propaganda

[Tolls]

If you look at the clip on the CNN site you'll see that the two guys come up waving a white flag and are then searched and sent to the rear with their hands on their head...

amazing! two men decided to get the hell out of iraq and save themselves from the "freedom campaign". even more amazing is that they were wise to get a white flag to avoid being shot. very important news....

[Tolls]

Well....there isn't a great deal of footage of Iraqis surrendering, so have to use what's available.

As for important...most of the news coming out isn't important. We aren't being told the important stuff, and won't be for some time yet.

That looks almost like a cartoon with the white flag.

That's the footage I was referring to, Alexnm.

The footage of surrendered Iraqis walking in a line contained no more than twelve of them. Not only have we yet to see mass surrenders, we've yet to see the few hundred prisoners taken so far.

You want propaganda? just watch the pentagon briefings.


Someone asked Ari how Bush feels about the inevitable innocent casualties and he had the gull to say "let us not forget 9/11"

Speilburg is jealous

I've just seen footage of about 50 Iraqi prisoners. So they're probably surrendering in quite large numbers.

They're surrendering to brits, btw. The soldier's accent was definitely british.

Of course all that may well have been fake, like the Iraqis claim, but I bet they're real.

Iraq accused the "coalition of the willing" of planting the mass surrender story.
