Opinion on war? - Agamemnus - 03-25-2003
Toonski, you're wrong and I'm right. Admit it and let's get on with our lives.

Agamemnus, you've gotta be crazy if you think US weapons don't kill civilians. They do. Even US missiles go crazy sometimes. You can probably get the specs of cruise missiles from news agencies or even the manufacturer (if you know where to look) and the accuracy will not be 100%.
Perhaps you want to go to Baghdad and live there now, to prove it is safe from US weapons? :humm:

I've been following the "war" on tv (Swedish news programs,FOX NEWS and CNN) and I realized that there's alot of differences between the news reporting.
Swedish news programs are pretty objective and shows material from 'Al Jazira' (probaly not spelled like that),CNN,BBC and other big channels. Swedish news programs also showed pictures of thoose dead coalition troops and colation tropps that now are prisoners of war.
What do u ( from USA and England) think about "your" news programs reports of the war?

you've seen fox news, and cnn. those are the major networks. lots of yellow journalism and slant, and little information.
and @agamemnus: whatever.

There is no New Zealand reporters in Iraq, so we all have to watch CNN, BBC etc. We know it's all biased, because the NZ media think they are clever by pointing it out, but the only way the CNNs of the world will change is if we all stop watching them. And that's not gonna happen.

what I'm saying here is that there aren't as many casualties as some people would lead you to believe.
Now tell me again why Fox has "yellow-slanted" journalism? It seems to me a lot of other people are being yellow here.....

A simple formula for working out civilian casualties: Take the worst case Iraqi amount (eg 50 thousand), and the best case American amount (eg none), and divide by 10 :rotfl:

Today a market in Baghdad has been bombed while many people were buying food. 20 to 30 civils have died, there are more than 50 injuried. Nice one.
And I've seen those dantesque images of a market full of people eviscerated in the floor. Maybe you americans are not getting all the images. And that was *not* an error: 5 missiles hit the market, not a misleaded one.

Until I hear this from centcom, all that is just Iraqi propaganda to me.

Not Iraqui propaganda. I saw images from Spanish corresponsals there. Actual images.
