Are the Iraqi's slackers?
-
I remember just yesterday the Iraqi info minister dismissed as lies reports that the allies were on the doorstep of Baghdad, and said that they were no where near 100 miles of it. Then a few hours later, the US comes blasting their way into Baghdad international airport, finally inflicting some heavily, morale-boosting damage on the enemy more like Gulf War 1 then the slow fighting now, shooting and decimating anything the Iraqi threw their way.

in all wars, both sides have to say the opposite of the other- to boost troop's morale..that is all.Originally posted by SingaporeTyrannosaur:I remember just yesterday the Iraqi info minister dismissed as lies reports that the allies were on the doorstep of Baghdad, and said that they were no where near 100 miles of it.

even the US lied so much during this war. -
But lie at least lie smart lah, if the enemy is at your doorstep and his advance cannot be stopped, dun say he's 100 miles out and act relax one corner, now they come storming in your troop morale instantly fall 'what! I tot they were 100 miles out".
Also he has to explain his gaffe to the press again, if it's one two days not so bad, but this one is just a few hours, and is something that's impossible to deny. -
What the Iraqi minister said is true... The US can cover 100 miles in a few hoursOriginally posted by SingaporeTyrannosaur:But lie at least lie smart lah, if the enemy is at your doorstep and his advance cannot be stopped, dun say he's 100 miles out and act relax one corner, now they come storming in your troop morale instantly fall 'what!

Wah... apparently their M1A1 tanks drove at top speed (43mph) for 2+ hours over rough terrain nonstop unopposed by iraqi resistance
Frankly I'd like to see their clown of an information minister trip up and ahve nothing to say for once... -
He he... saw the iraqi "information" minister again... this time he was less confident broadcasting a blurred image from thier damaged TV networks...
-
LOL, Whadya expect? If he is still cool as cucumber obviously US armed forces ain't doing their job properlyOriginally posted by SingaporeTyrannosaur:He he... saw the iraqi "information" minister again... this time he was less confident broadcasting a blurred image from thier damaged TV networks... -
I think it's his job to act cool, becos he dun have much of a choice anyway... he has a gun to his head.

I have to agree that Iraq love presenting alot of desprate propaganda but , same with the US. See CNA to witness how bias , bitchy those american journalist and newspresenter can be.
Both sides tok too much cock so do give some respect to that iraqi minister. Im touched to see ministers , young mens of iraq standing up together not running away ( although there will be some ) fighting for their homeland. They might not win the war , but they make their land a difficult target for their invaders .
Everytime , i like putting incidents into my shoe for a thought. This time , im asking myself whether will ministers , top brass leaders and young men of Singapore stand up agaisnt our enemy?? As wat our minister said . We might not win , but we will make any attempt a hard one for the enemy , hopefully deter them. I believe thats wat the iraqis are thinking.
Salute to them and may god have mercy on their souls. -
I dun mind sides spouting propangada, as long as it does not insult my intelligence. Un/fortunately, intelligence appears to be one thing the iraqi regime lacks when it comes to dealing with propangada, but then again, not to many people think much in Iraqi.
Poor them, it's their loss to resist allied troops. It's pretty much lose lose for them, after all, they are dying for a regime that's not worth dying for, using them like pawns. They may be sincere, but sincerely wrong.
At least some Iraqis are seeing some sense and are helping the allies as Iraqi freedom fighters, fighting alongside the allies and helping them point out the enemy from the civies.
May Saddam fall fast, and save the bloodshed. -
The time when the Iraq invading Kuwait, it is right for the US with most of the European nations team up and wage war against Iraq. But this time, the situation is abit different and countries such as France and Germany with some of the countries are against the decision. Honestly speaking on my point of view, the U.S and U.K are the only countries are participating the war and find that it is quite amaze that Bush is offering money to those country who support their deed of action. ??

that is why I call him the misinformation minister..Originally posted by SingaporeTyrannosaur:Wah... apparently their M1A1 tanks drove at top speed (43mph) for 2+ hours over rough terrain nonstop unopposed by iraqi resistance

People like Saddam only understand firepower, not whatever resolutions the UN put up he does not even give a rat's butt to them. They only way to get him to haul butt is when people roll tanks down his courtyard and point the gun down his window. Seems to me all this wrangling and disunity over this current war is more of nonsencical UN indesiveness and rubbish that deserved to be trampled over. The same kind of indesiveness that cost over a million Albanians their lives in Serbia. -
i think US lie more...
-
Nonsense, the Iraqis lie far more then the US... the only diff is their lies are easy to see through that's why it seems like less.
-
I think Saddam is trying too hard to wage conventional warfare to the point of compromising his own positions. Hundreds of units that could have been used better engaging the allies as a organized enemy have been wasted when apparently they order of the day was to engage in "unconventional" warfare. This has allowed a lot of iraqi units to surrender or desert because they feel left to their own devices or get picked off one by one because they are scattered about. 20 iraqi tanks advanced with no cover whatsoever to engage the allies peacemeal and they were destroyed within 30 seconds.

its true tat the US lie more...Originally posted by SingaporeTyrannosaur:Nonsense, the Iraqis lie far more then the US... the only diff is their lies are easy to see through that's why it seems like less. -
I think all the iraqi republican guards are camping in Baghdad. After all, they are "going to give the Americans a surprise".....
-
Either that or it's one big mess. The US is going in smart, instead of thinking of taking on the entire area whole, they are gonna take it down in bite sized pieces, limiting their own losses and keeping the amount of fighting down to a minimum. This conversely will have a bad effect on the Iraqi defenders because they want the Americans to chiong straight in and batter themselves against their defences, something they have set themselves for. Now it turns out the americans are content to take over tiny areas of Badhdad a bit at a time, consolidating their position before they move on to the next.
Though if what CNN is saying is true, then the Iraqi defence is in serious trouble. If US tanks can just go recon in Badhdad and shoot up things before running back to their own lines. -
Now with US tanks rolling about their city unchecked and killing their forces like flies, I await eagerly the "information" minister's latest report.
The poor thing about the iraqi ministers is that they are too frightened to contradict saddam and give an proper picture of the way things are turning out. Come up with sensible propangada for once. I wonder if Saddam even knows what's really going on or is he listening to the "reports" of his ministers who are too afriad to tell him the truth as well...
That is assuming with tanks breathing down their neck they will still contuine to hold press confrences... Most likely they are fearing smart bombs desending on them. -
So, basically they have no hope of winning.....But they can and will inflict as many casualties as possible... perhaps even using WMD on their own land...
