"Iraq Seems Calmer After Cleric Halts Fighting"
Yeah, MAKE IT GO AWAY AGAIN, fucking New York Times!
Pffft!
Fuck you shit-shovelers!!!!
".... The streets remained extremely tense on Monday in both Basra and Baghdad.
As a dark Toyota sedan approached an Iraqi Army checkpoint on Monday afternoon just outside Sadr City, the huge Baghdad slum that is Mr. Sadr’s power base, a soldier in fatigues and a mask that covered most of his face pointed his weapon and shouted, “Get out of the car!”
The occupants, including a reporter for The New York Times, quickly complied. It turned out that the soldier suspected them of being members of the Mahdi Army, which tends to prefer black Toyotas.
“The Americans will shoot this kind of car, especially if it’s full of men,” said the soldier, referring to the American military, after checking identification cards and waving the car through.
CHECKPOINT KILLINGS!
Another UNDERREPORTED ASPECT of this GOD-AWFUL OCCUPATION!
And this is only in the Jew York Times because the reporter got CAUGHT UP IN ONE!!
Yup, Jew media always makes sure we know about "enemy" checkpoints, though!!!
Rockets and mortar shells again fell on the fortified Green Zone....
Within impoverished Sadr City itself, the markets were full. Even as sporadic gunfire could be heard in the distance, people took care of chores that had been suspended during the curfew: a woman in a black abaya, a head-to-toe overgarment, carried cardboard and wood on her head, presumably fuel for a fire; a man hosed off the crumbling sidewalk in front of his shop; two friends chatted at a dingy tire shop.
Yeah, thanks to the Mahdis kicking Maliki's ass!!!!
Levels of violence elsewhere in the country also appeared to be down, at least for a day....
One wonders if these liars who have lied about Iraq the whole way along would tell us even if violence was up.
They have lied so often I no longer believe anything they say!!!
Of course, they never mean AMERIKAN VIOLENCE!!!!
.... And as his government’s forces took up abandoned positions in Basra after failing to take them by force, Mr. Maliki gave a speech saying he had obtained evidence that the violence in Basra was a result of the interference of neighboring countries.
“We will try to check this evidence and announce it to the public,” Mr. Maliki said....
Oooooooh, how much you wanna bet the AmeriKan masters make this puppet say it was IRAN?!?!
How much you wanna bet it will be THIS WEEK?!
After all, the DAY is April 5!!!!!
Readers, this is sad!
This PROPAGANDA is SO DAMN TRANSPARENT as to be ridiculous -- if INNOCENT PEOPLE WERE NOT BEING THREATENED and KILLED!!!!
"If Iran were arming insurgents, the insurgents would have two weapons that would neutralize the US advantage in the Iraqi conflict: missiles to knock down US helicopter gunships and rocket-propelled grenades that knock out American tanks. The insurgents do not have these weapons."
Maj. Gen. Abdul-Aziz Arrawi, commander of operations for the Ministry of Defense, said over and over again that the Basra operations would continue..."
And yet here is the New York Times telling me everything "seems calmer."
Yeah, when you shovel SHIT REPORTING LIKE THIS it is!!!
Were any Iraqis killed yesterday, Times?
No U.S. AIR STRIKES yesterday?
Would you TELL US if there was?
Would you EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT?
