*IRAQ: latest news and developments
- Thread starter editor

yeah, thailand has expleed iraqi embassadors and 8 tourists because of US pressure alleged intelligence.
a helicopter had gone down "accident" my arse
one us convoy was forced to retreat temporarily
bush said ' i feel sorry for the civiliians but we did tell them to leave' - if iraq is the hellhole dictatorship bush states it is, does it have US radio playing loud on every station?
the slaughter will commence and i have the same fears as RD - good post on bodycount by the way
however, the ground war will be essential and will lead to us and uk bodybags being filled, maybe this will put brakes on slightly, but i'm not holiding my breath.
over 1000 anti-war demonstrators arrested in san francisco - check bbc online news for more

Excellent post, WhiteRose, thanks for that. I didn't think there could be as many really in support as they said. I heard about Spain on radio - it seems shocking - you are prepared to play a key role in tipping USUK into war, then step back and have nothing to do with it. I'm torn between thinking that this just sucks and is hypocritical as fuck and that at least it shows the strength of public opinion in Spain (I suppose that must be the reason - wish it applied in USUK)
Thanks again, superb post.

Did you hear the report from the BBC reporter? Sounded like he was right in the firing line. One minute he thought the shells were from the British, the next the convoy was retreating rapidly. He sounded really shaken. You have to respect these war journalists, they are true heroes, bringing the news back home, and without them there could not be many anti-war arguments during conflicts either.
This convoy was on a secretive mission. It seems they were/are going after the oil-fields before the Iraqis set them alight.

Just read on BBC Teletext (that's tv info service for you non UK folk!) that the new port of Umm Qasr has been taken by the US Marines and that the "Stars and Stripes is flying high above it".
Im sure the Islamic world just loves the sight of that. Surely in the interests of looking even handed they should have hoisted both the US and Iraqi flag. Whose name are they doing this in again? To me that just looks really bad and must send out all the wrong messages.

hardly any animals were abused or killed
turkey still not opening airspace to US overflights. mainly because turkey wishes to 'introduce' troops into northern iraq against american wishes - for once i am in agreement with the US.

A generalisation too far IMHO.

8 british Royal Marines killed in a helicopter crash in the US-led assault on Iraq.
Could this be the first 8 freindly fire/botched operations casualties?
No-ones saying yet, just says helicoptor crash.
Soilders were worried at the condition of some coptors in the desert sand storms, i saw that on the BBC or ITV 24 hr news channels.

Yes people die in War, can we limit comments here to actual unfolding events?
