How much more evidence you need, readers?
This?
And did I mention the DOD's MSM press offices in Lincoln, the Pentagon, or Langley?
That's where the AmeriKan press gets their "reports."
Case closed!

So how many Iraqis dying in all of this?
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, mainly due to the U.S. military's 75 air raids a day, and the five-fold increase in air bombings.

"In Seized Video, Boys Train to Fight in Iraq, U.S. Says" by ALISSA J. RUBIN
BAGHDAD — The children in black — T-shirts, trousers and face masks — hoist AK-47s and pistols and rush toward an apparently unarmed man on a bicycle. In an instant they have surrounded him, shouting in the high voices of boys who are not yet men, “Put your hands behind your back.”
The man hesitates, looking confused. He is wearing a thin, untucked button-down shirt and looks vulnerable before the boys. They wave their guns, menacingly. As the video segment ends, he is kneeling on the dirt road as the boys close in and wave their guns at him.
The scene is from a video captured by the American military in December near Khan Bani Saad, a town in Diyala, a turbulent province northeast of Baghdad. The video, shown Wednesday by the military at a news conference, is believed to be part of a propaganda tape made by Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, the homegrown extremist group that American intelligence officials say has foreign leadership.
While this is not the first time that the military has found images of children in the insurgent group’s tapes and photos, the video has the largest volume of raw images that American forces have come across, a military spokesman said.
The insurgent group “wants to poison the next generation of Iraqis,” said Rear Adm. Gregory Smith, an American spokesman, at a briefing about the group’s use of women and children.
Military officials say they believe that the tapes are used during sessions with children in “the process of indoctrination and training that starts early to ensure they grow up to become future terrorists when they become of age,” he said.
Admiral Smith said the military believed that the adults playing the roles of victims in the video were probably the boys’ parents or other relatives and that the militant group had possibly intended to circulate the video either internally in extremist circles or on one of the 5,000 Web sites of its affiliates. The video was professionally made and easy to understand even for non-Arabic speakers.
In the tape, some of the boys look as if they are scarcely more than 10 or 11 years old, while others appear to be teenagers. Their energy and enthusiasm for what is almost a game, but with real guns, is palpable. After forcing the man off the bicycle, they stop a car and force the men out in a simulation of a kidnapping.
In another clip, a line of boys is seen running out of a house. As each boy emerges, he shouts “Allahu akbar!” (God is great.) Some of them speak uncertainly, half-stopping to turn to the camera; others say it as they are almost off screen. In a later scene they are sitting on the floor, their guns piled in the middle of the group, and they read a prayer.
Admiral Smith emphasized that the military did not believe that this was a real training camp, but rather a rehearsed propaganda piece meant to encourage people to go to real camps. The militant group has long used young people as spotters, watching for victims or for police officers or troops who might apprehend the insurgents.
However, the military offered no proof that suicide bombings or other attacks using teenagers had become a trend. Admiral Smith cited just two cases, in January, in which teenage boys were used as suicide bombers.
Similarly, several recent attacks have been carried out by women. Until 2007, the military found that women were bombers in five attacks. But since then 10 women have carried out attacks, 4 of them so far in 2008, Admiral Smith said. But he said it was too soon to say that it was a trend. The number of attacks carried out by women was small relative to the total number of attacks or even the total of suicide attacks.
The American and Iraqi military reiterated assertions made last week that the bombings at two pet markets in Baghdad were carried out by women with severe mental disabilities, but they did not offer forensic proof other than to say that the condition of the women’s heads, the only body parts found after the bombing, was consistent with people who have Down syndrome, a genetic disorder.
At this point I have drowned on the bullshit and lies, readers!
That's why there has been no highlighting or commentary.
In Anbar Province, tensions between Sunni factions appeared to be high. The tribal Awakening Council, which is now the most powerful group in the province but which lacks political influence, said it was giving members of the Iraqi Islamic Party 30 days to vacate the seats it holds in the provincial council.
The Islamic Party holds a disproportionate number of seats in Anbar and some other Sunni-majority provinces; while many Sunnis boycotted the last election, the Iraqi Islamic Party was one of the few Sunni parties on the ballot. Now, as other political factions have gained ground, they are seeking to oust the party and replace its members with homegrown groups. That effort is particularly strong in Anbar, where the tribes have joined to fight Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia and are an influential force.
Oh, so the Awakening is falling apart!
Yes, even the "successes" of the surge were BULLSHIT!
Which the Times happily slings anyway!
Indications from the government in Baghdad that provincial elections would not be held until fall prompted the anger. Tribal leaders said they had expected the government to hold elections in March. Either the elections should be held sooner or, in the meantime, the provincial council needs to be replaced, said one leader, Sheik Ali al-Suleiman.
Different accounts continued to emerge Wednesday in the American military’s killing of three people near Tikrit on Tuesday. Those killed were a farmer, his wife and his son; at least one daughter was wounded.
In a statement released Wednesday, the American military said its soldiers were fired on when they entered the house. As they moved through the house, they shot one man who was “holding a woman as a human shield.” A second man was killed by a soldier who believed the man had “hostile intent.”
I am sick of the U.S. MILITARY'S GOD-DAMNED LYING!!!!!!!!
"US faces new allegations of Iraqi civilian deaths"
"The latest deaths occurred when US soldiers, acting on tips, stormed a mud-brick house in the village of Adwar, 10 miles south of Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit.
Iraqi police, relatives, and neighbors said a couple and their 19-year-old son were shot to death in their beds.
Iraqi police also said two girls were wounded and one later died. AP Television News video showed the doors pockmarked with bullet holes and pillows and other bedding on the floor and soaked with blood."
But the U.S. MILITARY and its LIES CONTINUE!!!!!!!!!
While checking the rest of the house, they found a dead woman and a wounded girl, the military statement said. They said the woman had been killed in the first exchange of fire as the troops advanced on the house.
However, a cousin of the farmer said the military had mounted a large operation and had used overwhelming force against his relatives, who were poor and lived in a three-room house with cattle and sheep in the yard.
“When I entered my cousin’s house the next day, I saw pools of blood everywhere,” said the cousin, Abu Hamza, 41. “His body was showered with bullets; parts of his brain were on the bed. The same was true of his wife’s body.”
“We have no idea why they made this attack,” he said.
Yup, US. FUCKING MURDER RIGHT THERE!
GOD DAMN George W. Bush and HIS FUCKING WARS!!!!!
I want them ENDED RIGHT NOW!!!!!
Fucking GOD-DAMN MASS-MURDERING FUCKERS!!!!
Iraqi military officials in Samarra, an overwhelmingly Sunni area about 60 miles north of Baghdad, said Wednesday that they found a mass grave on Tuesday with 55 bodies in varying states of decay. The officials said they suspected it was the work of Islamic extremist groups."
By the way, where are all of Saddam Hussein's mass graves?
