While Networks Show Jubilant Iraqis, Americans Shoot At Anyone Who Moves 09.04.2003 [22:03]

While networks around the world are showing pictures of jubilant Iraqis, albeit in areas that have suffered most under his regime including the very poor Saddam city and the Kurds in the North, the International Red Cross says that the situation in downtown Baghdad is another story.

In a phone interview from the centre of Baghdad, Red Cross representatives said that the situation is very hostile and that the American forces are "shooting at anything that moves", including one of their own convoys. At the time of this filing, the IRC have been unable to evacuate one of their seriously injured colleagues which may prove fatal.

The streets are scattered with casualties and US soldiers are firing at anyone that tries to evacuate them. The IRC says they are shooting at their clearly marked vehicles and preventing treatment of the wounded is not only against the Geneva Convention but "unacceptable".

The situation in the city is extremely critical. Hospitals are reported to be overwhelmed by the inflow of war-wounded patients and some are without water or power. The water supply for Baghdad is becoming an issue of major concern following reports that the Qanat raw water pumping station in the north of the city has also stopped functioning.

Sounds like the Iraqi minister of information is alive and well......

[SAMWolf]

Yeah, right. I believe that report.

[m1911]

Interesting that the IRC spokesman apparently didn't want his name associated with this BS.

[Mr. K]

"Baghdad bob"..?? Is that you? How'd you find a job so fast?

[k2blader]

The IRC supports terrorists, IMNSHO.

".ru" Oh, now it makes sense.

[pollwatcher]

I guess they missed today's live report from an ABC radio embed who pointedly told how the Marines were very careful with snipers and DIDN'T return fire when they saw a family nearby.

[Eagle Eye JR]

I find this very hard to believe...someone is workin' the propaganda real hard.

[G Larry]

Maybe if the Iraqi's hadn't used Red Cresent/Cross vehicles for military/terrorist missions this problem wouldn't exist?

If there's any truth to it in the 1st place.

A Russian defense analyst wrote an interesting commentary on Russian propaganda and miscalculations regarding this war. Posted on FreeRepublic here: The Elite Feel the Heat

[Born to Conserve]

WELL? THEN DON'T MOVE!

An un-named source from inside Baghdad assures us that we cannot believe our own eyes!

 

We can expect more of this once they get all of their BS spin together.

[theDentist]

I wonder if the IRC spokesman's name is "Chelsea Clinton"?

[Ole Okie]

Hey Magoo, it's great to know that Baghdad Bob is alive and well and still spouting his great "truths".

[nanomid]

My comments never show up on their commie msg board.
All I say is "Die commie Die!".

What's wrong with that?

[Beck_isright]

This thread will self destruct in 5,4,3,2.....

[Beck_isright]

I'm suprised the almighty ZOT has not awoken from his celebrations and zapped this thread...hmmmm.....

[Beck_isright]

I think ZOT is asleep...after checking the messages out on that .ru board, it makes DU look positively conservative....
