Amazing. The most killed in a single day since the surge began and it is buried on the back page of the news while the media milks every angle of the mass murder of 32 people and the suicide of the gunman. People who are gung ho for death, destruction and mayhem in Iraq under the guise of "giving them freedom and do not even flinch at the numbers of dead and wounded men, women, children and babies reported DAILY for 4 years, can somehow become super emotional about the deaths of 33 due to not so rare American style violence.


33 vs 233? Not even close, eh America?
Orwell was right in animal farm. "of course all animals are equal, but some animals are MORE equal than others"

RIP all who are falling these days on this, and the other side of the world due to our penchant for mayhem and violence--cloaked as a just cause.

Baghdad security has improved a bit, but the gains will be lost unless Iraqis find a way to bring minority Sunnis fully into the government, the new commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East said Wednesday. Navy Adm. William Fallon, who replaced Army Gen. John Abizaid as chief of U.S. Central Command last month, offered a House panel his assessment of progress and setbacks in Iraq after his first visit there. "The things I see on a daily basis give me some cause for optimism, but I have to tell you that hardly a week goes by %u2014 almost a day hardly goes by %u2014 without some major event that causes us to lose ground," Fallon said.


When did he say this before or after the bombings today? The news and there sources place blame on certain groups for the attacks that occur on what basis? Where is the evidence that specific groups do these attacks? A attack on Shiites has to be the result of the Sunnis or Al Queda? A attack on Sunnis has to be a attack from the Shiites?Certain individuals that are commanding the groups all want the same thing regardless of who they sacrifice and that is control of the nation and its wealth from the oil.In other words Shiites can jointly attack not only Sunnis but fellow Shiites and vice versa.By shifting the blame from one group to another instead of identifying the individual commanders of these groups that have ordered the attacks it perpetuates a constant equivalent retaliation.

Re: "The U.S. military reported that a suspected insurgent was killed and eight captured in two raids north of Baghdad on Wednesday. Some of the suspects were believed linked to al Qaeda in Iraq"

So we see that the Western corporate media continues to prop up the "al-Qaeda-in-Iraq" hoax, with yet another un-attributed an unsupported claim concerning the activities of this mysteriously vague, and most likely fictitious group. Ooga-booga!

CBS/AP really ups the ante with the above claim. These alleged suspects are not only "believed" to be 'al Qaeda-in-Iraq', and they are not simply "linked" to this group, but apparently some alleged unknown and unnamed spokesman for the entire U.S. military, offers us a daring "believed linked" claim here, according to the unknown writer of this article.

To the writer(s)-

Millions of Iraqis have been displaced, and millions more have been tortured, raped, killed, &/or maimed, as a direct result of the illegal U.S. led invasion. The primary responsibility for this compounding disgrace, and multi-front defeat, lies directly at the feet of our current/recent national leadership, and of our mainstream media.

The truth is: we (U.S.) are fighting and killing the Iraqi people. There is no evidence of and significant group of "foreign fighters", if any, and the Iraqi people obviously have every right to defend themselves against the brutal and illegal invasion of their country.

God help America.

The tragic, sick death and destruction at Virginia Tech unfortunately happens, 5 fold, EVERY DAY in Iraq.

So Bush and Cheney's LYING us into WAR has caused about 10,000 times the human suffering as that we have had to witness at Virginia Tech.

Lets put Cheney and Bush in JAIL where they belong! Why should we have murderous thugs running OUR country?

See how Gates pushed the blame on al Qaeda as it would hurt the Fuhrers plan in Iraq. They need money and support and won't get it by saying Iraqi insurgents are to blame.

The surge is just more troops, but nothing else has changed and will not change time to face it kids.
