Gen. John Abizaid denounces Al Jazeera

[FallenAngel]

Nothing new here....sadly, this type of reporting only results in more violence...


WASHINGTON - The commander of U.S. forces in Iraq (news - web sites) denounced two Arab television stations Monday, accusing them of lying about American attacks in the city of Fallujah.


Army Gen. John Abizaid said Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya were broadcasting false reports that American troops were deliberately targeting civilians in Fallujah.


The predominantly Sunni Muslim city west of Baghdad has been the site of fighting between insurgents and American troops after a mob mutilated the bodies of American security contractors killed in a March 30 ambush.


"They have not been truthful in their reporting," Abizaid said of the two television stations. "They haven't been accurate. And it is absolutely clear that American forces are doing their very best to protect civilians and at the same time get at the military targets there."


Anti-American protests erupted Friday in Cairo among crowds who supported the Fallujah insurgents. Jordan's King Abdullah, a key U.S. ally in the Middle East, sent relief supplies to the city, saying Fallujah was subject to "blockade, killing and destruction."


About 600 Iraqi dead, mostly civilians, were recorded by the main hospital and four clinics in Fallujah, hospital director Rafie al-Issawi told The Associated Press. U.S. officials say most of the dead probably were insurgents.


A tenuous cease-fire declared by the Americans in Fallujah appeared to be holding Monday, said Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, the commander of U.S. ground troops in Iraq.

I dont know if they fund terrorists, but i definately find it disconcerting that everytime there is an act of terrorism anywhere in the world, al jazeera seems to be the first to know.

al jazeera is the widest reaching arab channel so it's an obvious choice if you want to get a message out in the middle east.

I don't know for sure but the US, Israel & the UK have the best intilligence services in the world, if al jazeera was found to fund terrorists the US would be told an they would love to have a legitimate reason to stop al-jazeera.

Al Jazeera does not fund terrorists, but Al Jazeera supports the terrorists with sympathetic spin on the news reporting. They are on the same side. It is possible that they share information.

I do not think that term applies as both Jews and Arabs are Semites.


It would be correct to say that Al Jazeera was anti-Jew.

Yes , Al Jazeera was anti-Jew .

[goldman]

There is no doubt in my mind that Al Jazeera supports terrorism. They encourage Palestinian suicide bombers to strike against innocent people of Israel. And i agree with usa320, "that everytime there is an act of terrorism anywhere in the world, al jazeera seems to be the first to know". Plus advertising the al-Qaeda propagandas 24-7. This sends a clear message that they are anti US and the West. Therefore we should let them get away with this, Americans should kick them out of Iraq and Afghanistan (ASAP). What do arabs no about free press just look at there governments.

I don't think Al jazeera supports terrorism more then the average arab. free press is the reason why the US doesn't touch al-quaeda if it was a terrorist channel it would be taken off the air. There is no reason why they should not show what the people want, freedom of the press. al quaeda propaganda theory is pushing it in my opinion.

I don't understand how you can be so sure without having ever watched al-quaeda.

But to say that Arabs are anti-Semitic is wrong when they themselves are Semites. Better to say that Arabs are anti-Jew because that is correct.

That is an ignorant statement.

The liberal media has always spinned their reporting to favor liberal democrats over conservative republicans. CBS reporting of the Vietnam war had also undermined much of the US government's efforts there.

Besides the commercial behavior, there are political behaviors in the government.

yes, but what are you reffering to?

[Trigger]

IMHO, Al-Jazeera is actively inciting the people in Iraq and elsewhere to commit acts of violence against coalition forces. I don't understand why they haven't been targeted for some kind of jamming or even a retaliatory strike of some kind. They make no attempt to disguise their contempt for coalition and especially American forces.

Personally I draw the line for 'Freedom of the Press' when they knowingly, purposefully distort the facts with the full knowledge of the response it will generate.

IMHO they are acting as a form of 'PSYOP' network against the coalition, and I think they need to be taken down.

Blow up a studio and they will build or lease another. Better to deplete their bank accounts and destroy their financial records. That will do more to destroy Al Jazeera.

To finish off Al Jazeera, it would be necessary to send Mossad and CIA hit teams to snuff out the financial backers and management of Al Jazeera.

They all drop from mysterious illnesses and accidents.

At least Al-Jazeera shows real images of war and not the sanitized versions that would apparently shock sensitive US viewers too much ... Can't US viewers handle the truth that war is dirty and bloody? And that civilians get killed too?

Of course, they're also airing a lot of propagandist crap! But so does Foxnews.
