Scoop’s Views

One TV show I used to watch, and have watched since it was introduced about three years ago, The Unit, has had its current season halted, and despite pulling in high ratings before the writer’s strike, may be axed by idiots in CBS’ entertainment division.

It seems an online petition has been started in an attempt to “save” The Unit from the proverbial TV show scrap pile. Although I’m not a big fan of online petitions, I’ve seen several TV shows that were “saved” as a result of such actions by viewers. Since I already said I enjoyed the show, I will push others to sign the petition in an attempt to keep the show on-the-air.

While listening to the the Senate hearings last week on the conflict in Iraq, I became sick to my stomach by the way the politicians were demanding clear cut answers, but also by comments that were made.

Sometimes payback is slow in coming, but when it does, just remember that it will be very pointed. That seems to be what happened earlier this morning in Mogadishu when missiles were fired at a house suspected of being inhabited by al-Qaeda operatives.

If you remember the town’s name — Mogadishu — it was the site of a a 1993 battle between members of the U.S. Army Rangers and Delta Force against a local warlord, Mohammed Farrah Aidid, and his gun-toting followers.
