I think the military brass is putting out these stories to forestall the Neo-Cons imminent invasion of Iran.
See the Iraqis respecting their dead?
"Iran halting weapons flow, general says; Points to fewer bombing attacks throughout Iraq" by Ned Parke/Los Angeles Times November 16, 2007
BAGHDAD - Iran appears to be honoring an informal pledge to halt the smuggling of explosives and other weapons into Iraq, contributing to a drop of bombings by nearly a half since March, a senior US general said yesterday.
Major General James Simmons:
"We have not seen any recent evidence that weapons continue to come across the border into Iraq. We believe that the initiatives and the commitments that the Iranians have made appear to be holding up."
The reduction of such attacks coincides with the overall decrease in violence since the start of the Baghdad security plan, which saw an additional 28,500 American soldiers arrive in Iraq from February to June.
Yeah, repeat and repeat the surge success lie, 'eh?
Al Qaeda in Iraq and splinter groups from Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militia are behind many of the attacks still occurring, Simmons said.
Of course. Always gotta be somebody, even if we have to do it to ourselves!
Simmons' comments were among the most upbeat so far by an American official regarding Iran's alleged role in Iraqi violence.
That's because the real military, those who care about the services, don't want to see it demolished with another unnecessary war!
Violence by militias and criminal gangs against ordinary Iraqis is still pervasive in Basra."
How come I never hear about that from my shit MSM?
And does this mother and child look happy to see our men?
Yeah, they look real happy to see us, so much so that the girl is crying, huh?
And if we were never there, there is no car bomb (unless it was CIA sabotage under Bill Clinton).
"Fewer Roadside Bombs in Iraq, U.S. Says" by STEPHEN FARRELL
BAGHDAD, Nov. 15 — An American military official on Thursday reported a sharp decrease in the number of roadside bombs and other homemade explosive devices in Iraq. The official, Maj. Gen. James E. Simmons, said Iran, which American officials contend is the source of the deadliest of those weapons, appeared to be abiding by a reported commitment to halt their flow into Iraq.
He said most such attacks were now in northern Iraq. There have been indications that Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, the homegrown Sunni extremist group that American intelligence agencies say is led by foreigners, has shifted some of its activities out of Baghdad and Anbar Province, where they have been challenged by American and Iraqi security forces and the “Awakening” movement of Sunni tribes.
Yup, "Al-CIA-Duh" ALWAYS on the MOVE!
"Al Qaeda" is not what it seems
FUCKING STOP LYING, SHIT PRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simmons said the attacks involving improvised explosive devices were mainly carried out by elements of the insurgent group and criminal groups formerly associated with the Mahdi Army, a Shiite militia affiliated with the anti-American cleric Moktada al-Sadr. According to an American explosives expert based in northern Iraq, explosively formed penetrators were “predominantly” weapons used by Shiite militias, whereas Sunni groups tend to rely on buried roadside bombs and land mines.
Gee, HOW do they know so much about "enemies" they can't defeat, huh?
Certainly can't be because of U.S. intelligence.
That's all shit!
Simmons: “The fighting in Al Anbar and the success in Baghdad has forced these terrorists out of those areas and into that battle space, and they take their preferred method of killing people with them whenever they are pushed into other areas of Iraq.”
In Kirkuk, north of Baghdad, a suicide car bomber on Thursday killed six people when he rammed his vehicle into a police convoy. The police said that the dead included three schoolchildren and that the person who seemed to be the target, Gen. Khattab Abdullah Aref, a senior policeman who has led the fight against Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia in the area, was seriously wounded.
Six bodies were found in Baghdad on Thursday, Iraqi police officials said."
Oh, about those death tolls:
35 people killed every day, with the number of Iraqis killed by the surge around 300 per day, 10,000 per month -- and 1.2 million Iraqis dead since the invasion (not including the 1,654 killed in September), mainly due to the U.S. military's 75 air raids a day, and the five-fold increase in air bombings.
