A couple enemy have come out to surrender. Arnot has said that the Colonel has personally come down to make sure those civi's are safe. Someone's giving them rations! (WHAT PR!) Quite a classy PR warfare.... Way to go.

Arnot says its all being filmed via tape, so we can see it later. Arnot is describing that the girl/family has likely been held as a hostage / human sheild and has just escaped....

I read an article in the Israeli media saying that Jack Straw on BBC Radio said that Coalition forces will not attack Syria or Iran.

What a bunch of crap. Even though Syria is supplying the regime of Saddam Hussein with weapons, England goes out and states that it has no intention on using force against Syria. Well then, I guess that makes Syria feel better, and will probably increase their supplies.

What's more, let us not forget that the syrian terrorist dictator was hosted in Britain a few months ago by Tony Blair.

If you want to deal with terrorists you must have policies directed at ALL terrorists.

Saying you will not attack a terrorist state even though it is supplying weapons to an enemy of yours is stupid, even if you don't have any intentions of attacking it. That will INCREASE the aid.

Straw says he "hopes" they will not give aid to Iraq.

Give me a break.
