Already previewed the papers. Nothing in them, as usual, so I didn't buy them. Amazing how these shit rags HIDE WARS, KILLINGS, and so many other things!
Number of Iraqis killed yesterday, as reported by the New York Times: 0
Must be the SURGE "SUCCESS," huh?
Why does the Times even bother with editorials?
From the Times North, a.k.a. the Boston Globe (it's the media shit I gotta eat, world):
"Helicopter gunships attacked suspected insurgent hide-outs and US and Iraqi soldiers staged simultaneous raids across Iraq yesterday as coalition forces unleashed the full force of the US troop buildup with Operation Phantom Strike.
[Another Operation Whatever!
Fucking NEVER-ENDING, but ALWAYS MAKING LIE... I mean, "PROGRESS."
Yeah, if KILLING PEOPLE is "PROGRESS!"
Particularly people of the Muslim faith.
Which it is to this MASS-MURDERING CABAL of CRIMINALS heading the U.S. GOVERNMENT!]
The US-led commando operations targeted Al Qaeda in Iraq and Shi'ite Muslim militants by striking at reported safe havens.... At least 17 suspected insurgent leaders were captured.... The operation was touted by US military officials.... It followed recent coalition offensives aimed at flushing militants from their support zones, disrupting supply lines, and capturing or killing "high-value" suspects.
Major General Rick Lynch, whose Task Force Marne waged strikes on insurgent nests in the volatile Tigris and Euphrates river valleys: "The intent is to keep the enemy on the run."
[And KILL as many as possible, NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE!!
Never mind that those people NEVER DID ANYTHING TO US!!!
Because THIS WAR is BASED on LIES!!!!!!]
Witnesses in Tikrit, Ramadi, Fallujah, Mosul, and Samarra reported seeing helicopters sweep over suspected insurgent hide-outs, blasting them with rockets... 15 insurgents were killed.
In Samarra, US forces raiding a house failed to find a suspected leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq and arrested his three brothers.
[Yeah, that "Al-CIA-Duh" sure is slippery!]
At least six civilians died in the air and ground attacks, including a man in Hillah who was shot in the chest after he approached a US convoy.
Despite the US-led crackdown... attacks continued. Gunmen stopped the car of Sunni tribal leader Sheikh Shalan Abdul Karim Issawi in Diyala Province, seizing him and a bodyguard. The manager of a refugee charity office in Basra was also kidnapped.
In Baghdad, 18 bullet-riddled bodies were found yesterday morning."
And here is what the shit AmeriKan media is NOT TELLING YOU!
