The information war continues. US troops defend raid, say Iraqis faked "massacre"
The Iraqis have learned from the Jenin non-massacre that facts are unimportant, only perception. As long as they can refute and cast doubt, they'll win the infowar with vast swaths of the anti-Americans around the globe. This includes large portions of the domestic "anti-war" contingent.
According to Iraq the Model, the cameraman says in Arabic that he cannot show "our" grenades and when he's reassured they're US grenades, he decides he can show them.
Others have noted that the heavy machine gun shown is fixed and positioned for defense. This weapon is crew served and totally useless for assault teams. If the coalition forces had set it up, why would they point it toward the street, outward, when they had just come in from there? It makes no sense. This is naturally lost on journalists who have zero military experience and little observational skill.
Remember these points in six months when people are talking about the "slaughter" of worshippers at a mosque.
