"Peaceful Protests Mix With Armed Attacks in Sadr City"
"The face-off between the radical Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr and the Iraqi government unfolded Sunday on the streets of Sadr City where a peaceful demonstration against continued violence there was held by members of the Iraqi Parliament even as clashes went on a few blocks away.
A few hours later, as a huge dust storm enveloped the capital, turning the sky a musky yellow, insurgents in Sadr City used the cover that stops American helicopters from flying to fire a volley of at least eight mortars at the Green Zone, the home of the American Embassy and many Iraqi government officials....
Members of Parliament from across the political spectrum — with the exception of the Shiite parties that are part of the government — appeared to be trying to transcend the fight for power and focus on the terrible conditions for residents of Sadr City, a sprawling Shiite slum in the capital, where fighting has gone on for more than a month. “What is different about this delegation is that it is composed of all kinds of Iraqis,” said Azzad Barbani, a Parliament member from the Kurdistan Democratic Party, one of 40 members who participated in the protest Sunday....
Sort of puts the lie to the "sectarian" propaganda, doesn't it?

“We want to solve the problem peacefully,” said Dr. Mustafa al-Heeti, a Sunni member of Parliament from Anbar province who led the delegation on Sunday.
The residents of Sadr City “are Iraqis,” he said. “They are very poor people with very few services, and the military action has caused so much loss of life.”
Dr. Heeti said that the goal of the protest was to demand an end to the fighting and the withdrawal of military forces....
Mr. Sadr’s officials, however, lost no time in reaching out to beleaguered residents. Hazim al-Arraji, a member of Parliament from Mr. Sadr’s bloc announced that Mr. Sadr’s office would compensate families that had lost a close relative and would also make payments to those who were injured.
While he did not say the amount that each family would get, a reporter attending a funeral in Sadr City said the family had received a half-million Iraqi dinars, or about $450, from an official of Mr. Sadr’s office. The money is supposed to help poor families pay for the funeral services, which include a three-day period of mourning when relatives and friends come to the home of the bereaved and must be offered food and drink."
Readers, they don't sound like barbarians at all!
These are the kinds of things that make my chest ache over the Zionist AmeriKan media.
They tell SUCH LIES about "enemies!"
Also notice the Times is hiding U.S. air strikes, readers?
Update:
Times neglected this article in their Monday newspaper edition, according to the web site.
They are something else, aren't they, readers?
Terrible "paper," readers, and THEY DESERVE my SCORN!
