CNN is in full tilt quagmire mode tonight.


Seems so. I found it interesting to look at the background to a lot of the Baghdad presentations. Lots of traffic and folk going about their business.

CNN had a few moments of interest when the British bunch with Fenualla Sweeny interviewed a couple of Arab journalists (Egyptian and Lebanese, i think) in which they said the Arab media had basically shot itself in the foot with its breathless reporting of the hard fight ahead for the Americans, (and the general coverage of Coalition news as only propaganda) and thus built the Arab disbelief when the Iraq regime collapsed so fast.

They also said the Arab media must reflect on the fact that they are going to be believed as little as the governments, given that CNN and all the rest is no longer in the control of the information ministers.

They also said that Arabs outside Iraq took the defeat far harder than the Iraqis who clearly were overjoyed to see the end of the monstrous regime.

All in all a shocking moment for the Arab world equal to that of the 67 War.

They also said that regimes in the area were nervous for themselves after the Iraq downfall.

I should think the US will find its influence in the area increasing.
