Dunno if he means Raggeh Omar or someone else....

Raggeh(?) Omar said it was a mortar that hit the hotel and it wasnt an intentional attack by the US. Confusing.

Werent the Al-Jazeera staff all turfed out of baghdad last week, or were they just ordered to stop broadcasting?

2 Jazeera Reporters were stopped from doing their work by Iraq, so Al Jazeera halted all their Iraq reporters activities in protest. After a few days the Iraqi's realised they werent doing themselves any favours so they backed down and Al Jazeera resumed.

Just seen him reporting on this, French TV captured video of the American tank firing directly at the hotel. The Americans have admitted it, but refuse to say whether it was that that caused the journalists injuries!!

Also had footage of an American tank fire directly at another building that had a cameraman on it, across the river from the hotel I think, maybe it was the Abu Dhabi TV incident its all very confusing.
 
Aye, just seen that..His earlier reports on the BBC site contained te mortar reference but i guess his opinion changed when he saw the french footage.
 
Some rumours from a dodgy source:

Saddam still alive - he had allready left the restraunt site before the strike.

The tank alleged to have fired on the journalists hotel didn't have line of site upon the impact point. It was really an Iraqi plot. Make of that what you will.

This source Debka is occaisonally right but more often wrong.
 
All the alleged WMD reports have been discounted, except the BD-21 rockets which the CentCOm General briefing on Tuesday hadn't heard of. So that story is most likely false as well.

With no reports on Tuesday there appear to be no possible or confirmed finds.
 
Maybe its like pass the parcel, and they will say there are no WMD's in Iraq cos they moved them all to Syria in advance of the war/inspectors. Instant pretext for war continued. Never before hoped Im so wrong!

Syria has WMD (CB) and thousands of missiles designed to swamp any defences. Any attack on Syria would result in huge loss of life in Israel followed by Israel nuking Syria. It just isn't going to happen.

Chiracs real friends, thugs and despots :rolleyes:
 
In the Islamic faith, showing your feet or soles of your shoe to someone is the sign of the utmost disrespect, the highest insult ever. Had he done this yesterday, he WOULD have been executed.

It really does show the hatred they have for Saddam, to do that.
