Translated Arab news report about British incident in Basra - (VIDEO)

Video - Arab news report about British incident in Basra

This translated news report from United Arab Emirates does a pretty good job of piecing together the events surrounding a conflict between the Basra police and "undercover" British soldiers.

8. Even if the "coalition of the illing" has an excuse for this, will anybody
other than Rush believe it? Certainly, the Iraqis won't.

10. American "news" is starting to leave out the part about
the British disguises and the weapons they had. Which does lead one to ask what kind of "task" were they trying to achieve as the announcer from the Arab news report wondered. Even Tom Hartman on AAR left that out when reporting the incident.

14. The clip is from Link TV
Link TV carries a show called "Mosaic". It has daily translated mid-east "highlights" from State and independent media sources.

They always have footage and details left out by Western corporate media sources.

12. Soldiers operating in civilian clothes are considered SPIES.
and according to military code can be executed for that reason alone.

They shot their way through a checkpoint, WTF.

I've heard a lot of theories--they're agents provocateurs, they're organizing death squads.

None of it makes much sense. Why didn't the Brits just ASK for the guys back?
