And yet, every Sunday is it the same garbage in the Globe:
"Baghdad restaurant returns to business with hope on the menu; Revival symbolizes city's slow steps to normalcy" by Saad al-Izzi, Washington Post | June 29, 2008
Here is what is considered "normal" for Baghdad.
BAGHDAD - After two years of unemployment for Hashim, the restaurant is back in business, having reopened last year on a quiet street in a fortified part of the capital. Qadori's revival is a symbol, for some Baghdadis, of the capital's slow return to normalcy.
Outside, five police officers ran a checkpoint. At the end of the street, another policeman with a machine gun kept watch from a gray concrete tower flanked by 6-foot-high blast walls.
Slowly returning to "normal," huh?
Yeah, WHADDA SUCCESS the SURGE WAS!
A young man frisked each customer at the restaurant's entrance. Two other employees checked cars in the parking lot for bombs.
The restaurant's name is the nickname of its owner, Abdul Qadir Ahmed Hussein, a cheerful man with close-cropped gray hair, a mustache, and unshaven cheeks who inherited his savory recipes from his grandmother.
Thirty-five years ago, Hussein launched his business from a pushcart. In 1982, he opened a small restaurant in the capital's Bab al-Sheik enclave, and his reputation soon grew.
A few years later, he moved to Abu Nawas Street, a famous avenue that snakes along the Tigris.
So the guy had a THRIVING BUSINESS under Saddam Hussein, huh?
Sigh!

And just as I check the top of the page, pfffffffftttt!
Just look at this drivel:
"BAGHDAD - An Al Qaeda front organization claimed responsibility yesterday for a suicide bombing that killed more than 20 people - including three Marines - as the US military stepped up pressure on extremists in northern Iraq."
They are ALL FRONT ORGANIZATIONS!
The rest of the article was all "Al-CIA-Duh, Al-CIA-Duh" crap, and I'm not putting that sh** on my blog anymore.

Update: Is this a message to Maliki?
"Senior Iraqi government officials said Saturday that a U.S. Special Forces counterterrorism unit conducted the raid that reportedly killed a relative of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki, touching off a high-stakes diplomatic crisis between the United States and Iraq.
Iraqi officials in Karbala said the operation began at dawn Friday with U.S. aircraft delivering dozens of American troops to the rural Shiite Muslim town of Janaja, which is populated mostly by members of the Maliki tribe. Authorities said the raid apparently was aimed at capturing what the military calls a "high-value target," often a reference to the leader of a militant cell.
Raed Shakir Jowdet, the Iraqi military commander of Karbala operations, told journalists Friday that the Americans had acted on faulty intelligence. He said four U.S. military helicopters and a jet fighter soared over the area that morning. About 60 U.S. ground forces then stormed the town, "terrifying the families," Jowdet said.

Shouldn't that have been in my War Daily reports?
