What am i to believe????!!!! CBS 6:30pm est news pounding away at "Is Saddam dead or alive" and Rummy saying we are getting signs the Republican Guard will surrender as they see the futility to resist, and a big deal about Basra. And then i go to read this on BBC that is NOT mentioned on CBS 6:30pm news. <<Last Updated: Thursday, 20 March, 2003, 20:20 GMT news.bbc.co.uk Saddam's TV mission By Paul Wood BBC Middle East correspondent The will to fight of the Iraqi armed forces depends on Saddam Hussein The Iraqi President, Saddam Hussein, has again appeared on national television in pictures described as having been shot on Thursday. It seemed it is now a vital part of the Iraqi president's strategy to keep himself in the public eye. While the bombs were falling again on Baghdad during the night, many Iraqis were in the air raid shelters, listening to state radio and watching state television. In a secret location somewhere in Baghdad, President Saddam Hussein is shown sitting at a large conference table with his war cabinet, everyone wearing the olive green uniform of the Iraqi army. The newsreader said the message from the meeting was that the Iraqi people should not be deceived by foreign propaganda about their president - the message was that Saddam Hussein is still very much alive and very much in charge. 'Constant force' The news broadcast came little more than 12 hours after what the Iraqis said was an attempt to assassinate their leader by missile. We will resist the invaders Saddam Hussein Saddam Hussein's TV speech For the Iraqi President it was vital to go on television as soon as possible to give the information proving he had survived - namely the exact time and date of the attack. The will to fight of the Iraqi armed forces and the hundreds of thousands of armed members of the Baath party depends utterly on the personality of Saddam Hussein and the belief that he is still alive. He has, after all, been a constant force in the lives of Iraqis for 30 years. You cannot walk five metres in Baghdad without seeing "the photograph", as Iraqis refer to the ubiquitous portrait of their president. Throughout the day that image has been seen constantly on Iraqi television, while the radio has had a continuous programme of adulatory songs. The equation is simple - for President Saddam Hussein remaining visible to his people is vital to his fight to remain in power.>> Max.
