GLOBAL DEMO'S SLOGAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN "NO TO WAR -NO TO SADDAM - NO TO BUSH" UNFORTUNATELY SADDAM THINKS GLOBAL DEMO IN SUPPORT FOR HIM.

BAGHDAD, Iraq Feb. 16 —
Iraq on Sunday gloated over the global outpouring of opposition to the U.S. threat of attack, saying anti-war demonstrations in dozens of countries signaled an Iraqi victory and "the defeat and isolation of America."

Iraq's tightly controlled news media gave prominent coverage to anti-war demonstrations staged around the world on Saturday. Iraqi television showed footage of millions marching in the world's cities under the logo "International Day of Confronting the Aggression."

"The world said with one voice: 'No to aggression on Iraq,'" read a headline in the government daily Al-Jumhuriya. "The world rises against American aggression and the arrogance of naked force," read a front page headline in the army daily Al-Qadissiya.

"These demonstrations expressed in their spirit, meaning and slogans the decisive Iraqi victory and the defeat and isolation of America," Al-Jumhuriya said in a commentary.

Saddam Hussein knows that the global demonstrations yesterday were in no way in support of his regime. Only pro-war people will say that to try and cut accross the mass anti-war sentiment that exists.

Saddan is only one of the dictators created by the USA to oppress their own people, they are getting one ready to replace the democratically elected Presidente Hugo Chavez who they have already tried to overthrow.

The fairies are in the keyboard.
They're coming, they're coming.

No matter what, I'll be seen to be there, smoke me some mushrooms, cos you never know when the goblins will be laughing.

...we may as well all type drivel on Indymedia.ie. Iosaf has set the trend.
