Disabled M1 in Baghdad
BBC reporter around a disabled M1 in the city this morning enthusiastically describing this sight as 'a major propoganda coup' for the Iraqis.
'Ho hum', thought I, and went to pick up the morning papers. And what do I see on the cover of the Sunday Times? That very same tank, the name of which the camera crew had confirmed as 'COJONE EH', in the process of suffering a fairly obvious 'non-enemy action' fire, with Marines on top trying to extinguish it with jerricans of water.
Hardly the David vs Goliath battle conjured up by the BBC.
