i would not be upset if a few errant rounds in Basra and elsewhere found their way in their general direction. their satellite deserves a laser bolt. the crap and lies they broadcast are disgusting and one sided--straight from the Ba'ath Party/ al Qaida perspective. (I get their broadcasts live)
and yet they defend themselves as 'balanced', with straight faces in slick, fluent English on Larry King's puff/softball interview show. they know that 98% of Americans do not get al Jazeera live, and that another 98% of Americans don't understand Arabic, so they hoodwink and hoodwink good!
aJ NEVER show Iraqis greeting American troops, nor do they air stories about human shields used by the Iraqis, etc. they avoid any images of American strength and victory, such as big Saddam statues and murals being defaced or destroyed. just footage of endless civilian "bomb bings" by the Coalition and how cruel the US aggressors (their words) and invaders (again their words) are. enough! blow them off the air. they run a 30 second spot on the hour with Saddam calling all arabs to "Jihad" throughout the middle east. they are a hindrance and an extension of the enemy, ergo a national security threat to our objectives and our troops' safety in the theater of War. they need to be silenced for the rest of this operation.
