And still standing down!
First, the New York Times' coverage of the violence in Iraq yesterday (for the week-ender shit-eater):
Get the point, readers?
Now for the other War Daily:
"Sadr aide says cleric may end cease-fire; Anger over raids is the key factor" by Sameer N. Yacoub/Associated Press October 27, 2007
BAGHDAD - Radical Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr could end a ban on his militia's activities because of rising anger over US and Iraqi raids against his followers, an aide said yesterday amid concerns about rising violence.
Rising violence? A) the papers aren't reporting that, so WTF and b) I was told the surge was securing the place and violence had dropped.
WTF?
Sadr's call for a six-month cease-fire has been credited with a sharp drop in the number of fatal shootings on the streets of Iraq, which are believed to be victims of Shi'ite death squads.
Sadr's credit?
Fuck that, it's the American troop surge -- at least, that's what my Zionist-controlled War Dailies have been reporting!
Baghdad police found three people slain execution-style and bearing signs of torture yesterday, compared with the dozens often found on a typical day before Sadr's declaration. The morgue in the southern city of Kut received two bodies, including one pulled from the Tigris River.
Another five Iraqis were killed in attacks nationwide, including a woman who was caught up in a suicide attack north of Baghdad while walking to the market.
The US military reported that an American soldier was killed and four were wounded in southern Baghdad on Thursday when their unit was hit with an explosively formed penetrator, or EFP. The United States claims Iran supplies Shi'ite militants with the weapon, which fires an armor-piercing, fist-sized copper slug.
Here the y go again with the bullshit war-mongering!
The United States welcomed Sadr's August cease-fire declaration but has continued to target what it says are Iranian-backed breakaway factions of his Mahdi Army militia, and appears to have escalated the campaign recently.
But WE NEVER HEAR ABOUT THAT in AmeriKa!!!!!!
Just as I've known for years: if it's not "CIA-Duh" then it's "Mahdis," and if it weren't them, they would come up with some other "enemy."
The military said US paratroopers in combat yesterday in the southern Shi'ite city of Hillah found a cache of weapons including 27 Iranian-made 107mm rockets and two launch systems, each capable of firing 20 rockets at once. The military has announced a series of such finds in recent days as it seeks to bolster its claim of Iranian support for rogue Shi'ite fighters.
More bullshit war-drumming!
The United States also said this week that American forces killed 49 Shi'ite extremists in a ground and air assault in the militia stronghold of Sadr City.
Sadr nonetheless renewed his appeal to uphold the cease-fire and threatened to expel Mahdi Army members who don't in what his office called a response to questions from supporters about whether the cease-fire still applied in the face of the US crackdown.
But he doesn't get credit for it?
Why is this stuck in the back of the piece?
Sadr aide Sheik Assad al-Nasseri said during a sermon in Kufa that patience with US operations was running out and the freeze could be lifted anytime.
Nasseri told worshippers:
"It was one decision which could end in one minute and then they will be sorry.''
We sure will be if the Shi'ite turn on AmeriKa!
They would destroy our army, forcing Bush to use nukes!
He blamed U.S. and Iraqi security forces for killing civilians in the crackdown, singling out recent military operations against militia fighters in the mainly Shiite cities of Diwaniyah, 80 miles south of Baghdad, and Karbala, 50 miles south of the capital.
Nasseri: "The detention campaigns against al-Sadr's people were not conducted according to issued arrest warrants as they claim. They went so far as to assault women and children in front of husbands, brothers and fathers. These are shameful things. ... They are more unjust to us than the Saddamists.''
Now THAT is ONE HELL of a STATEMENT!!!!!!
That is George Bush's "LIBERATION," huh, the fucking miserable failure!!!?
Sadr's people are saying Saddam was better?!
After the Mahdis are the ones who allegedly hung him?
Starts to make you question that whole event now!
After all, those guys had black masks on!!!!
Is it possible that the hanging of Saddam was ONCE AGAIN a staged managed event by America?
Is it, readers?
Nasseri also complained that an agreement to end violence between followers of al-Sadr and rival Shiite politician Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim had failed to yield tangible results.
You know, we never hear about the Iranian-backed SCIRI forces (Hakim's group) that are opposing Muqtada -- and that the U.S. BROUGHT BACK IN when they INVADED!!!!!
Same old, same old, from the shitty Zionist War Dailies!
A spokesman for Iraq's top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, called on the Iraqi government to stop the rampant violence, largely blamed on the clashing factions, that is plaguing the mainly Shiite south.
Gee, and CUI BONO on that one?
Warning that inaction could further alienate Iraqis from the political process, Sheik Abdul-Mahdi al-Karbalai said in a separate sermon in Karbala that 200 people had been killed in the past three months in the city of Basra alone and accused the government of failing to hold the attackers accountable. He also decried unabated kidnapping and oil smuggling in the south.
Karbalai urged Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and other political leaders:
"Activate a security operation and to hold lawbreakers accountable. It is the right of the citizen to enjoy stability and security. If these aspirations are not met, who will guarantee that the citizens will continue supporting the political process."
In Muqdadiyah, about 60 miles north of Baghdad, the woman shopper was killed when a suicide attacker detonated his explosives belt after he was unable to get through the main gate of the headquarters of the 1920s Revolution Brigades.
The brigades is a loose network of Saddam Hussein loyalists that recently broke with al-Qaida and has seen several members join forces with the U.S. Three other women, along with a member of the brigades, were wounded.
Elsewhere in Diyala, a bomb exploded near a village south of the town of Buhriz, killing a farmer. Two civilians were killed in a mortar attack near Muqdadiyah, police said.
A roadside bomb struck a police patrol in the Daghara area north of Diwaniyah, killing two officers and wounding three others, a police official said.
I thought the violence was down? WTF?
