Picking back up with that western back-op from the end of the last post:
"Iraqi gunmen seize 10 Sunni, Shi'ite sheiks" by Kim Gamel/Associated Press October 29, 2007
BAGHDAD - Gunmen in Baghdad snatched 10 Sunni and Shi'ite tribal sheiks from their cars yesterday as they were heading home to Diyala Province after talks with the government on fighting Al Qaeda, and at least one was later found shot to death.
The bold daylight kidnapping occurred as the top US commander in Iraq said the threat from the terror network has been significantly reduced in the capital.
Well this sure does stink!!!!!
Gee, who could have known where these men were?
"Al-CIA-Duh?" Or these guys? Or these guys? Or these guys?
This event REALLY has a western black-op STINK!!!!!!!!!
A suicide car bomber, meanwhile, struck a busy commercial area in the oil-rich, northern city of Kirkuk, killing at least eight people and wounding 26, police said.
I thought the surge had quelled the violence?
Pffffftttttt!
A new general assumed control of the region north of Baghdad, acknowledging that violence remains high but expressing confidence that the military has Al Qaeda on the run there as well.
So we have been lied to the last two months by the shit-shoveling, agenda-promoting MSM so the WARS can CONTINUE?
Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!
The two cars carrying the sheiks - seven Sunnis and three Shi'ites - were ambushed in Baghdad's predominantly Shi'ite neighborhood of Sha'ab at about 3:30 p.m., police officials said.
The sheiks were returning to Diyala Province after attending a meeting with the Shi'ite-dominated government's adviser for tribal affairs to discuss coordinating efforts against Al Qaeda in Iraq, police and a relative said.
Police found the bullet-riddled body of one of the Sunni sheiks, Mishaan Hilan, about 50 yards from where the ambush took place, an officer said, adding that the victim was identified after his cellphone was found on him.
A relative of one of the abducted Shi'ite sheiks blamed Sunni extremists and said the attackers picked a Shi'ite neighborhood to "create strife between Shi'ite and Sunni tribes that have united against Al Qaeda in the area." The well-planned attack was the latest to target anti-Al Qaeda tribal leaders and other officials in an apparent bid to intimidate them from joining the US-sponsored grass-roots strategy that the military says has contributed to a recent drop in violence.
Yeah, and CUI BONO, readers?
What really happened at the Golden Mosque in Samarra, readers?
Who are the "real terrorists," and what are they are doing in Iraq?
General David Petraeus, the top US commander in Iraq, said that the threat from Al Qaeda in several former strongholds in Baghdad has been significantly reduced but the group remains a potent threat. He singled out success in what had been some of the most volatile Sunni neighborhoods in Baghdad, including Ghazaliyah, Amariyah, Azamiyah, and Dora.
Petraeus said the reduced threat from Al Qaeda had given way to nonsectarian crimes - kidnapping, corruption in the oil industry, and extortion:
"Having said that . . . Al Qaeda remains a very dangerous and very lethal enemy of Iraq. As the terrible extremist threat of Al Qaeda has been reduced somewhat, there is in some Iraqi neighborhoods actually a focus on crime and on extortion that has been ongoing and kidnapping cells and what is almost a mafia-like presence in certain areas."
So the Iraqis are back to the Saddam Times -- only WORSE?
Gag, wretch, puke!!
The new commander for the region, Major General Mark Hertling, said the number of attacks so far in October had dropped by more than 300 from last month, although he did not provide more specific figures:
"The levels are still high in some of the northern provinces, but while they're still high . . . they have been decreasing significantly. We are in, I believe, a pursuit operation with Al Qaeda. They are targeting the concerned local citizens, the police stations, and some of the gathering places of sheiks . . . specifically to try and deter the Iraqi people from moving forward."
I get TIRED of the BULLSHIT LIES, folks!
In all, at least 35 people were killed or found dead across the nation, including the decomposing bodies of 12 Shi'ites found near the Diyala provincial capital of Baqubah, an army officer said.
Disgusting, and THAT is REDUCED VIOLENCE?
For the record: About 35 people a day were killed over the summer in Iraq -- and the number of Iraqis killed by the surge is around 300 per day, 10,000 per month, with over 1.2 million Iraqis dead since the invasion.
And that doesn't include the 1,654 killed in September -- a so-called reduction in violence.
Nor does it include any reports from the U.S. military's 75 air raids a day.
But VIOLENCE is DOWN, the shit-shoveling Zio-papers tell us!!!!
Pffffffffftttttttt!
An explosives-laden car also blew up near a market in Baghdad's northern Shi'ite district of Kazimiyah, killing at least two civilians and wounding 10, according to local police.
The suicide bombing in Kirkuk, 80 miles north of Baghdad, struck a mainly Kurdish area in the city, which has seen a rise in ethnic tensions as Iraq's Kurds try to strengthen their presence there as a prelude to annexing it to their nearby self-rule region.
Gee, considering the turmoil on the border with the "terrorist" Kurds, who gets a CUI BONO, here?
Turkomen?
The city's Arab and Turkomen residents dispute the Kurdish claim.
O.K., then maybe it is some other group with a bigger strategy (an AIPAC/Clean Break/PNAC strategy?).
Several cars and nearby stores and restaurants were set on fire and black smoke rose from the area as panicked people ran over bloodstained sidewalks.
On a separate subject, Petraeus offered some personal reflection on the plight of Sultan Hashim al-Tai, a Hussein-era defense minister who faces the death penalty after his conviction for his role in the Anfal campaign that killed tens of thousands of Kurds.
Un-fucking-real!!!!!
Yeah, this guy Tai has to be an USraeli agent; otherwise, he would not be GETTING OFF on CHEMICAL WEAPONS CHARGES!!!!!
The executions of Tai - along with Saddam Hussein's cousin "Chemical Ali" al-Majid and Hussein Rashid Mohammed, former deputy operations director for the Iraqi military - have been delayed as Iraqi politicians and legal experts wrangle over the refusal of President Jalal Talabani, himself a Kurd, to sign the order.
Tai, a Sunni Arab from the northern city of Mosul, negotiated the cease-fire that ended the 1991 Gulf War, when a US-led coalition drove Iraqi forces from Kuwait. He also surrendered to US forces in September 2003 after weeks of negotiations. His defense lawyers claimed the Americans had promised Tai "protection and good treatment" before he turned himself in."
Ha-ha-ha-ha!!!
Stoo-pid Iraqi Saddamist!!!!
Your as dumb as Saddam was, sir!
AmeriKa NEVER keeps its PROMISES!!!!!
