213. The "truth"? That is perhaps a great example of slanted, one-sided "journalism"
Edited on Mon Jan-18-10 10:23 PM by PacerLJ35
As the narrator states that the US is turning away non-US military aircraft, you can see in the background a Qatari C-17, Chilean 757, British HS.125, and an unidentified nation's Russian-made TU-154 (the US doesn't operate those). Additionally in the background I saw a couple helicopters that didn't appear to be US (it was hard to tell because of the quality of the film, but they did not immediately appear to be US).

The video also states that US military personnel are guarding the airport and they are patrolling the city, while most of the video clearly shows non-US troops that belong to a UN force.

The fact the video was made and distributed by al Jazeera is duly noted.
