Convoy full of medicines waiting to enter Baghdad, Americans willing to let it through, Saddam says no. In many city and towns now captured by the Coalition the hospitals had been converted to mixed use facilities, usually arms depots. They were well defended. If you give the supplies to Saddam's supporters, they won't get to the hospitals. If you want to get them to the hospitals directly, it will require a significant military operation that must fit within the overall attack plan. I have no evidence that hospitals are mixed use in Baghdad but I strongly suspect that the pattern will be repeated. This is a war crime of the first order and we will hear much about it after the war. Paul

>>the Iraqi regime is refusing to accept them. I didn't know about this. Why aren't we making a big fuss about it? I think the Pentagon is trying, inter alia, but naturally it's only getting reported on Fox and MSNBC. What, do you expect the BBC to report it? They're too busy reporting that America is being led by the Zealot in Chief who is fighting this war to bring on the End Times. I kid you not. Pejman pejmanesque.com and Jeff Jarvis buzzmachine.com offer their appalled reviews. BTW, I saw they program too, and it was pretty bad. At least they had Hitchens and somebody who actually knew Bush to offer voices of sanity, but the story line was obvious and over the top, even by Beeb standards.
