Iraqui minister for dis-information plea !!
Discussion
Please please dont kill this guy. He could host a late night show any day of the week. With all the killing and destruction his reports never fail to raise a smile. He is in a class of his own!
I think he is trying not to laugh at his own comments more than a smile.
Yes we have crushed the Infidles and they are now retreating out of Baghdad
camera turns to other side of river and you see the allies tanks advancing. BB
Could host 'you've been framed' by Soddam whos nowhere to be seen.

the latest one shows him reading from notes provide by SH (he's the guy waiting for his bill in the restaurant with the low ceiling remember) the notes have no writing on them which is a minor irrelavence cos he aint wearing his glasses.
On a darker note this muppet is a member of the Ba'ath party and has been up to all sorts of sadism and nastiness

allegedly!
I'm in Qatar at the moment and have all the Arab channels at my hotel. The coverage here is very up close and personal. It's the vocabulary of the Minister and the titles he gives the "intruders" which kills me. "That villan Colin Powell" and "criminal Jr Bush" are personal favourites.
Saw some surreal footage of U.S troops faffing about with a shoulder rocket launcher for 10 mins whilst trying to blow up a building full of the opposition. Very strange seeing men/boys of the U.S forces who had obviously never been in conflict organise and execute a strike. After 10 minutes of screaming and swearing and one failed launcher they took the shot. Silence(apart from the hiss of the rocket). "Yeah, got that M.F". "He flew 200m in the air and the others have got to do dead". Watching the build up before people are going to be killed is very disturbing. Funny how they don't cover these things in the UK and US.
Oh, they are showing Falcon Crest now. A little behind here me thinks.

They are - but these things happen when you are under pressure.
Anyone that waits around for 10 minutes while someone is sorting out their rocket launcher deserves whatever they get when the lads finally get it sorted (including said delivery into the stratosphere)...

I think in the environment, you develop a level of callousness to cope with how horrifying it is. I'm sure these guys have seen a lot of bodies blow up and come across their dead comrades knowing they could be next. I have to admit I laughed when I saw on www.cnn.com some graffitti that said "Hi Mom!" over a saddam hussein mural. My first thought was: I don't think they're supposed to be doing that. 
Seems like a lot of them are right out of boot camp and basically still kids.
Seems like a lot of them are right out of boot camp and basically still kids. True. It's just strange really seeing behind the scenes.
Alot of the guys out here are kids. If I were in a situation where my life could end at any moment I would probably be pumped up(excuse the term) too.
Probably going to start an argument with this one but....... I wish those F*in' reporters would p155 off. When I saw coverage in the States you had reporters crawling up next to soldiers who were actively sniping and asking them the most absurb questions! It amazes me that they are allowed so close. Surely this takes the soldiers attention away from the task at hand? As for the Palistine hotel being fired apon. Bloody hell the city is at war! People are dying everywhere! It is not a safe place to be yet the reporters are amazed when the building gets hit. The press pass does not make them invincible.
IMO the press should be kept back and not let loose in the war zone to disrupt things. Of course the war must be covered but they have turned it into some sort of soap opera.

Totally agree, that the press should be kept at arms distance in a war. They get so upset when they come under fire and panic, it's laughable as they are a bunch of cowards regardless of how they try to portray themselves as being heros. You only have to look at some of the footage that they have broadcast over the last few weeks to see them diving for cover conpared to the troops in the ground.
