"The media which has printed these lies and presented the horrors of the day according to the angle desired by those who operate it have become their own worst enemy. They are daily providing the evidence that they lie. Truth tellers on the internet are turning over every rock they tried to bury the truth beneath."
And the Times did it again today, trying to tell us the situation is calming down when NOTHING has CHANGED!
"Iraqi Forces Regain Control in Basra"
I'm tired of DECEPTIVE HEADLINES, readers!
Just like the rest of their articles!!!!!
BAGHDAD — Iraqi security forces fanned out into the suburbs and ports of Basra on Wednesday, as life in that southern city slowly began to return to normal, with government offices reopening and residents venturing more confidently into the streets.
Yeah, this is normal and there is a truce!!! Sigh!!
Witnesses said that Iraqi forces now controlled central Basra and its northern border, and that they had begun moving into militia strongholds north of the city.
So the operation is CONTINUING, isn't it?!
Aaaaaaarrrrgggghhh!!!!
But sporadic violence continued.... Two Iraqi Army convoys were blocked from delivering medical supplies to neighborhoods where combat was heaviest during a six-day standoff between militiamen and government troops. One of the convoys was hit by a roadside bomb, the other by bullets.
A British Tornado fighter bombed rocket rails used to fire at Iraqi forces, the United States Air Force’s central public affairs office said. And a sniper wounded an Iraqi television cameraman traveling with one of the convoys.
Maj. Gen. Kevin J. Bergner, a spokesman for the American military, said at a news conference on Wednesday that two Iraqi Army battalions and a company of Iraqi marines had moved into Basra’s ports “to re-establish legitimate authority and control.”
The lucrative port operations in Basra are widely believed to be controlled by the militia of the Fadhila political party, which split from Mr. Sadr’s party.
That's what this is all about -- CONTROL of the PORT!!!
And it is NOT EVEN Sadr's guys?
Then WHY WE KILLING THEM?
Ali al-Siaidi, a spokesman for the Sadr party in Basra, said that in the Hayaniya neighborhood, where fighting raged last week, “there are raids and arrests and random shooting by the army on houses.”
In Baghdad, American and Iraqi troops continued to encircle the Sadr City neighborhood, which is dominated by the Mahdi Army militia.
Sigh!!! Yup, but everything is returning to normal!!
Which it is; the New York Times is LYING about IRAQ again!
Haitham Ibrahim, 27, a cameraman for the Iraqi television station Al Diyar, lost his legs when a homemade bomb exploded near where he was filming in the neighborhood, the manager of the station said.
Unconfirmed reports said that another bomb in Sadr City had killed five civilians riding in a minibus.
FRU or the Proactive, Preemptive Operations Group?
Still, trucks entered the embattled area on Wednesday bearing food and other supplies, and the price of groceries, which doubled during the violence last week, was starting to decline, residents said.
Elsewhere in Baghdad, the capital, a mortar shell landed in the Yarmuk neighborhood, wounding a civilian and an Iraqi soldier. And gunmen attacked a car on Masbah Street, killing two women who worked for a communications company.
In Diyala Province, north of Baghdad, an Iraqi interpreter was killed, and three American soldiers were injured by a homemade bomb in Muqdadiya, American military officials said.
And in Salahuddin Province in the north, four people were killed and four others were kidnapped, including the leader of the Janabee tribe, when their van was ambushed by gunmen in Dhuluiya."
Yeah, violence is down and Iraq is just fine!
Sigh!
Five years of fucking MSM lies is ENOUGH!!!!!!
By the way, readers, I already previewed both the New York Times and Boston Globe online, and this is the only article worth viewing.
Needless to say, I won't be purchasing either one today!
