"Britain Delays Cutting Troops in Iraq"
"Britain froze plans Tuesday to withdraw about 1,500 soldiers this spring after the faltering effort to drive Shiite militias from Basra raised doubts whether the Iraqis are capable of maintaining security in oil-rich southern Iraq....
Guess that means they can continue with the false-flag operations, huh?

Occupation Iraq: British Bombers
Figures compiled by the ministries of health, interior and defense showed that at least 1,720 people were killed in politically motivated violence in March. That was up sharply from the 953 figure for February.
Figures tabulated by The Associated Press from police and U.S. military reports put the March death toll as of Monday at 1,247 -- nearly double the February figure and the biggest monthly toll since August, when 1,956 people died violently....
Now wait a minute!!!
I was told earlier today that the number was 923!!
Now it could be NEARLY DOUBLE THAT?
WTF?!
Numbers ONLY GOING UP, huh?
With a LYING, OBFUSCATING MSM low-balling it!
Yup, SURGE SUCCESS, all right!
Sigh!!!
Sporadic fighting continued Tuesday in Baghdad and Basra, but the cities were generally calm. Several rounds were fired late Tuesday toward the Green Zone, but there were no reports of damage or casualties.
So the MSM that lied us into this mess and continue to lie about it say anyway!
Before dawn Tuesday, a U.S. helicopter fired a missile at gunmen attacking American ground forces in the Baghdad militia stronghold of Sadr City, killing six militants, the U.S. military said. Iraqi police and witnesses said three civilians were killed in the strike.
The Iraqi Red Crescent Society, the Muslim world's equivalent of the Red Cross, complained Tuesday that U.S. forces prevented its relief convoy from getting into Sadr City.
So we are JUST LIKE the STINK-SHIT ISRAELIS!!!!!!!!
Oh, God help us all!!!!!

A Red Crescent official, Ammar Khalid Saied, told AP Television News that his convoy tried to deliver food, medical supplies and water to Sadr City but could not get permission from the U.S. to enter the area.
A U.S. spokesman, Maj. Mark Cheadle, said American soldiers were not blocking humanitarian convoys but were checking vehicles because ''criminal and terrorist groups'' sometimes hijacked them to transport weapons and fighters.
Pfffffft!

Elsewhere, police and Mahdi militiamen exchanged gunfire early Tuesday in Nasiriyah, police and residents said. Three policemen were killed, and a desk to dawn curfew was imposed on the surrounding province, officials said."
