The Information Ministry could have avoided that. You ever wonder why they are so willing to lie to the Iraqi military like that? Saying things are going well? Look back at the last days of Hitler for your answer. He did the same exact thing during the final days of WWII while sequestered in his Berlin bunker. Lets hope Saddam and the Information minister have the pistol and cyanide ready. They will not get away with these lies and actions dooming their own troops alive in my opinion.

'There will be investigations I am sure' Posted by Chris on April 7, 2003 @ 12:37AM Red Cross doctors who visited southern Iraq this past week saw "incredible" levels of civilian casualties including a truckload of dismembered women and children, according to a Canadian Press news service report. Roland Huguenin, one of six International Red Cross workers in the Iraqi capital, said doctors were horrified by the casualties they found in the hospital in Hilla, about 160 kilometres south of Baghdad. "There has been an incredible number of casualties with very, very serious wounds in the region of Hilla," Huguenin said in a interview by satellite telephone. "We saw that a truck was delivering dozens of totally dismembered dead bodies of women and children. It was an awful sight. It was really very difficult to believe this was happening." Huguenin said the dead and injured in Hilla came from the village of Nasiriyah, where there has been heavy fighting between American troops and Iraqi soldiers, and appeared to be the result of "bombs, projectiles." "At this stage we cannot comment on the nature of what happened exactly at that place . . . but it was definitely a different pattern from what we had seen in Basra or Baghdad. "There will be investigations I am sure." Perhaps. alternet.org

Home » War on Iraq » War with the world? Good! Posted by Lakshmi on April 6, 2003 @ 11:47AM From today's New York Times: "Shortly after Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld issued a stark warning to Iran and Syria last week, declaring that any 'hostile acts' they committed on behalf of Iraq might prompt severe consequences, one of President Bush's closest aides stepped into the Oval Office to warn him that his unpredictable defense secretary had just raised the specter of a broader confrontation. Mr. Bush smiled a moment at the latest example of Mr. Rumsfeld's brazenness, recalled the aide. Then he said one word — 'Good' — and went back to work." alternet.org
