View of The Arab Street
According to the BBC's listening post in Caversham, UK: Al Ahram (Iran) - no report, no US troops in Baghdad Expect claims of it all being a Hollywood production by Industrial Light & Magic by tomorrow, along with the Moon Landing etc. Posted By Alan E Brain at April 9, 2003 09:44 AM | TrackBackComments
At least Al-Jazeera is showing the hitting with a shoe (great insult in Islamic culture?) Posted by: Rozencrantz at April 9, 2003 09:49 AMAre they showing the scenes of celebrations throughout Iraq? Did Al-jazeera leave Iraq yet? Posted by: Vicky at April 9, 2003 09:49 AMIraqi people to Saddam & Co.: All your base are belong to us! Posted by: Knitting a Conundrum at April 9, 2003 09:49 AMIs that Jar Jar Binks trying to topple Saddam's statue? Damn Lucas. Posted by: A. Non at April 9, 2003 09:49 AMThey are now saying that Saddam may be holed up in the Russian Embassy. Maybe send a little friendly fire that way ? Posted by: JohninLondon at April 9, 2003 09:52 AM"BBC's listening post in Caversham, UK:" appear to be a not too reliable source. I'm actually watching some of the same signals (e.g. Al Jazeera) and it doesn't show the guy with the shoe it shows the rope and the hammer folk working on the statue (probably using the same pool feed as Al J.)

Posted by: JohninLondon at April 9, 2003 10:04 AMjust 15 mins ago the clips I saw showwed a guy bashing a saddam poster in the face with a shoe, and then hundreds tossing shoes at that saddam statue, as others climbed up with a rope Posted by: James at April 9, 2003 10:06 AMPost a comment
