[Mb-civic] not good

[richard haase]

regretably theyre burning the earth to the ground ginger
thats what my instincts tell me
theyre slaughtering people
100000+ iraquis dead in this short time
their lives not to be mourned less than that of the americans
and the europeans
how in gods name is this better than saddam hussein?
seems to be the same thing more or less quantitatively

  .......there has not been one report from iraq for several days on any of the media save a brief statement on the b.b.c. that american, british and,of course, iraqi forces had commenced a new offensive...we have had lots of reports from egypt where everyone supports the elections....but nothing at all from iraq....no news coverage of falluja...civilian casualties...not a peep.....this strikes me as being very very odd....could it be that the aftermath of falluja is so horrible that the media have been barred from "above"...???...a new offensive underway with no embedded reporters !!!!.. the conotations here are extremely ominous......mad baker
