Plan For Christianizing The "Enemy"
Mar 29, 2003
By Mark Okeefe, Newhouse News Service
Two leading evangelical Christian missionary organizations said Tuesday that they have teams of workers poised to enter Iraq to address the physical and spiritual needs of a large Muslim population.

The Southern Baptist Convention, the country's largest Protestant denomination, and the Rev. Franklin Graham's Samaritan's Purse said workers are near the Iraq border in Jordan and are ready to go in as soon as it is safe. The relief and missionary work is certain to be closely watched because both Graham and the Southern Baptist Convention have been at the heart of controversial evangelical denunciations of Islam, the world's second largest religion.

"Iraqi dissidents and Arab media have claimed that Saddam Hussein has opened a training camp for Arab volunteers willing to carry out suicide bombings against U.S. forces in Iraq. And last month, terror mastermind Osama bin Laden urged Iraqis in an audio tape aired on Arabic television to employ the tactic against the Americans. Other Arab militants also spoke about suicide missions against the invading armies.

Such suicide attacks are common by Palestinian militants in targeting the better equipped Israeli army during the uprising on the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri was asked in a mid-March television interview, whether Iraq would use the tactic of suicide attacks against the invading American forces.

"We have prepared ourselves for all kinds of war. For many months, tens of thousands have volunteered to serve as martyrdom-seekers (suicide attackers) in the battle with the American enemy," he said. "We trained them and readied them. We have prepared ourselves for street fighting and desert fighting."

Saddam appears on television, chairing meeting

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



BAGHDAD, March 29 (Reuters) - Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was shown on Iraqi state television on Saturday chairing a meeting of his ministers and senior aides.

The television announcer said the footage was shot on Saturday but there was no way to verify that independently.

Saddam has appeared several times on television, twice to address the nation, since the United States tried to kill him in a cruise missile strike on Baghdad on March 20 at the start of their war to disarm Iraq.

TUNISIA, March 29 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) - The tactic of setting oil-filled trenches ablaze around the Iraqi areas since the beginning of invasion has sent all missiles, aircraft and electronically-guided military equipment of the U.S-led invasion forces into full blindness by misleading their hit targets, a Tunisian expert said Saturday, March 29

The "journalist" (I use the term losely) who wrote this doesn't know very much about precision guided munitions. Smoke screens will stop laser guided munitions but most American bombs and missiles being used in Iraq are GPS guided just so they can over come this sort of obstical.

CNN is reporting a captured Iraqi compound had the bodies of POWs as well as torture equipment which the Iraqis used to torture POWs to death. Iraqis continue to dress themselves up as civilians and then attack soldiers who are showing them mercy.

• U.S. troops find bloodied uniforms thought to belong to MIAs at hospital in Nasiriya
• Name tags and U.S. flag patches ripped off
• Also found: An apparent torture device made of a metal cot and a car battery
• Suicide bombing kills 4 U.S. soldiers near Najaf

Columnist Criticizes Iraq Coverage
Solomon emphasized that he's no fan of Hussein. He said, for instance, that Hussein has been brutal against the Kurds in Iraq -- but adds that U.S. newspapers rarely mention that the Kurds also have a difficult time in Turkey (an American ally). Readers are being told "who to cry for and who to ignore," said Solomon. "We're being manipulated."

Analysis: Shooting from the hip with Syria
What did U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld achieve by publicly scolding Syria and almost adding it to President George W. Bush's "axis of evil?"
Syria, even before the war and more so since its eruption, has turned into the main and most vociferous focus of Arab resistance.
Last week, Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri was very warmly received by his Syrian colleague Farouk A-Shara. The border between Syria and Iraq is the only Arab border left open and last week Haaretz reported a movement of volunteers across the Syrian border to Iraq.

Russian military intel update: War in Iraq, March 29
30.03.2003 [10:30]
....During the past day the situation on the US-Iraqi front remained largely unchanged. The US is continuing reinforcing the attack group near Karabela for a thrust toward Baghdad. By the morning of March 29 up to 20,000 coalition troops were massed in the area of Karabela. This forces includes up to 200 tanks, 150 artillery systems and more than 250 helicopters. The order for the attack will be given by the coalition?commander Gen. Tommy Franks, who, according to intercepted radio communications, will personally inspect the troops during the next several hours...

A report was obtained, prepared by the Al-Kuwait-based coalition Psychological Operations Tactical Group for the coalition Special Ground Forces Command. The report analyzed the effectiveness of the information and propaganda war. According to the report, analysis of the television broadcasts, intercepted radio communications, interrogations of Iraqi POWs show that psychologically the Iraqi are now "more stable and confident" that they were during the last days before the war. This, according to the report, is due primarily to the coalition's numerous military failures.
...Coalition analysts believe that if this attitude of the Iraqi is not changed within the next 7 days, a "resistance ideology" may take over the Iraqi minds, making the final coalition victory even more difficult. In response to this report the US Army Psychological Operations command decided to combine all Iraqi POWs into large groups and to distribute the resulting video footage to the world media. A more active use of the Iraqi opposition was suggested for propaganda work in the occupied villages. The same opposition members will be used to create video footage of the "repented" Iraqi POWs and footage of the local Iraqi population "opposing Saddam."
...
Radio communications intercepted during the last five days suggest that the coalition is using Israeli?airfield for conducting night air strikes against Iraq. Combat aircraft are taking off regularly from the Israeli Hatzerim and the Navatim airbases do not return to the same bases but fly toward the border with Jordan while maintaining complete radio silence.

About 8000 children in the age 10-15 years have been trained to become soldiers to defend Badhdad. They have been politically indoctrinated and learned how to use small firearms and infantry tactics, similar to Hitlerjugend. US marines have already killed such kids in Nasiriyya.

There is also a story on how a soldier reacts mentally when facing kid soldiers. In an interview, former Swedish UN soldier Gert Gustavsson told that the nightmares from when he killed some Baluba kids in self defense at close range in Kongo 1962 have haunted him for all his life.

From CNN:

Royal Marine Commandos capture two high ranking paramilitary forces leaders, also destroy close to two dozen T-55s and other equipment.

Of course, since the Russians are using a website to advertise their ability to intercept nearly every US communication and decrypt every US code, the British effort is in vain, since we're clearly losing the war.
