It's a small town, it has only a few docks ... now they are in a trap.

The American press is all about lies! All they tell is lies, lies and more lies!

They want to deceive their people first because now they are in a very shabby situation

Iraqi forces are still in control of the city, and they are engaging in an attrition war with the enemy.

During the battles last night and at dawn, they [ Ba'th Socialist Party fighters] had destroyed three American helicopters

They are lying every day. They are lying always, and mainly they are lying to their public opinion

The Iraqi troops and the Iraqi fighters are in control of all the places, as we have witnessed, no big change in that. We are fighting against them.
