Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf said that U.S.-led forces have not crossed the Tigris River and are not approaching Baghdad. But they have lost significant numbers of troops and equipment, he said.
"They are lying every day. They are lying always, and mainly they are lying to their public opinion," al-Sahaf said. "What they say about a breakthrough is completely an illusion."
