He said that the British had control of iraq prior to Saddam Hussein and they wanted to steal the oil, and now the Americans want the same thing. And you don't think his assumptions about the motives behind US policy have anything to do with his "economic progress" defense of Saddam's regime? and they cut the call off prematurely. What is your basis for this claim? ABC news has given plenty of air time to anti-Bush commentary, including incoherent protestors and ABC reporters seeking out Iraqis to counter the images of liberated Iraqis tearing down posters of Saddam. Peter Jennings has been "objective" to a fault. ... it seems to me the iraqis are putting up more of a fight than we were led to believe they would... And Saddam expects that a few scary images on the TV screen and a few reports of American casualties will be enough to turn US public sentiment against the war and against Bush. It won't, excepting a few (like you, apparently) who don't understand what American soldiers DO understand - war is risky, but sometimes necessary.
