It's like a daily lie fest when AmeriKa's Zionist-controlled War Dailies report on Iraq.
Can't believe they are telling the tuth about anything anymore.
Sorry! Do you think it even matters to these women?
Yeah, Iraq is JUST GRAND!
"Violence in Iraq Still Falling, but Pace of Decline Slows"
Overall violence continues to decline in Iraq, although the rate of decrease has slowed since September and a few indicators have actually gone up in recent weeks, according to U.S. military figures released yesterday by the White House.
That's all right. They sold us the lie of surge success already, and we ate it up!!
The number of bomb, small-arms, mortar and sniper attacks, as well as attacks against Iraqi infrastructure, remained virtually unchanged over six weeks. Significantly, the data show a continuation of the precipitous decline in blasts caused by improvised explosive devices -- IEDS.
Although the number of "high profile" explosions fell, including those from roadside and car bombs, there was a slight increase in suicide attacks. Sectarian deaths were down slightly, and overall civilian deaths fell to just below 400 a month, according to information gathered by the Multi-National Force-Iraq (MNF-I). That number increases by 50 percent if data gathered by the Iraqi government is included.
Release of the data comes as the Pentagon is preparing its quarterly statistical report on Iraq for Congress. The Pentagon's use of different yardsticks -- monthly rather than weekly attacks, civilian casualties rather than civilian deaths, not including Iraqi government data -- has been a source of controversy.
When?
The differing measurements have been a source of confusion in the past.
Pfffttt! So no one knows what the fuck is going on!
In Iraq yesterday, the outgoing U.S. commander for Baghdad said the number of attacks in the capital had fallen almost 80 percent since November 2006, murders in Baghdad province were down by 90 percent over the same period, and vehicle-borne bombs had declined by 70 percent. Army Maj. Gen. Joseph F. Fil did not provide numbers behind the percentages.
Translation: HE'S LYING!!
Bush brought EVEN ONE SOLDIER home yet?
Wouldn't the "tv news" have covered it if he had?
Responding to a question about a faster reduction in troop levels, as some in Congress have demanded, Fil said that "an immediate pullout too quickly would be a real serious threat to stability here in Baghdad."
You ain't coming home, soldier.
They'll send you to Afghanistan first!
"Iraq Leaders Denounce Bombings by Turkey" by DAMIEN CAVE
The Turkish attacks in Dohuk Province on Sunday — involving dozens of warplanes and artillery — were the largest known cross-border attack since 2003. They occurred with at least tacit approval from American officials.
The Iraqi government, however, said it had not been consulted or informed about the attacks.
But they got "sovereignty!"
Massoud Barzani, leader of the autonomous Kurdish region in the north, condemned the assaults as a violation of Iraqi sovereignty that had undermined months of diplomacy. “These attacks hinder the political efforts exerted to find a peaceful solution based on mutual respect,” he said in a statement.
That's a good idea, yeah!
At a news conference in Najaf, he went further, declaring that “the Americans are responsible because the Iraqi sky is under their full control.”
The bombing raids focused on an area where some commanders for the Kurdish militant group, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, known by its Kurdish initials, P.K.K., were believed to have been hiding.
The Turkish military said on its Web site that it had conducted “casualty and damage analysis” of the areas it hit in the airstrikes, and it concluded that “all intended targets have been successfully hit.” Reports in the Turkish news media said the United States had detected movement by the Kurdish militants and, suspecting a meeting of the group, had given the information to Turkey.
How does that knife feel in your back, Kurds?
One Turkish official said the attack would help to persuade the militants to consider a surrender. “It has international backing,” the official said. “We hit specific targets. We’ll do it again if we have to.”
Turkey, a NATO member, has thousands of troops at the Iraqi border and was threatening a military operation into northern Iraq. But it appears to be using a more limited offensive, as the United States requested.
Yeah, U.S. is HAPPY when you AIR BOMB people!
The assault was the second set of strikes against the Kurdish militant group since Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey met with President Bush in Washington last month. In the first strikes, on Dec. 1, artillery was fired from Turkish territory.
Elsewhere in Iraq, more than 20 people were killed or found dead in and around Baquba, the largest city in Diyala Province. The police said a suicide motorcycle bomber had killed at least seven people and wounded 24 in one of the city’s markets. Six were killed in two separate shootings. Two died from roadside bombs, and the authorities found six bodies in two locations on the city’s western outskirts.
Farther north near the Mosul dam, a truck bomb severely damaged a bridge over the Tigris River, killing at least one member of the Iraqi security forces. In central Baghdad, a roadside bomb killed two people in a minibus and wounded seven others, police and hospital officials said."
Yup, Iraq is JUST GREAT NOW!
Ooooooh! The lies, reader, the lies!
