BBC shows children of war; CNN shows armed marines ready for the big assault. CNN is now like an old Soviet TV station. Have a look:

2. Since when do we "storm" hospitals?

3. The IRA fought the British for 30 years Get ready for the long slough

A parallel is being drawn in some quarters with the British Army's Operation Motorman in 1972 in which "no-go areas" held by the Irish Republican Army were retaken. That, too, was declared as a decisive moment.

The issue is whether the Iraqi forces play a more substantial role than that of video extras


If it was, it took a long time to take effect. The IRA decided to melt away and fight another day. And the fight lasted another 30 years or so
