Pffffft!
I'm tired of the propaganda and lies, readers.

"Iraqis Blame U.S. for Deaths of 8 Backing American Effort"
"Leaders in two Iraqi villages denounced American troops on Saturday for what they described as the killings of an Iraqi family and three other people who were working with the Americans against the insurgents.
Yeah, killing our ALLIES!
If the surge was so successful, readers, then how can this be happening?
Or were we LIED TO ONCE AGAIN about Iraq by the New York Times?
In one of the villages, Zab, nearly 1,000 mourners flocked Saturday to the funeral of family members of a sheik who died in an attack there. The American military has denied having operations in the area at the time.
At least five people were killed there Thursday night.
In the other village, Jurf al Sukr, a number of Iraqi guardsmen quit Saturday to protest the killings. The America military said it was investigating, but indicated that its troops had been fired upon and returned fire.
I'm tired of the U.S. military's excuses and lies, readers!
Three people were killed there early Friday.
The killings were the latest in a series of claims of mistaken attacks by American forces on the informal Iraqi allies known as Awakening Councils. In some of these cases, it remains unclear precisely what happened.
And how much you wanna bet the New York Times won't investigate and find out, readers?
The American military has acknowledged the accidental killings of more than 25 people in Taji in November, and several members of an Awakening group near Iskandariya this month.
In a disputed case, six men who were said to be Awakening Council members and two women were killed near Raween in Salahuddin Province early Thursday. The Iraqi police and the American military say the Americans were fired on first.
The Awakening Councils are locally organized so it is often difficult to verify someone’s membership from a distance.
There were varying accounts of the killings in Zab, which is in the rough mountainous area that stretches between Mosul, Kirkuk and Bayji in northern Iraq. However, a sheik who lived next door to the family who was attacked said five people had been killed there and 13 arrested.
Kudair al-Jubori, the sheik, said:
“[after dinner, my neighbor’s daughter] went out of her house and was shot by a sniper in the head, leg and stomach. She screamed, and her 11-year-old daughter heard her mother, and she ran to her and got shot, too. Then the woman’s brother-in-law, who was 40 years old, came out and he was killed.”
May God forgive the United States of AmeriKa for what we have done in Iraq!!!
Soon after, the woman’s uncle emerged carrying a gun and was killed. A fifth person was killed as well, Sheik Jubori said.
The dead woman’s husband had been killed previously by insurgents, he said.
He added, “They could have warned the locals with loudspeakers that they are Americans and came to chase terrorists and not treat locals as if they were terrorists or crooks.”
That's what OCCUPATION IS!!!
Local leaders said that as the community gathered Saturday to mourn the dead, American officers came to apologize.
Sheik Muhammad Abdullah al-Jubori, a retired English teacher:
“As the Americans approached the mourners, those who were grieving wore expressions of sadness and hatred. I was afraid that some of them might attack the coming force, or even refuse to receive them. But since we are antiterrorism warriors, and in order to prove our good intentions, we were patient and used dialogue and understanding, but in a hard, upset and angry language.”
The villagers said the soldiers came from a base near Hawija, west of Kirkuk.
Jurf al Sukr, where the three Awakening members were killed, is in Babil Province, about 30 miles south of Baghdad. The Americans said they had returned fire there; however, they seemed unaware that there had been an Awakening Council checkpoint there.
If we don't know what our friends are doing, why should I believe the military when they have such detailed reports on what "terrorists" are doing in Iraq?
Readers...
Abu Abbas, a policeman in Mussayib, a nearby town, said the bodies from Jurf al Sukr were brought there early Saturday “riddled with bullets.”
He said they were wearing clothing that identified them as Awakening Council members. In many places, Awakening members wear bright orange vests."

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.
