"Green Zone hit by barrage of artillery "
Another rewrite and reedit!!!
WTF?!
"The heavily fortified Green Zone was hit by a sustained barrage of rocket or mortar fire early this morning, one day after a roadside bomb killed three American soldiers north of the capital, pushing the US death toll in the five-year conflict to nearly 4,000.
What happened to that security surge?
This is the GREEN ZONE, after all!!!!
You know, the HEART of BAGHDAD!!!!
Just another MSM lie, right?
Also yesterday, Iraqi authorities reported that a US air strike north of the capital killed six members of a US-backed Sunni group....
Oooooops!!!!!!
A US attack helicopter fired on two checkpoints manned by US-allied Sunni fighters near Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad, killing six and injuring two, Iraqi police said.
The US military said an AH-64
The next two paragraphs were cut from the web piece!
A local official said the attack occurred about two hours after American soldiers stopped at the two checkpoints to meet the Sunni fighters.
Lieutenant Colonel Dhiya Mahmoud Ahmed, an Iraqi military officer in charge of security in the area, said he told the Americans after the attack that he had been aware of the friendly checkpoints for two days."
What the FUCK, readers?!?
So we KNEW WHO THEY WERE?!?!
