Some points of concern in this dirty campaign of propaganda...

(most of this is my own theorizing and should not be taken as a definite accusation)

Jury on market bombings is still out until Central command in Qatar announces its decision on market place bomb. The Qatar command has already counted and explained that all their missions of the first attack were accounted for; the second one is still under investigation.

The second market bomb, allegedly launched by the Americans, ripped a Shiite neighbourhood in Baghdad and British Intel is saying for what it is worth that Saddam has fired his Air defence Chief for the anti-aircraft rockets falling back.

Saddam is notoriously famous for deceit and surprisingly no one has so far counted 58 casualties. The media is becoming susceptible to the wiles of Saddam and the need of an independent authority to verify these claims, even our French brothers can complete the task. America is losing the war of propaganda whilst winning the battles on the ground.

For the second bombing firstly the shape of the crater is not too deep and it is too early to condemn the allies for a crime they might have not committed. We are dealing here with some of the most immoral junta, they can stoop to all levels. I anxiously wait for a full report of the Qatar central command before I can consider condemning these two bombing attacks.

These were attacks on Shiites where all the bodies were going to ‘Musa Kazim’ Mosque (the mosque of the Shi’ite Imam). It is being highlight that that Iraq is playing up to their Iranian neighbour by portraying the Shi’ites of the south as victims of American aggression.

If anyone could read Arabic and could have seen the whole scene and footage clearly one would not fail to miss that on the coffins and even the mosque where body was carried were all Shiites congregation place, this was too deliberate in my opinion, in death the propaganda by Geobelles like characters is too obvious. The similarities and design to very clear, however in war mistakes do happen if the attack was deliberate what it is just restricted to a Shiite neighbour hood, Iraqis are playing very clearly the young kinds on the block that is the western journalist, many of them have no idea the kind of footage these Iraqis are encouraging them to take. The markings on the coffin are distinguishable for the Arabic and Iranian world to see they are all . ‘;Shiites’ even Pakistanis this whole region can read the language and script on the coffins and mosques and so does the mosques the message looks like is a propaganda, read it in conjunction with the dismissal of General of ADF and the jigsaw puzzle falls in place. It is this highlighting of obvious signs that gives me a suspicion; I hate this carnage and bloodshed however the guilty party may turn out to be someone else. Lets wait and make opinion after someone has checked the remnants of the missiles.

The name of the suicide bomber was also a Shiite name, it is again a clear effort by the Iraqis to send the message to the soon-to-fall South to rise up. In a war truth is the fist victim, I wish independent verification of civilian casualties are made by at least the global media, a doctor has claimed 55 lives and any of the Iraqi soldiers in civilian dress after injury can be declared as innocent victims, on one hand suicide bombing is considered as a tool of resistance of masses and military officers in civilian dress are ready to derive the schism between Allies and civilians at large on the other these very suicide bombers who are Army officers if caught in cross fires would be depicted as civilian casualties of atrocities by allies.

Americans need to know and propagate their defence in a manner that should take into account these small subtleties. The reason I highlight them on my thread is may be someone may read it and it may be of some little help. I hope that I may be wrong and this guy called Saddam is not such big a evil. In that case my apologies..

I have made such a request however I think it important that readers pass this on to the media pundits as a question to ponder over and discuss. This is a propaganda war and Saddam is trying to burn the bridges between American and the Muslim world.
