"I think..."
"They started off at Um Qasr and got stuck, carried on up the road through the desert, took another right turn and tried to get into Basra, got stuck, took another right at Nasiriyah, got stuck…"
This is spin through and through. "Got stuck"??? Hey Mr. Fisk, this isn't pac-man. There isn't a dotted line between points A & B. War isn't a punch card.
When you realize that 19 men have tried to commit suicide at Guantanamo
- What does this prove?? 19 Al Qaida committed suicide on 9/11. Prisoners in general have an extremely high suicide rate.
" that we now know that 2 prisoners at the US base Bagram were beaten to death during interrogation"
We don't "know" this. This case is currently under investigation. BTW, did Saddam investigate the mistreatment of American POWs in 1991???
"this equates to the way America treats prisoners from Afghanistan- Mr. Bush is not the person to be teaching anyone about the Geneva Convention. "
-The is a slanderous, broad brush statement based on one incident (which is under investigation). Does Mr. Fisk truly believe this is U.S. policy?
" I think many people within the US administration were surprised to find the kinds of resistance they have in places like Nasiriyahj."
You know, one thing I think the Bush administration has shown as a characteristic, is that it dreams up moral ideas and then believes that they're all true
"I think"??? Where's the proof??? These are "journalists"??? Sheesh!
"And yet, most of the soldiers fighting in southern Iraq are actually Shiite."
-Where's the proof Mr. Fisk???
"they persuaded themselves of this Hollywood scenario of GIs driving through the streets of Iraqi cities being showered with roses …"
-Where's the proof Mr. Fisk????
"…. and certainly we're being given more information about what's been going on at the front- accurate or not- than most of the Western correspondents have been getting in Qatar."
- Huh??? What a stupid statement! NEWSFLASH - THE MARTIANS HAVE JUST LANDED ON THE NORTH POLE. (it's more news, accurate or not J)
Amy Goodman: Do you think Saddam Hussein is in control?
"Robert Fisk: Oh yes, absolutely. "
Can Fisk prove it??? Has he spoken to Saddam in person?
"…the Pentagon claims it's not him or it's his double or it was recorded 2 weeks ago"."
- This is a lie Mr. Fisk. Show me a transcript where the Pentagon said this!
"I watched this recording on television, all his television broadcasts are recordings because he's not so stupid as to do a live broadcast and get bombed by the Americans while he's doing it. "
- Saddam could drop a propaganda H-bomb by simply recording as statement naming the two captured Apache pilots. Why hasn't he Mr. Fisk?
Need I go on? Mr. Fisk is a left-wing commentator pretending to be a reporter.
