He added, "The steady stream of errors all seem to be of a nature to inflame the situation and to give heart to the terrorists."

I think the presumption that the insurgents are even watching English media is probably wrong.

After all the horrible mistakes in judgment the defense secretary has made — mistakes that have left our troops without proper backup and armor, created an inept and corrupt occupation, and confused soldiers into thinking torture was O.K. — it takes humongous gall to suggest that the problem is really the reporters.

Ole Rummy should be tarred and feathered and run out of office.

Dubai Poised to Retaliate over Ports Scrap

WASHINGTON, March 9 (UPI) -- The leaders of Dubai are poised to inflict costly retaliation if the United States quashes a seaport management acquisition, The Hill reported Thursday.

There is widespread opposition in the U.S. Congress to the $6.8 billion deal involving a management transfer from London-based P&O to Dubai Ports World despite President George Bush`s insistence it poses no threat to national security.

A source close to the deal told the Capitol Hill newspaper members of Dubai`s royal family are furious at the hostility in Washington, and retaliation from the emirate could come against deals with aircraft maker Boeing and by curtailing the docking of hundreds of U.S. commercial and Navy ships each year at its port in the United Arab Emirates.

The family-ruled sheikdom could buy as many as 50 wide-body aircraft from Boeing and Airbus during the next four years, the report said.
