Iraqis looking for allied pilots at Tigris river in Baghdad

#1 Postby cycloneye » Sun Mar 23, 2003 7:17 am

This news is breaking just now.Is this a fake of the iraqis or is a real thing that allied pilots are at that river but I will go with a fake by them until it is proven that really pilots are there.

Remember they the iraqis are the masters in propaganda.

Saw the pictures of the Iraqis shooting into the water. I hope that this isn't an air crew down. No word yet from offical sources. :o

There was word.The official Statement form the US is 'no report of downed Coalition aircraft over Bahgdad.Now there is a DENIAL by the US.
My humble opion is that the Iraqis are using our TV Cameras to thier advantage.This was exemplified last night with the skirmish at the SeaPort,and our reluctance to use overwhelming force with the cameras rolling.I say yank the imbedded TV crews...NOW.
