Mr Bush is talking about peace. What peace?
People will be killed
and bombarded with all sorts of weapons.
And what about the Arabs?
The Arabs are saying nothing, objecting to nothing and sleeping.
If Arabs have the will, they can stand up to
any enemy.
Do I have the right to kick you out of your own house
and move in there myself?
The problem now is not Saddam,
the problem is what the people will go through.
As for Saddam, I think if only ten lraqis are left alive,
he will be one of them.
We should pray that God grants him victory.
It's true that Saddam Hussein was wrong
when he invaded Kuwait,
but now it's different.
Did you get the visas
for the cameramen we're sending to Baghdad?
Yes, we got the go-ahead
and they can leave immediately.
We gave our locations in Mosul, Baghdad and Basra
to the authorities in Washington and the Pentagon.
We sent official letters to give them our co-ordinates.
They know the location of our offices in Baghdad,
as well as the location of our offices in Basra and Mosul.
How are you, lbrahim?
I am going to CentCom now.
I will not involve Al Jazeera in anything. Don't worry.
- "Hello, how are you?" - Hello. I'm fine.
You're such a star.
Baghdad? Baghdad?
The sound has dropped.
Are you OK, Maged?
They dropped three missiles on the same target.
He says there is heavy bombing.
Hey, invaders! Hey, invaders!
You Americans, you cowards!
Welcome to my house, Mr Bush.
Look at this! Do you have any humanity?
How can you accept seeing a little girl
crying for her mum and dad?
Where is your humanity? Where is your conscience?
Where is your God?
I warn Al Jazeera - stop your American propaganda.
This war is costing billions of dollars.
Where will the US get the money?
They'll get it from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the Emirates.
- They've all opened their safes. - lraq! They'll get it from lraq.
No! They won't take lraq, not while we're still breathing.
They might take over some cities
but will they be able to keep control?
Like in Afghanistan, the oil pipelines are easy to destroy.
Every time they rebuild, we'll destroy them.
The US military give information to the news agencies.
And you and I treat it as unbiased reporting when, in fact,
it is military propaganda.
So, for example, they say
they captured a bridge over the Tigris River.
But there are no bridges over that river,
except in the city of Al Kut.
Now the Americans say that they're still on the way to Al Kut.
So, how could they have taken the bridge if they're still not there?
So, this American news, it's all nonsense?
Let's get our graphics producer
and summarise this live on our show.
Welcome back. We now continue with our coverage
of the war in lraq.
They say they are 30km from the southern tip of Baghdad.
However, they don't specify
what they consider to be the southern tip of Baghdad,
so they could be 1 00km away from Baghdad.
I want to tell you what's on my mind
about what's happening in the Arab world today.
It's similar to what happened during the 1 967 war.
The shock that happened to the Arab people.
The first few days of the war, the Arab media exaggerated.
They kept talking about
destroying enemy planes and tanks
and built up their hopes of defeating the opposition.
And in three or four days,
Israel occupied the Sinai, Ramallah and Jerusalem.
The people were shocked.
And now you keep telling us
about this heroic resistance,
and that the Americans miscalculated
and that the war will go on for months.
The Arab media is relying on emotions and wishful thinking.
OK. But, for example,
we heard that Basra would fall in two days
because it's a Shi'a town.
But it took much longer than that.
We just show different points of view.
I've had it.
Since the start of the war, I haven't had a single day off.
Where have you been?
The session starts in two minutes.
Didn't I say I'd be here at 4 o'clock?
- Who am I interviewing? - Jeffrey Steinzberg.
- Who? - Jeffrey Steinzberg.
- Steinzberg? - Steinzberg... Steinberg.
Steinberg?
- Jeffrey Steinberg. Trust me. - Look it up.
STElNBERG: What is happening now in the war in lraq
follows an agenda of the Pentagon
and some of the people in the White House.
They want the US to become a new empire.
Their goal is to dominate the lraqi military
and control all the oil reserves in the region.
- Where did you get that guy? - Wasn't he good?
That was shit. He's just a crazy activist.
But he was talking about his own country.
So what? It's not our concern if he's for or against his country.
- But he was analysing. - That wasn't analysis.
That was hallucination. It was all nonsense - no logic, no balance.
Why? He was talking about his own country.
No, no, my friend. No, that's not how it's done.
If you're doing an opinion programme,
bring him on and he can express his opinion.
But not on our news programme.
There, we want guests who are balanced.
We want guests who can give us
both sides of the story.
This was only one side of the story.
Sadness is permeating the city
and can been seen in people's faces.
Their bombardment has turned their lives into a living hell,
but it has not broken their spirits.
Tarek Ayyoub for Al Jazeera in Baghdad.
Tanks entering Baghdad and people waving?
That's part of the propaganda war
because according to the BBC, not Al Jazeera,
there are no tanks inside "Baghdad" - "that's bullshit. "
The first demand to be made at today's press conference
will be for Brigadier General Vincent Brooks.
The General will be asked to prove on video
that the troops are in control of the airport
and are inside the city of Baghdad.
Is this Bush's idea of freedom?
Is this Bush's democratic solution
for the Arab and lslamic people?
Do I have to pay for his democracy with six lives?
I don't want his freedom. I don't want his democracy.
My brother and his children are dead.
Here I am,
drenched in blood to prove it.
That explosion is exactly what the lraqi regime wants to see.
They're trying to create division
between the American liberators and the lraqi people.
How can we let them burn our land? We are lraqis!
How can Saddam and his men let this happen?
How can he let children starve while their mothers cry for them?
The Americans are animals. They are scum.
This one is a Ba'athist too. Get him out of here!
He is a Ba'athist!
Move the camera.
Move it from Tarek.
Put it on the scene.
Please, my husband died trying to reveal the truth to the world.
Please do not conceal it for any conditions
not for the public opinion,
not for the American policy, not for the British policy.
Please be honest only for this time.
For the sake of all those people who died,
innocent people, not military,
not militia, not people in the army,
please tell the truth,
only this once.
Thank you very much.
Our T arek! Our martyr!
We shall follow your lead!
Can we get a shot of Baghdad?
There are explosions in Baghdad
but we can't see them on our screen.
There are no police, no Republican Guard.
Where is everyone?
What an embarrassment.
Where is the army?
Look at them destroying everything.
Why are we doing this to ourselves?
Regardless of our hate for Saddam,
it's not right for us Arabs
to behave that way in front of the whole world.
Is that rain?
- Is that rain? - No way.
No, no, no.
This is very, very strange.
