| BBC titles article using Odierno Statement to make him appear Over-confident |
| 2004-01-23 |
| BBC Title Saddam fighters ’on their knees’ Here are three statements that Major General Odierno made: A top American general in Iraq says the US army has brought supporters of Saddam Hussein "to their knees". Major General Raymond Odierno also said he thought there would be a return to "some normalcy" within six months. "These groups are still a threat, but a fractured sporadic threat with the leadership destabilised, finances interdicted and no hope of the Baathists return to power," he said. See how silly the first statement looks when the other two are removed. I wonder if the BBC did that on purpose? Maybe that Al Jazeera cast-off, that the Beeb picked up the other day, is already running classes for the rest of the staff. |
