| #6 Thanks, Angie. I used to frequently torture myself with the Beeb Dateline show, but became disgusted when even the Americans they invited to receive the bashing were apologists or nervous nellies. Even Perle waffled a bit, though smugly so. I dunno if this was their "regular" Arab or not - if so, I know who you mean - and that makes this much clearer. He's being dramatic and saying the war-mongering US has already written the Syrian epitaph. More subtly than his usual excited style, but that would be how I'd take it if he said it on Beeb. Sound about right to you, assuming he's the mustachiod long-faced western-clothes excitable guy I think he is? |

| #5 .com --- Go to "previous reports", then "news ticker headlines". URL is http://www.memri.org/ticker.html But mercutio has reproduced the whole of the item, so it doesn't gain you anything. I wonder what else, if anything, Al-Quds Al-Arabi had to say about it. Its editor is (or was) Abdel-Bari Atwan, frequent guest on the anti-American BBC program Dateline:London (he was one of the *least* anti-American on the show), and supposedly had "close ties" to (pre-war) Iraq. |
