Fake 'Dancing In The Streets' - Free Iraqi Forces Get Around11.04.2003
pril 6th: Iraqi National Congress founder, Ahmed Chalabi is flown into the
southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah by the Pentagon. Chalabi, along with 700
fighters of his "Free Iraqi Forces" are airlifted aboard four massive C17
military transport planes. Chalabi and the INC are Washington favorites to head
the new Iraqi government. A photograph is taken of Chalabi and members of his
Free Iraqi Forces militia as they arrive in Nasiriyah.
April 9th: One of the "most memorable images of the war" is created when U.S.
troops pull down the statue of Saddam Hussein in Fardus Square. Oddly enough...
a photograph is taken of a man who bears an uncanny resemblance to one of
Chalabi's militia members... he is near Fardus Square to greet the Marines. How
many members of the pro-American Free Iraqi Forces were in and around Fardus
Square as the statue of Saddam came tumbling down?
The up close action video of the statue being destroyed is broadcast around the
world as proof of a massive uprising. Still photos grabbed off of Reuters show a
long-shot view of Fardus Square... it's empty save for the U.S. Marines, the
International Press, and a small handful of Iraqis. There are no more than 200
people in the square at best. The Marines have the square sealed off and guarded
by tanks. A U.S. mechanized vehicle is used to pull the statue of Saddam from
it's base. The entire event is being hailed as an equivalent of the Berlin Wall
falling... but even a quick glance of the long-shot photo shows something more
akin to a carefully constructed media event tailored for the television cameras.
