Iraq: Al-Faw peninsula is still under our control.
The last missile, which hits Kuwait, was sent from that peninsula.

P.S. Note that quite all world sources reported that coalition anit-missile defense failed to detect that attack.

Ice Cream Time! Rumors Sow Uncertainty in Ranks
Sun March 30, 2003 11:42 AM ET
By Matthew Green
NORTHWEST OF NASSIRIYA, Iraq (Reuters) - They say an ice cream machine is on its way.

"I hope it's true," said U.S. Marine Corporal Jason St. Pierre, resting on a crate at a roadside ammunition dump in southern Iraq.
The story is a fantasy, but like many of the rumors circulating among U.S. troops in Iraq, it does say something about what's on many soldiers' minds.

Iraq would have acquired redoubtable missiles anti-tanks
Agence France-Presse
New York

Iraq bought during the last months up to thousand missiles Russian anti-tanks " Kornet », an acquisition which worries the American military responsibles after the destruction of two heavy tanks M1 Abrams near Samawah in the northwest of Bassorah, reveal the weekly Newsweek appeared on Sunday.

It is the first time which the United States lose in the fight two of these heavy tanks, which are nevertheless considered as "quasi(near of)"- invincible. According to Newsweek, in both cases they were destroyed by a missile Kornet, fired since an Iraqi jeep which had been able to approach armored cars during the sandstorm arisen some days ago.

The weekly clarifies, by quoting responsibles for the Pentagon, that about 500 missile Kornet would have last January been delivered to the regime of Bagdad by Ukrainian traders of weapons.

Others would have been able to be supplied, maybe by Syrian generals having the business acumen or even by the government of Damascus, according to Newsweek

The Iraqi government has noticed that it is lossing the propoganda war so they have started to arrest or deport all journalists who are not explicitely pro-Saddam. Nearly all no Arab news networks have been expelled and several journalists have been arrested and no one has seen or heard from them for over a week.

Raw, Devastating Realities That Expose the Truth About Basra
by Robert Fisk
Independent UK
An Iraqi general, surrounded by hundreds of his armed troops, stands in central Basra and announces that Iraq's second city remains firmly in Iraqi hands. The unedited al-Jazeera videotape – filmed over the past 36 hours and newly arrived in Baghdad – is raw, painful, devastating.
...For days the Iraqi have been denying optimistic reports from "embedded'' reporters – especially on the BBC – who gave the impression that Basra was "secured'' or otherwise in effect under British control.
...Of course, it is still possible that some small-scale opposition to the Iraqi regime broke out in the city over the past few days, as British officers have claimed. But, seeing the tapes, it is hard to imagine that it amounted, if it existed at all, to anything more than a brief gun battle.

=The British deny having arrested an Iraqi general

Camp As-Saliya Associated Press, Qatar
The commander Will MacKinlay, the spokesman of the British army, denied on Sunday the announcement made previously concerning the arrest of an Iraqi general to Basra. " We think that it is not any more the case ", he said in the BBC. He awarded the false report to the " fog of the war ". " We have no war prisoner having general's rank ", made more added the British ministry of the Defence. The captain Al Lockwood, the spokesman of the British forces in the Bay, had declared during a point press during the day that a commando group had arrested an Iraqi general belonging to the Republican guard.

Saddam takes the advantage in the psychological warfare

Whether it is thanks to the exercise of the terror or thanks to a start of patriotism of his people, the result is there. Saddam Hussein escaped the American-British strikings. He maintained the cohesion of his population. He avoided the scattering of his army. He aroused a reflex of sympathy in the Arabian-Moslim world. Opposite, the American, humbled strategists, had to see again their copy. On the political plan, the president Bush was able to take advantage only of the reunification in his coalition of the realm of Tonga and of some other insignificant countries militarily....

...The most unrefined propaganda actions came, at the moment, from Americans and from their British allies. There were the allusions on Saddam Hussein's death before the Iraqi president reappears on the television, the erroneous announcement of the surrender of the 51th Iraqi division, the rumour on the flight of Tarek Aziz which then gave a press conference in Bagdad. There was also a short piece of news of an uprising to Bassora who had hardly consistency. There was still an assertion that a column of 120 tanks left Bassora before we learn that it included only three armored cars.
