Occupation Iraq: The Quiet Battle

Judging by the print accorded to it by the New York Times:

"Two Commanders in Basra Are Sent Back to Baghdad"

"On Wednesday night there was fighting in Basra between Iraqi security forces and gunmen, and the Americans bombed areas where the militias are active."

If you can find any more about that, let me know, will ya?


;-)

The Boston Globe wasn't much better
:

"Heads of Iraqi Army, police in Basra assigned new duties"

"
Skirmishes continued yesterday in Basra and in Sadr City, the Baghdad stronghold of Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. An unmanned US Predator aircraft fired two Hellfire missiles on suspected militia fighters in Basra, killing four, the US military said in a statement.

Two people were reported killed in Sadr City in clashes, hospital officials and police said."

Nothing like HIDING a WAR from the American people, 'eh?

Take it from a decades-long consumer of the shit War Dailies, readers, this is nothing atypical for the AmeriKan MSM -- I spent all last year screaming about it on the blog!
