I do love British understatement.

The British chief of staff at the headquarters of the U.S.-led invasion force said reports of residents on the streets of Iraq (news - web sites)'s second city suggested that a popular revolt might just have started there.

And earlier today Reuters was denying the story. Now they're saying the revolt "just started" . . .

One wonders how that Al Jizzeera will spin this. I can see it now:

"Al Jazeera Exclusive

Iraqi patriots today began to riot after the colonialist British occupiers had cut water and food to the city--Already in a crisis situation since "allied" forces commenced indiscriminate carpet-bombing in civilian neighborhoods early last week. Compassionate Iraqi Army regulars were unable to control the unruly crowd's lust for American and British blood, and were compelled to use deadly force against the raging mob. British forces tripled innocent casualties by shelling the city in hopes of taking unfair advantage of an already unstable situation."

/sigh Grrrr...

You can almost see that Reuters wanted to add...
"... but in a suprise development, US troops were pushed back in utter panic..."
