CNN: Rebels now 30 miles outside of Port Au Prince, Haiti
Edited on Sat Feb-28-04 06:42 PM by jchild
CNN's talking heads expect them to move into Port-Au-Prince within 24 hours.

Will update with a link.

Edit 1: Question: I thought rebels had agreed to hold off the attack for a day or two: http://rdu.news14.com/content/headlines/?ArID=43599&SecID=2 According to CNN, not so.

Yeah, like having a tarantula crawl down your throat.

3. This is drool.
The "rebels" were "25 miles" from Port Au Prince yesterday.
This is just talking heads doing their puppy peeing on the
floor imitation, they have no clue what is coming next.

4. CNN said they were moving toward P-a-P & that P-a-P will fall in 24 hours
Edited on Sat Feb-28-04 07:10 PM by jchild
so the gist is that they are on the move now, not just gathering outside of PaP and sitting still.

It also hints that the rebels and Philippe are no longer taking directions from Bush.

6. Has Philippe lost his internet connection?
Edited on Sat Feb-28-04 07:17 PM by Darranar
Or has he decided to go in regardless of what "news websites" say?

Alternatively, CNN could just be speculating baselessly to fill time.

7. No offense to you personally, and I do not claim
any actual knowledge of what is ocurring on the ground
there, good information seems to be quite hard to find;
but I am usually more comfortable believing the opposite
of what CNN says. For example, if CNN says "they are going
in", then I assume they are holding back for a bit.

post.

I'm just passing it along.
