I detected a lot of excitement and optimism in that story - if they do get bombed, I'll bet that it doubles and triples their resolve - as it should be. But still I hope they don't too.

Thank you for the post and the ping. Pan, extra ping for your quote!

Many Iraqis feel that the international media particularly Arab satellite television channels do not provide a balanced reporting of their post-war conditions.

"We shall try to bring happiness to Iraqi households after years of gloom and isolation under Saddam Hussein," Hassan added.

Iraq-ization, ping!

 
 Thanks, Tonkin!

If you want on or off my pro-Coalition ping list, please Freepmail me. Warning: it is a high volume ping list on good days (most days are good days).

Iraqi TV will be more balanced than CNN, CBS, ABC and NBC.

She said the IBC is not going to rely solely on news. "It is going to be a versatile corporation aiming at different age groups."

Rupert Murdoch must be in town ;~)

Sounds good. They've probably never had entertainment programming before on TV.

Bravo. It will be a tremendous hit--after the torture of rapturous ballads to Saddam.
