3. RESISTANCE IN IRAQ CONTINUES
NPR
was the only
media
outlet (on April 28)
which reported new fighting
in Mosul. It said
U.S.
forces had come under
"heavy fire" there without
giving details.
NEW TREND COMMENT: TV channels have reported
some people celebrating
President Saddam Hussain's 66th anniversary. It
must have been quite
widespread to have received a little coverage on
MSNBC
etc.
TV reported that General Garner, the U.S.
occupation officer in charge,
held a Karzai type of meeting in Baghdad. Outside
the meeting were NINE U.S.
tanks. There were U.S. troops both outside and
inside the gathering, though
TV wisely did not show these but only mentioned
them in passing. [Perhaps
these reports are not being censored carefully.]
IS SADDAM DEAD OR ALIVE?: U.S. TV says that
according to the (captured)
Tariq Aziz and U.S. agent Chalabi, Saddam is
alive. New Trend treats these
reports with great care because our TV monitors
indicate that U.S.
media
is
being used not only as a TOOL of the
Bush
administration but also as a source
of intelligence moves for a variety of purposes.
[Some reports say Tariq Aziz
was involved in helping the U.S. in its air
strike on Saddam, and his story,
if he is saying it, that he had seen Saddam
alive, might be a way of saving
himself from being cursed by the Iraqi people.]
----------------------------------------------------
QUOTE OF THE DAY: Bush stumbled on the truth. In
a speech to Arabs in
Dearborn, Michigan, April 28, the President
suddenly said:
"Today Iraq has 50% fewer hospitals than in
1990."
His advisers will probably explain to him that
this was a blunder. He more or
less admitted that Iraq BEFORE the Gulf war, when
it was secure under
Saddam's rule, had 50% more hospitals than it has
now.
What happened in between? sanctions! [Please
tell Mr. Bush.]
-------------------------------
The Muslim crowd in Dearborn was applauding Bush
again and again. Men with
beards and caftans, women with hijabs, getting up
to cheer the bomber of
Baghdad.
------------------------------------------------
SMILE: Muslim jokers say that the FBI has decided
not to open its booth at
the
ISNA
conference this time. So many Muslims
with beards and hijabs have
filed applications to join the FBI that there are
no more jobs left. The
immigrants in this country love
America above
God, but Daniel Pipes thinks
they are potential terrorists because they have
beards and hijabs!
