Just monitored on Sky News: embedded reporter says Shiites in Basra have begun, in his words, a "popular uprising" against the Saddam forces still in the city. British Army units are "pouring" artillery into the city (likely isolated areas) preparing to move in.

we alone of the world are going to free them from the most brutal and cruel dictatorship If we've any brains at all (and I think we do) we'll make sure that they have enough of a hand in it to justifiably feel that they've earned their freedom. That will breed less resentment in the long run.

NO WAY!
You have to be lying.
People can't be that stupid.

They're all exactly the same, no difference, right?In their hatred to us YES, they have the same holy book that gives them the same instructions, in their practice of the religion, no. Hezbolah, Hamas, Iran hostage crisis, highjacking if the Achille Laural(sp?), bombing of army baraks in Lebenan not to mention the American hostages taken there. Their hatred is the same.
To: Dog
Our allies the SAS are in there. They will handle everything very well.

I thought they ALL want to kill us for Allah. There have been periods of relative quiet and detente with non-Islamic neighbors, in spite of their Koran.

Oh yes, I watch Fox almost exclusively. It's only when a huge story like this breaks that I check out CNN and MSNBC to see how they're covering it.

With a rebel yell, they cried "Saddam must go!" In the midnight hour, they cried "Saddam must go!....Gotta love those Shiite rockers.

Think about this: If Iraq wanted to demoralize the US by beaming subversive propaganda disguised as legitimate cable news into the country, how different would it look from CNN?
The point is that CNN has been trying so hard to be what it considers objective, it's become unmoored from reality and has effectively assumed an anti-US position.
