London Times March 29, 2003 -- Facts are hidden behind the podium of truth
posted by A_Young at 2003-03-29 20:44

A_Young: London Times reports that many/most media stories regarding progress of the war are bullshit
seti: NEWS AT 11
A_Young: eg "On Tuesday night an ITN reporter recounted the popular uprising in Basra. It turned out to be a small exchange of fire, possibly between rival factions of President Saddam Hussein?s Baath party. The next day, a BBC man said that up to a thousand tanks and other armoured vehicles were streaming out of Basra. In fact, it was just three tanks and a handful of armoured cars."
seti: Dutch daily newspaper NRC Handelsblad had a great many anti-war anti-FUD coverage in its Saturday edition, including information on this particular event. Kinda special as the newspaper isn't exactly socialist in its thinking, to put it mildly

VOA News 29 Mar 2003 -- Suicide Car Bomb in Iraq Kills 4 US Soldiers
posted by A_Young at 2003-03-29 20:36

A_Young: 'First such attack of the war' according to VoA
A_Young: "Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan identified the suicide bomber as a junior army officer and threatened more suicide attacks. He said Iraq will use any means to kill coalition troops. Mr. Ramadan said thousands of Arab volunteers are arriving in Iraq to help the war effort."
A_Young: Also contains some extremely imprecisely reported 'casualty' figures .. no info on how the figures were attained, if they were
A_Young: Article actually only contains two pars of info relevent to title
A_Young: More info at Radio Free Europe: "Shortly after news of the attack became public, a leading Iraqi Muslim cleric, Sheikh Abdul Karim al-Mudaress, pronounced a fatwa, or religious edict, urging all Iraqi citizens to fight U.S. troops and their British allies."
A_Young: In that article, Iraqi Information Minister Muhammad Said al-Sahhaf spells out Iraqi strategy for anyone who has missed it so far: "[The Americans and the British] are like a boa snake. Now its length is more than 500 kilometers, and we are going to cut this snake into pieces."
A_Young: "Al-Sahaf also denied U.S. claims that Iraqi soldiers clad in civilian clothes are deceiving coalition troops: 'This kind of cheap propaganda, saying Iraqi military persons are disguising themselves with civilian clothes, has nothing to do with the facts and the truth.'"
seti: it only has to do with their lack of funds. we've seen the pictures of dead Iraqi soldiers on a battlefield wearing civilian shoes
A_Young: Second url also contains some news on Turkey, including more stray US missiles, as well as violence against peace protestors
A_Young: Today is officially stray US missile day

"Takoma the dolphin is Awol"
posted by lemonodor at 2003-03-29 20:19

A_Young: So long, and thanks for all the fish
A_Young: "Takoma, the Atlantic bottle-nosed dolphin, had been in Iraq for 48 hours when he went missing on his first operation to snoop out mines."
A_Young: "US officials had said that dolphins, first used in Vietnam, were a far better bet than all the technology on board the flotilla of ships."
seti: it's not so much the Americans as the Australians that actually trained these dolphins.
A_Young: "Petty Officer Whitaker could be seen yesterday patting the water, calling his name and offering his favourite fish, but there was no response."
seti: (and this work is non-lethal for de dolphins involved, they're trained to swim up to mines, drop a transmitter and then head back, I've understood)

Toronto Star 23 Mar 2003 -- [Australian] Journalist dies in suicide bombing
posted by A_Young at 2003-03-29 20:16

A_Young: "Paul Moran, a 39-year-old cameraman for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, was the first journalist to be killed in the 3-day-old U.S. and British invasion of Iraq."
A_Young: "Also killed were three fighters of the PUK, which controls the eastern part of the autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq. Twenty-four people were injured, including Australian Broadcasting Corporation reporter Eric Campbell, who suffered shrapnel wounds to the head."
A_Young: "The Paris-based media advocacy group Reporters Without Borders said in a statement that yesterday's car bombing appeared to be targeting journalists."
A_Young: "A month ago, an Ansar suicide bomber blew himself up at the nearby Halabja checkpoint, killing two PUK fighters, while a similar firefight occurred."
A_Young: This article contrasts strongly with VoA's report today of 'the first such attack of the war'

A_Young: Anyone understand what's going on in paragraph 3? Is it a typo?
A_Young: Mid east war looks soon to broaden, taking in Syrria and Iran .. Rumsfeld warns both counties, saying "We would prefer [the war] not be made more difficult by any of the neighbors."
silentfury: Next on the hit list, Syria and Iran
coderman: followed shortly by dangerous citezens and non comformists who must be "targetted down"
A_Young: Syria: "The invading forces, which are launching a blatant aggression against the Iraqi people, have not registered any accomplishments to date except demolishing civilian facilities and housing, shelling markets, hospitals, museums, food warehouses, busses and ambulances.. "
kherr: Some analysis: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/march0304.html#032803840pm
A_Young: Note Rumsfeld does not accuse the Syrian government of supplying military equipment, simply says that they will be 'held accountable' for shipments via Syria
A_Young: Full text of the speech contains some wierdness .. is this a typo: "There are some who suggest that the U.S. and its coalition partners are not destroying Iraqi cities and are not destroying the Iraqi people, and that this somehow could reflect a lack of will or a lack of determination on the part of the coalition. The opposite is true."

Wow, this is harsh - report from the scene of the market bombing that left 30-50 dead
posted by coderman at 2003-03-29 00:22

coderman: "At least 15 cars burst into flames, burning many of their occupants to death. Several men tore desperately at the doors of another flame-shrouded car in the centre of the street that had been flipped upside down by the same missile. They were forced to watch helplessly as the woman and her three children inside were cremated alive in front of them."
coderman: "The building's manager, Hishem Danoon, ran to the doorway as soon as he heard the massive explosion. "I found Ta'ar in pieces over there," he told me. His head was blown off. "That's his hand." A group of young men and a woman took me into the street and there, a scene from any horror film, was Ta'ar's hand, cut off at the wrist, his four fingers and thumb grasping a piece of iron roofing. His young colleague, Sermed, died the same instant. His bra
coderman: red and grey mess behind a burnt car. Both men worked for Danoon. So did a doorman who was also killed. "
