BREAKING - Chemical Ali in custody!
 

From CNN:

"Chemical Ali," fifth on coalition most wanted Iraqis list, in U.S. custody, military officials say. Details to come.

Will the markets react positively on this news? Does it even matter?

I thought he was dead already?

From CNN:

Body of 'Chemical Ali' found. Gen. Ali Hassan al-Majeed, also
known as "Chemical Ali," was killed in a coalition airstrike...

MSNBC is reporting it also..

MSNBC News Bulletin
Chemical Ali captured
NBC: Former Iraqi official
in Coalition custody

I'll bet he wishes he was now.

crazy

i really thought he was dead based on some news a few months back

maybe next they will capture uday and hitler

Once again proof americans and cnn are full of shit. They can tell what they want, cnn airs it and what cnn airs is right.

Don't believe CNN but trust Fox right ?

We believe GFY first..

Then CNN, FOX & BBC

Where do the Dutch get their news on Iraq?

Dutch tele which is often way more accurate than cnn...we also get to see stuff which isnt aired in America. Cnn only shows what Americans need to see.

You americans also didnt see how bush was laughing and making jokes 2 mins before he announced the war and suddenly put up his serious monkey face that you all love so much.

The President of the US isn't allowed to laugh? What's the official "joking quiet period" before launching a war?

Anyway, here's the story on CNN..

Since we're just dumb Americans it's probably not worth your time to read.

u can always count on the Eurotrash for the moron point of view on anything.

I thought they said that fucker was dead already..

lol. this post shows so very well what battus tried to say.

Mutt isn't even from the US jackass

:BangBang:

america isn't the only country where cnn can be watched.

You were backing up Battuss... And he said:

"Once again proof americans and cnn are full of shit. They can tell what they want, cnn airs it and what cnn airs is right."

what i like best is that the Yankee haters can't seem to find a webmaster board hosted by a European company to talk their shit on. Not to mention 95% of their income if they aren't running their own paysites comes from U.S. companies, 90% of the content they either buy or steal is from U.S. companies featuring American girls.

exactly.

That I don't like cnn makes me a yankee hater?

What's your point? If you go back and read the story on CNN about Chemical Ali you'd see that they reported it correctly.

The headline says: "British military: Body of 'Chemical Ali' found"

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/...ali/index.html

If there was an error in the British intelligence, you can't fault CNN. CNN reported the facts at that time.

Are you telling me that no News agencies in the Netherlands reported on that story? The Dutch news companies had better intelligence than the Brits, so they decided not to report it?

That's bullshit. Sounds like revisionist's history to me.

Agreeing with people that say: "Once again proof americans and cnn are full of shit. They can tell what they want, cnn airs it and what cnn airs is right."

Makes you a Yankee hater.

Whatever channel reported it, its good news.

Well if you think i'm a yankee hater, so be it. I'm not.
Seems like americans think that all europeans hate them anyway.

I'm talking about cnn in general.
Check out the newsmessage... one spokesman at British military at U.S. Central Command said the body was found then they immediately say British Defense said this is not the case. But they still put 'Body found' in the headline, and they will still use body found in the news reports, even though they mention british millitary, they'll still make it look like it's true, just to have some news.

HELL Yeah! Another piece of Saddam's sand-scum to torture.

Bet he wishes he hadn't ordered those 5,000 innocent Kurds to be gassed now. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in THAT interrogation room. Maybe someone will catch it on video and upload it to Kazaa.

Kill 'Em All :ak47:

For the most part I don't really care if other people hate me or not. Europeans, Americans or Martians...

I still challenge you to go find the article that dutch news agencies filed for that same event. I know one exists and I'd be willing to bet it's presented in the same way. There was no reason to think otherwise. It was still a newsworthy event.

Well, I can tell you that with this newsreport they say that CNN said that... etc. until it's confirmed.
http://www.nu.nl/news.jsp?n=193208&c=23 Just like they're now saying that "He has been captured".

But they did say a while ago that Ali probably wasn't dead. And they're also saying it in this story. 'Later on they weren't really sure of his death anymore and began looking for him again.'

You can't bomb a house where someone should be in, release some bombing videos and then assume that he is dead.

Im not a yankee hater.

Just saying theres more than what your government wants you to see and here in Europe we do see more, from a different angle and not censored by the american goverment.

Stop crying.

According to FuqAlot your media reports on what CNN reports... Don't they have their own sources? lol

CNN just reported that it's way past my bedtime. I think they're right. I'm going to be watching those Dutch news websites just to make sure. ;)

Oh, they do. But we don't need to put alot of ppl there. CNN is usually the first one with 'news', so they're quoting them until it's confirmed. You missed the point, I already figured you'd be replying to just that part of the post anyway.

Unlike some other countries, the American media isn't controlled and owned by their own government. You shouldn't believe every conspiracy theory that your friends and family spew out of their mouths about the USA.

After reports that he was dead the General of the US army said he was still alive

I wonder who's body they had before claiming that it was Chemical Ali. They should test these things and be sure before letting the media run it.

Dead = Page 1 Headlines

Not Dead yet = Classified ads below "personals".

:helpme

Like most countries we do have our own reporters in Irak and other countries so we do get our own and different news than cnn.

Its no biggie just sometimes when i watch cnn i hear this american reporter saying that the the people in Irak are happy with the recent events of the americans doing this and that and blah blah and then we get an exclusive on the same event covered by Dutch tele for instance and it turned out that the arent happy with the way the Americans handled that situation at all.

We dont have to defend our country and our soldiers and public opinion so we certainly cover the news more unbiased.

You can scream and yell all you want but thats just the way it is.

so, is he CIA agent already? hahaha

Any story can be spun in any direction. Don't be so naive and think the American media is the only one doing this...

common now. im in the u.s. and myself and everyone else in the u.s. has to know we are being lied too... lol if you think we are being told the truth, your a moron... nothing is as it seems
