A Swiss freind of mine sent me this disertation. This is priceless. I had to share it with the world, is why I am sending it to you all.

Since the Pentagon controls the media and all the media-whores and presstitutes eagerly follow their orders, the reporting is totally one sided and does not show the real situation. Here in Switzerland we get to see both sides and we can judge what's really going on. I can tell you for instance that the loss of life and injured on the American and British side are much greater then is being reported. There are very heavy casualties that run into to the hundreds, because the Iraqis are putting up a terrible fight.

Actually the US/GB forces are not doing very well at all and have not taken one single city. They just gained the undefended empty desert and are bypassing or sitting outside the cities. They are afraid of going in, because they would have to fight from house to house and thereby loose many soldiers. The Iraqis are defending every inch of their country that is being invaded, that's understandable. The Pentagon and the puppet media is not reporting these heavy casualties, because that would cause an up rise in the USA and the public pressure would stop the war. Bush and his gang are very afraid of that. That's why they are making such a big fuzz about the Geneva Convention, to scare the media.

Here in Europe many military experts say that if Saddam defends Baghdad, there is no way the US/GB forces can win. Never in military history has an army been able to take a city with a couple of million people in it fighting. Neither Napoleon nor Hitler could take Moscow, Leningrad or Stalingrad. They both tried with all of their might for years and did not get anywhere. This would be the first time ever if it succeeds. Bush should have done some reading up on history before starting this war. But he can't read as an illiterate. So the US/GB forces have only three options. Either surround the cities and starve them out until they give up. That will take more then a year. Or they go in and do a house to house combat, whereby the losses will be terrible and go into the thousands. That will also take many months to do. Or Bush drops an A-Bomb and kills a whole city with 5.5 million people. He would be stupid enough to do that.

So Bush and Blair have manuvered themselves and their forces into a terrible mess. They of course see the problems now and that's why they had to meet all of a sudden. At the press conference today Bush answered the question on how much more time it will take with, it will take as long as it takes. He was not able to specify an exact time. So they are helpless and this war is
getting out of control. If Bush doesn't know the length of the war, how does he know then how much it will cost? Based on what facts is he asking for 75 billion from congress? This show of incompetence is completely different to the optimistic promises at the beginning of the war when they stated, this will be over in a very short time. They said the Iraqi army will all surrender and the people will greet them as liberators. It's a piece of cake. Now the war mongers are all surprised and their plans are in shreds, because nothing is happening as they envisioned. Bush and his wanna bee generals haven't got a clue about fighting a war. Bush dodged the draft for Vietnam and defended Texas in the National Guard. That makes him qualify as "Commander in Chief"? He is leading the USA not only into an economic and into a diplomatic disaster, but also into a military disaster.

More from my dear Swiss friend. This guy is great:

THE WAR IS FALLING APART

Here the latest news:

Richard Perl, one of the biggest war mongers and criminal of all, has resigned because of corruption accusations. Hurray, that's the first one, a dozen more to go.

Blair has to take back accusations, the Iraqis executed a British soldier in captivity, as stated yesterday in Camp David before the press. According to the sister of the soldier, he was killed in "regular" action. That's what his commander told her. So Blair has been exposed again as filthy liar. How can a statesman stoop so low?

American soldiers are rebelling in Iraq. They are saying, what we are experiencing is not what our commanders told us to expect. They said, we would walk in, boom-boom, and the fight is over. The people would great us as heroes and we could go home. Now they see that the Iraqi people are spitting on them and showing pure hate, they are bogged down somewhere in a desert, the Iraqis are firing at them from all sides, the food and other supplies are not arriving and they are hungry and thirsty. They realise now that they have a high chance of getting killed. Nobody said anything about that. They are making heavy casualties, the high tech weapons are breaking down and the moral is sinking rapidly. The soldiers have been told, that they have to be prepared to stay at least until summer. No leave and return home soon, instead fighting in the ghastliest and hottest place on earth. Join the Army and push up the Daisies in a desert.

German defence minister Hans Struck says, this war has no legality. He also said that his American colleges have been taken completely by surprise. The resistance put up by the Iraqis is very fierce and costly. The US generals lived in a dream world and had envisioned an quick and clean operation, but the reality is totally different. It's a bloody mess. So much for the "best" army in the world.

Since Friday the oil price has gone up by 13% to 31 Dollars a barrel. It's a great time to have a gas guzzling SUV now.

In the city of Bogotá Columbia anti-war demonstrators threw handgranades at the US-embassy. The people are rebelling at their governments pro war stance.

In New York 140 anti-war demonstrator where arrested by police for stopping traffic for one hour on 5th Avenue.

Last Thursday 2100 anti-war demonstrators where arrested in San Francisco.

George W stated yesterday in Camp David that the war is going according to plan. Sure Mr. "Commander in Thief". I say, you couldn't plan and fight your way out of a wet paper bag.

Regarding the hi-jacking of the Al-Jazeera web site, I can only say, the US war mongers are fighting with every dirty trick there is, including cyber war. They want to cut of the truth and real information that the Arab media is broadcasting. What do the US/GB aggressors have to hide that nobody should see? Is it the above mentioned catastrophe?

We have taken several cities... we control 45% of the country.

The losses aren't that high. They are reported that high by the Iraqis, and if you believe anything the Misinformation Minister says...

Civillians are being used as shields in the cities. Of course we aren't going in.

We could make Iraq into a parking lot in 30 minutes if we wanted to do this quick without losses.

"we control 45%" LoL, thats laughable, you are only really in control of one town - Umm Qasr, your supply lined are streched and arnet sufficenlty defended against gurillea attack, and what ive just heard, an iraqi scud has actually hit Kuwait City so you havent even propably secured the far south of the country.
You cant possible feel sure enough to say what percentage of the country you control! especcially when you are dealing with gurillia warfare!
