What is hard to understand is that so many 'experts' are discussing strategy on different cable stations. For example, yesterday there was news that some republican guards were moving out of Bagdad to take the fight to the Coalition forces. The subsequent discussion had those 'experts' state that that was advantageous to the Coalition as, once they were out in the open, they could be knocked off. Now if such movement is indeed beneficial to the Coalition forces why announce that in public ? There are many other instances of happenings or strategies which are publicly discussed which do not work in the Coalition's favour if disclosed. All the news channels are no doubt watched for any information. Why wouldn't the US government put a stop to such disclosures ? freealways
Galloway is a left wing nut case: British House of Common member, George Galloway, has stressed that the American- British aggression against Iraq is a brutal imperialistic action, a crime against humanity and a stigma for the UN Security Council. âTens of thousands will die and the Middle East be plunged into chaos and bloodshed,â warned George Galloway. He accused ministers of sending troops into action to defend their "lies, forgery and deception". Mr Straw dismissed this, saying such "extravagant rhetoric" would have been more convincing if Mr Galloway had not used it over military action in Afghanistan as well. As he accused the Labour government of sending troops into combat to defend their "lies, forgery and deception," he was met with cries of "shame" from his fellow MPs.
Here is another example of the stupidity which goes on in the news media. A missile was shot at Kuwait and fell just short of hitting something, instead falling into the sea. Now why let the newsmedia give away vital information ? Whoever sent it, now knows that all they need to do is to aim a little further and Bob's is your uncle. freealways
In fact, we cannot really blame the newsmedia, their job is to bring news. The idits who are to blame is the people who (mis)manage the war by not imposing more restrictions on media outlets, even going as far as shutting down all news in the neighbouring countries as well. freealways
U.S. Orders 4-6 Day Pause in Iraq Advance-Officers Reuters Saturday, March 29, 2003; 12:02 AM CENTRAL IRAQ (Reuters) - U.S. commanders have ordered a pause of between four to six days in a northwards push toward Baghdad because of supply shortages and stiff Iraqi resistance, U.S. military officers said on Saturday. They said the "operational pause," ordered on Friday, meant that advances would be put on hold while the military sorted out logistics problems with long supply lines from Kuwait. The invasion force would continue to attack Iraqi forces ahead of them with heavy air strikes during the pause, softening them up ahead of any eventual attack on Baghdad, said the officers, declining to be named. Use of gas-guzzling armored vehicles has been restricted to save fuel and food is also in short supply. In one frontline infantry unit, for instance, soldiers have had their rations cut to one meal packet a day from three. Resistance from Iraqi militias fighting in towns along the advance lines has hampered the stretched supply convoys.
This is great news. There will be a huge influx of troops and equipment completed by the end of this time. When they return to the fray they will simply destroy Sad and Insane's forces.
Attack is first such strike since invasion of Iraq began DOHA, Qatar (CNN) -- A car bomb exploded Saturday at a U.S. military checkpoint in Najaf in central Iraq, a source with U.S. Central Command said. A U.S. military officer told The Associated Press that five soldiers were killed in the bombing. According to the Central Command source, a car with two men inside detonated at a checkpoint operated by the Army's 1st Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division. The suicide bombing was the first against U.S. and British forces since the invasion of Iraq began. There have been warnings of such attacks in Iraq. ( March 29, 2003 5:11 AM EST )
