These sound like two different wars

Sounds like the same one to me. The situation is so chaotic, several outcomes are possible.

i.e the solution to the current forces in action in Iraq is a non linear equation. Lots of possible bifurcations. (nice explanatory site)

(btw do you use this stuff in Economics these days ??)

Hopefully large sections of the Republican Guard still exist yet have negotiated a ceasefire. Although military sources use words like "neutralize" and "defeated", it really means killing very large amounts of human beings. Such scenareos gave rise to the likes of Hitler and Pol Pot in the past, not a desirable solution over the longer term.

Of course my hopes are that the USA and UK prevail in all situations. Solutions to minimise the loss of life must have very large risks attached to them unfortunately.

Trust and all that stuff.

Anyway, Arab news reporters are falling out of favor too for some reason..

Al-Jazeera pares down Iraq coverage after reporters expelled

Al-Jazeera is paring down its operation inside Iraq after two of its reporters were told to stop working by the Iraqi regime.

The Arab satellite channel interrupted a regular news report to announce the order from Iraq's Information Ministry.

Iraqi-born journalist Diar al-Omari has been told to leave Baghdad while his colleague Tayseer Allouni has been barred from working.

Al-Jazeera said the ministry did not give a reason and described the move as "sudden and unjustified."

It added: "Al-Jazeera has decided to suspend until further notice the work of all its correspondents in Baghdad, Basra and Mosul, while maintaining the broadcasting of live and recorded images received from its office in Baghdad."

An earlier version of the statement had indicated the broadcaster would stop carrying live images.

Al-Jazeera representatives at the US Central Command in Qatar said about a half dozen journalists were in Iraq reporting for the station.

There was no immediate announcement of the move from Iraqi officials, who have taken similar actions against several Western networks.

Western critics have often accused Al-Jazeera of a pro-Iraqi bias in its war coverage.
