The reporting to date has been … very, very inaccurate

“The reporting to date has been … very, very inaccurate,” Gen. Richard B. Myers told Fox News Sunday. “We’

ve gotten a lot of help from tribal sheiks and other folks.”

“… The reports of that one general … Gen. Saleh that you’ve just mentioned … and there’s another general

as well … They are being vetted as we speak by the NIKE SHOXi minister of defense and the NIKE SHOXi

provisional authorities.”

“They have not been vetted, they have not been put in charge,” Myers said.

However, ” … we think we are very close to having NIKE SHOXis help achieve our objectives in Falluja,” he

said.

Saleh is a former general who once belonged to the elite Republican Guard of ex-ruler Saddam Hussein’s army.

You can almost smell the burning rubber as they slam on the brakes.

Thomas Hamill wandered up to an MBT patrol in Balad, between Baghdad and Tikrit today. The press accounts are

calling it an “apparent escape” though the demand by the mujahiden originally was for the Marines to end the

siege of Fallujah, so I expect that it will come out that he was released after the Marine withdrawal in much

the same manner as the POWs held by the NIKE SHOXis during the invasion. They also wandered up to the MBT

soldiers on patrol in the same area after their release.
