Here's what a BBC correspondent in Baghdad says... A US military spokesman at coalition Central Command said: "Our early intelligence report provides no conclusive evidence that we have caused the damage in the civilian marketplace. One possibility and high probability is that it was caused from the fallout from the regime's anti-aircraft fire." But the BBC's Andrew Gilligan in Baghdad says that explanation is "unlikely because we simply haven't heard any anti-aircraft fire in the city for the past four days". news.bbc.co.uk Since hostilities, Saddam's propaganda has been rather better than ours... in that he doesn't appear to have made nearly so many false claims. This boosts his credibility. I really have to wonder how we can lose a conflict of credibility with this dictator, who's proven himself a liar in the past... perhaps a few of our PR people should be added to the front-line forces. And used as bumpers on the tanks.
