To be confirmed by the rigged November election, no doubt!!!
"McCain visits Iraq on anniversary of Kurdish massacre"
"by Ryan Lenz, Associated Press | March 17, 2008
BAGHDAD - Senator John McCain, the likely Republican presidential nominee, arrived in Baghdad yesterday for a visit with Iraqi and US diplomatic and military officials.
Along with Dick Cheney!!!!
Think they will run into each other?
How come our guys have to make "surprise, unannounced visits," but Ahmadinejad can get full state honors and travel anywhere at will?
The trip by McCain, who has linked his political future to US military success in the nearly five-year-old war, coincided with the 20th anniversary of a horrific chemical weapons attack in northern Iraq....
Yeah, never mind American use of chemical weapons in Fallujah in 2004!!!!!
McCain expressed public worries that militants in Iraq might try to influence the November general election.
"Yes, I worry about it," the Arizona senator said, responding to a question during a campaign appearance in Pennsylvania. "And I know they pay attention, because of the intercepts we have of their communications."
Yeah, "Al-CIA-Duh" always tries to influence elections!!!!
McCain, the senior Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, was accompanied by senators Joseph Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, and Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, two top supporters of his presidential ambitions.
What, Lieberman have the lip-lock on McCain's nutsack?
That why he is EVERYWHERE with him?
How about the Connecticut voters and your JOB, Joe?
What the fuck you doing in Iraq with McCain?
The weeklong trip will take McCain to Israel, Britain, and France, and include his first meeting with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. He also is expected to meet with President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, and Israeli officials including Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
Like he already is president, huh?
Elsewhere, Kurds in northern Iraq commemorated the anniversary of the chemical weapons attack in Halabja, near the Iranian border, with solemn observances. The streets were empty and heavily patrolled by Iraqi security forces.
Saddam Hussein ordered the 1988 attack as part of a scorched-earth campaign to crush a Kurdish rebellion in the north, which was seen as aiding Iran near the end of its war with Iraq. Hussein was executed for other crimes against humanity before he could face trial for the attacks....
Yeah, got him strung up before he could divulge to many secrets!
After all, Saddam was a U.S. ASSET when he GASSED the Kurds!!!!
The Zionist press didn't leave you with that impression, even though they allude to the Kurds helping Iran(?).
Maybe THAT'S WHY they got the gas, huh?
Saddam was OUR FRIEND when he did it, too!!!!!
Violence continues in some parts of the country, according to reports from police officials.
Yesterday, a parked car bomb exploded in western Baghdad's Mansour neighborhood, killing one person and wounding two others. Two civilians and nine others were wounded in Mosul after a suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest, police said. A roadside bomb killed another person in the northwestern city.
Just outside Baqouba, the capital of restive Diyala Province, three people were killed in clashes between police and a faction of Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army, police said. In the city, gunmen killed a city hall employee, police said.
Police also found the bullet-riddled bodies of at least 16 people in Baghdad, Muqdadiyah, Mosul, and the southern cities of Basra and Kut, where Shi'ite militia violence has been on the rise."
But all we'll be hearing for the next 8 months is the surge worked, blah, blah, blah.
In other words, the SAME OLD BULLSHIT the MSM has been shoveling all along!!!!
Notice how the violence -- if it appears at all -- generally is carried in the second half of the MSM's shit squirts?
As if DEAD IRAQIS are an AFTERTHOUGHT to the SUCCESS of Iraq!!!
You know how I feel about the AmeriKan MSM, readers, so I'm not even typing it!
