ArabNews: US Soldiers Express Reservations About War - Barbara Ferguson, Arab News Correspondent


Ummm...yeah...

[...]Some soldiers on an airplane crammed full of US military men, reservists and contractors from all corners of America told Arab News their small towns had been all but emptied when Uncle Sam called them up. Some said they had never been overseas before. Others said they had never even been on an airplane.


All of them expressed major concerns about this war. They do not want it, and they’re not happy with President Bush’s — as one GI put it — “cowboy gung-ho attitude.”


This poses a big problem. Because when the military doesn’t have confidence in their commander-in-chief, this could seriously affect morale.[...]

Again I ask, does Arab News just make this stuff up? Sounds like utter crap to me.


Hmmm...a quick web search for "Barbara Ferguson Araba News" finds a lot of stories by her (similar to this one) and one interesting item. They may or may not make it up, but a little creative borrowing might go on from time to time.
