Arbil, Iraq Press, March 6, 2003 – The authorities are digging trenches and filling them with fuel oil as part of a new tactic to defend key towns and installations.

Despite their bragging, the authorities realize they will be no match to the U.S. and British troops in the event of war.

Their plans are to set the oil-filled trenches on fire to hamper the advance of U.S. and allied troops.



theres a lot more where that comes from too.....

Thanks a lot for posting this. It's hard to go wrong when you gather more information from more sources. You can decide it doesn't matter, but then it's an informed decision.

Just like if those people on the other side were to read our media they would find out about all of those peace protests. Gee, I guess they're not all mindless murderers in there...

Good job. You're not weird, you're a good person for trying to understand both sides of the conflict.
