit the press to
announce in advance a surprise attack.

Frankly, I can't believe that ANY person thinks
that any military action should be announced in
advance, which is what the criticism surrounting 
the press issue is, this time.

Still waiting for the "real" truth.

Frankly, I'm amazed at Andy's willingness to make
strident, vicious, and completely biased attacks
from low ground, near high water.

Andy, why don't you mail me, and we can argue about this
in private.
