Sigh!
The "most intense days of fighting here involving U.S. troops in recent months," and yet the shit AmeriKan MSM is still hiding it and calling the violence reduced.
And if you don't know why, readers, this is why: Because as quickly as they brought it to you (because they are pushing an agenda and thought it would be a success), they remove it from your view (because they are pushing an agenda and it failed)!
And today we will be treated to the lies of Petraeus.
"Fighting intensifies in Iraq's capital"
"by Tina Susman Los Angeles Times April 7, 2008
BAGHDAD — Three more U.S. troops were killed Monday as Iraqis struggled to bury their dead amid fierce street battles between Shiite Muslim militias and Iraqi and American soldiers in the nation's capital.
In one of the most intense days of fighting here involving U.S. troops in recent months, American helicopters fired at least four Hellfire missiles and an Air Force jet dropped a bomb on a suspected militia target.
So WHERE did those MISSILES and BOMB land and WHO was KILLED, MSM?
Rockets and missiles launched from militia strongholds pounded U.S. bases around the city, where U.S. troops also came under fire from small arms and rocket-propelled grenades. Targets included the Green Zone, where the U.S. Embassy and most Iraqi government buildings are located....
The fighting and rising death toll are likely to raise new questions about the role of the U.S. in Iraq, and how to define progress or success, as Army Gen. David H. Petraeus appears before Congress today with his latest assessment of the war....
Somehow, the media and politicians that failed us and lied to us asking a bunch of questions... well, it doesn't impress me and it doesn't mean much to me.
Sorry, but until we GET the HELL OUT of THERE and the MSM start REPORTING the TRUTH, I'm grain-of-salting it!!!!
Petraeus, the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, is sure to be questioned in Washington about the upward spiral of American deaths and the continuing conflict between Iraqis....
Last year was the deadliest for Americans since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003.
Mission SUCCESS (with all the sarcasm I can summon)!!
Makes me wanna puke!
The latest clashes have overshadowed six months of security gains and have probably dashed any hopes of withdrawing more U.S. forces....
And CUI BONO there, huh? Who WANTS US TO STAY?
Iraqis? Americans?
See my point, readers?
Moreover, deadlines set for political benchmarks in Iraq, such as rewriting the constitution or legislation to manage the oil industry, have been missed....
Translation: The PURPOSE for the "surge" FAILED!!!!!
Therefore, ALL THOSE AMERICAN LIVES meant SQUAT, readers!!!!
And the lying AmeriKan MSM will never say it -- because it would expose them as colossal liars -- but BUSH'S SURGE FAILED like EVERYTHING that shitter touches!!!!
But then again, those benchmarks, etc, where just shit pies cooked up for the American public.
They scarfed 'em right up, too!!!!
In Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood, where Sadr's militia holds sway, fighting to dislodge gunmen from the dusty alleyways and dilapidated buildings had left at least 41 Iraqis dead and 185 wounded since Sunday, hospital officials said. They included 16 killed Monday.
And this is success, huh? DEAD IRAQIS all over Sadr City?
WTF is the U.S. even doing there?
WE DON'T BELONG THERE!!!!
Thousands of Sadr City residents were fleeing to the relative safety of neighboring areas. A driving ban for Sadr City remained in place, leaving residents no choice but to pile bundles onto their heads or under their arms and trek past U.S. and Iraqi armored vehicles stationed on the edge of the sprawling neighborhood in east Baghdad.
Yeah, just add MORE REFUGEES and DISPLACED FOLK to the list since the invasion!
Good God, readers!!!!!
Some carried coffins and loaded them into trucks waiting outside Sadr City, which were driven to the holy city of Najaf for burial services. The area of Sadr City known as Section 8, where most residents bring the bodies of their loved ones for the traditional pre-burial washing, was so dangerous that another spot was set up elsewhere and quickly became crowded with the dead.
I'm thinking THAT is why people HATE US -- not because we are "free!"
It is because we are MURDERING THEM and THEIR FAMILIES!!!!!
Saad Mohammed was among those being buried Monday. A friend, Wisam Kadhim, said Mohammed was mortally wounded in a U.S. airstrike Sunday and had left behind a wife and two children.
U.S. creating WIDOWS and ORPHANS with their air strikes, huh?!?
Readers, I am so livid right now, but I'm not gonna swear!!
But if I did, what is more outrageous, huh?
Words on a page, or this BLOODY MASS MURDER?!!!!!!!!!
"His family couldn't make a funeral for him, so we, his friends, made a small funeral," Kadhim said. Few people showed up, he said, because they feared being caught in crossfire.
Oh, this is starting to jerk some tears from me, folks!
A U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad, Lt. Col. Steven Stover, rejected Iraqi allegations that U.S. airstrikes and gunfire have killed mainly civilians.
"There might be some civilians that are getting caught, but for the most part, we're killing the bad guys.
And NOW COMES the RAGE!!!!!!
I am SICK to DEATH of the LYING MILITARY BULLSHITTERS!!!!!
Notice how CASUALLY HE DISMISSED the CIVILIANS?!?!
Yeah, they "might" have been hit "but!"
THERE are NO BUTS ABOUT IT, you MASS-MURDERING FUCK!!!!!
Support the troops?!?
NOT THIS SHIT-HEADED GENOCIDER, nor those like him!!!!!
FUCK this OCCUPATION!!!!
"We're very precise," he said, adding that many airstrikes had been called off when it was not possible to get a "clean hit" that would avoid hitting noncombatants.
BULLSHIT!!!!!!!
The latest U.S. casualties brought to at least 4,023 the number of American forces killed in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion....
You know, after reading about the orphaned kids and the widow from our air strike, I really couldn't give two shits about mass-murdering Americans and their pain.
I'm sorry, readers, but FIVE FUCKING YEARS of LIES and MURDER has taken its toll!
Support the troops?
BRING THEM FUCKING HOME THEN, and NO MORE WARS or OCCUPATIONS!!!!!!!
If you are going to leave them there or send them to Iran then FUCK THEM!!!
Because that is SUPPORTING BUSH'S WARS, not the troops, who can't get their health care and who are falling apart and because of repeated tours supporting Bush's LIES!!!
U.S. military officials said the casualties were not so much the result of accurate firing as they were of the number of attacks being launched. "If you shoot enough rockets, eventually you will hit a valuable target, which for us is people, not structures," said a senior American military official in Baghdad.
But, but, but... Iraq is getting better!!!!!
And the PEOPLE are IMPORTANT as long as they are NOT IRAQI, huh, military monster?
This is why I rage and swear, readers, because of this ARROGANT, SELF-ADULATING BULLSHIT from the mouths of our fine, mass-murdering military!!!!
The huge Jamila wholesale market in Sadr City was in flames Monday afternoon after an apparently errant mortar strike. Police said firefighters would not drive to the area because they were afraid of being caught in fighting. Other mortar rounds fell short of their targets and landed in residential or commercial districts.
So a SHOPPING DISTRICT BURNED because of all this!!!!
Does it REALLY MATTER whose mortar it was, readers?
These people are ALREADY STARVING!!
And if it was an "errant mortar strike" it MUST HAVE BEEN AMERICAN then!!!!
Along with the others that hit "residential or commercial" districts!
"They're basically firing at a target. They don't always hit it -- I doubt they tried to hit the Jamila market, but they did," Stover said. "They're killing innocent Iraqis, but at the same time they're hitting the government and they're hitting our . . . bases."
Right, the insurgents are responsible for every death, according to the U.S. military.
Now I KNOW they are LYING!!!
They don't take responsibility for ANYTHING -- just like asshole Bush!!!
Despite the increase in violence, U.S. officials have been quick to emphasize that areas outside Baghdad's Shiite strongholds and Basra have remained relatively calm. They portray this as a promising sign that support for the Shiite militias is limited and that Sunni Arab insurgents are not using the unrest to launch fresh attacks of their own against the Shiite-led government or its American allies.
That's 'cause we are paying them off.
They also say it shows improvements in the Iraqi security forces....
The lies just never stop from the Pentagon and their shitsmen, huh, readers?
Just flows like a good case of the runs!!!
In Basra, residents stocked up on food and other essentials as tension rose.... "People are rushing to buy foodstuffs to have in storage in case any armed activities happen... " said shop owner Qassim Bijari.
A taxi driver, Hashim Hamad Basri, said he had spent the day shuttling worried shoppers to and from markets and that he had bought more than $100 in groceries....
That's what is known is Washington D.C. as "returning to normalcy."
Can you see why I can no longer stand the AmeriKan MSM, readers?
They SOLD US LIES and are continuing to SHOVEL SHIT!
I won't be watching Petraeus today, I can tell you that!
It's not healthy to have that MSM shit in your face, readers.
I'll count on the blogs to tell me what happened instead!
Update: "Iraqi Army, Mahdi Militiamen Clash"
"Eight civilians have been injured, including 3 children."
