I'm watching the BBC? documentary "Mission Accomplished" on CBC right now.
Edited on Sun Nov-07-04 11:41 PM by Swede
The reporter is with the 82nd Airborne in Sammarah. In one part he goes into the barracks where the soldiers bunk. The walls are plastered with photos of nude women from magazines. Not sure I'd see that on American tv.
In another segment he is at an Army hospital,an medic said something like "I don't want to get into trouble,but the amount of badly wounded is being covered up."
Later he goes to car bombing scene. The soldier in charge is a young pretty girl from Florida,she has no translator. She borrows the reporter's translator and tells the Iraqis to stay on the sidewalk, they can take pictures,but stay out of the way. They start to talk to her. She's so young. I could not make out her name on her helmet,but she is a lieutenant.

1. I just watched it...the hate for America shown by the Iraqi people is
scary. It's too bad this couldn't have been shown on American TV before the election...I'll bet a lot of those who voted for Bush because of his great war on terror would change their mind....Here's a link where you can read a synopsis of the documentary.

2. I depend very much on CBC to give me the straight up truths re Iraq...
and, so far, they have done so. I want to, once the stats re the election fraud perpetrated in the US are solidified, contact The Fifth Estate and also CTV's WFive with the stats and implore them to investigate the 'anomalies' which are really examples of egregious fraud perpetrated upon the US public. I hope others will do the same once we have a cohesive collection of facts!
