Quite a splash on Fox at the moment:
The blue cloud of smoke, in particular, is quite something. That's an oil-filled trench on fire.
In the meantime, the good news/bad news combination is at least pointing in the right direction - and truly so. Remembering of course, that we've got the resources to win this and have every reason to do so, there's been an "ohmigod" tone to a lot of the news to date. Tonight, everything is just as scary and yet... The Seventh Cav has apparently done well against an Iraqi attack, the discovery of Iraqi gas masks, while worrying, 1) points out we're right to be doing this and 2) sends that message loud and clear to the fair-weather friends of Western Continental Europe. They can hear it or be hypocrites but we're clean.
There's been a wonderful amount of commentary on the fact that the Iraqis are war criminals, whether the anti-US rhetoric applies the term to us, and it seems that those involved in the fighting are gradually getting stronger support at home as fence-sitters realize 1) that those are our boys and 2) their doubts about how bad Saddam really was are being met with evidence he's thaaaat bad.
