NEW YORK, APRIL 10, 2003: LOOTING ERUPTS, BAGHDAD IN CHAOS AS SOLDIERS WATCH Questions arise as law and order collapses “ VER,” proclaims the NY Daily News. “Liberty” counters the New York Post. “US Forces Take Control in Baghdad,” explains The New York Times. Each of these headlines is for the most part wrong, as is the new promo on that news channel MSNBC, copping Dr. King’s phrase, “Let Freedom Ring.” So far, the only freedom in Iraq is the freedom to loot and create chaos. Even Donald Rumsfeld is saying that it’s not over yet and – ‘deploying’ my favorite sound bite of the day – “there’s still more killing to do.” The continuing resistance proves how un-over this war is. Yes, a statue was pulled down as we saw over and over again on television as some Iraqis danced for the cameras, a scene that could not have been more perfect had it been scripted. Having shed no tears for Saddam myself, I am sure much of the joy is genuine. His ouster is overdue. But there is a sense of foreboding about what happens next. Oh say, does that Star Spangled Banner still wave? POOR Cpl. Edward Chin is straight ‘outta’ the Republic of Brooklyn, NYC. He’s the soldier who wiped Saddam Hussein’s concrete face with an American flag, a flag that reportedly was flown at the World Trade Center. He (and the administration) was trying to make a connection between the fall of the twin towers and the fall of Baghdad. (Many blame 9/11 on Iraq, despite the lack of evidence). Today there will be a victory rally at 191 the World Trade Towers site to celebrate the payback, real or invented. (It will not be massively attended!) Osama bin Laden and much of the Arab world was delighted to seize on the symbolism of that U.S. flag going up. Many Arab newspapers ran that photo to suggest that occupation, not liberation is the real agenda. (The NY Post ran it with a caption calling the flag a “Burqa for the Butcher.”) Someone must have told Cpl. Chin to knock it off because an Iraqi flag conveniently materialized to replace Old Glory, that is, until they drove the statue down. Arab journalists interviewed on U.S. TV made the point that we were only seeing one part of Baghdad. Shortly afterwards, there were major fire fights at a university and a mosque. Last night Colonel Ollie North was exulting on Fox News that some
