So far they are calling it a "target of opportunity". GWB will explain on TV in a few minutes. Mike Mullikin :beer:

CNN must be annoyed. They've been able to milk this thing for all it's worth for months - and now it looks like it will all be over in a few days. One thing I would love to hear about are the advertising and product placement deals that are part of this war. This war brought to you by Coke - it's the Real Thing. Note: this isn't a comment on the rights or wrongs of the war, rather the nature of the Media Beast. cheers, Chris Maunder

You know how they put ads on the screen that look like they are placed on the walls behind the batter during baseball games? They aren't there really, but the broadcaster somehow puts them on the screen. Anyway, I could picture them putting Coke or McDonald's ads on tanks as they race through Iraq.
