"Iraqi electricity and military officials blame Iran in large part for the electricity shortages, saying Tehran has cut supplies coming across the border"
Are you effin' shittin' me?!
WTF is Iran doing SUPPLYING POWER to Iraq, and HOW COME WE NEVER HEAR ABOUT IT?
Oh, readers, I am TIRED of the BULLSHIT PROPAGANDA!!!!!!!!!
"Freed of militias, Basra faces new problems" by Kim Gamel, Associated Press | June 25, 2008
BASRA, Iraq - Men and women can openly study and party together for the first time in years at Basra University, free from the threat of Shi'ite gunmen enforcing extreme Islamic views.
That is what LIBERATION is -- the right to get drunk!
And about those "gunmen" and their views:
Occupation Iraq: Israeli-Trained Death Squads
To get to class, however, the students must navigate traffic jams and ubiquitous checkpoints that the Iraqi military calls the price of peace in this sweltering, oil-rich southern city where temperatures soar above 120 degrees.
It often doesn't get any cooler indoors. Basra is suffering widespread electricity shortages that residents blame on Iraqi authorities, who in turn point the finger at neighboring Iran. And then there's the lack of clean tap water.
Frustration is rising over the failure of the Iraqi government to follow through on its promises to improve basic services, provide jobs, and distribute enough food to citizens.
"The services are getting worse, they're not getting better. This is creating ill will toward the government," said Mustafa Mahdi Hussein, the dean of Basra University's college of administration and economics.
"We need to give them work to do. You can't just keep expanding the military operations. If you talk to anybody, they just want three things, electricity, water, and safety," he added during a recent interview in his office.
Such complaints are common throughout Iraq but have particular resonance in Basra and other areas where security forces have gained control from armed groups. The fear is that without a speedy increase in public services and quality of life, the public will lose confidence in the government, opening the door for the extremists to return.
Why would the people lose confidence in the government if the "extremists" are so horrible, readers?
Wouldn't you just stick with them?
It is at this point that I'm so tired of this shit, I don't even want to do this anymore.
So sick of the LYING FUCKING PROPAGANDA from the AmeriKan shit press!!!!!!!!!
Basra province holds most of the country's proven oil reserves and is the main export hub. But the city's garbage-strewn streets belie the riches underground nearby.
Yeah, ALL ABOUT what is UNDER the streets -- and it ALWAYS HAS BEEN, folks!
Iraqi electricity and military officials blame Iran in large part for the electricity shortages, saying Tehran has cut supplies coming across the border by more than half since the military operation was launched on March 25. The Iranian border lies 10 miles east of Basra.
Gee-zus!
Our IRAQ FLUNKIES sound EXACTLY LIKE ZIONISTS!!!!
Yeah, this is the IRANIANS FAULT!!!
UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE!!!!!!!
A senior electricity official in Basra, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of relations with Iran, said the local directorate has been forced to reduce public supplies from nearly 24 hours a day to as little as six hours per day.
Yup, but IRAQ is GETTING BETTER!!!
Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!
The official said Iran claimed the reduction was a result of technical problems.
But Brigadier General Sabah Fadhil Motor, the commander of the Iraqi army's US-trained 26th Brigade, 7th Division, echoed other Iraqi officials in accusing Iran of cutting off power in retaliation for the crackdown on Iranian-backed militias.
Well, WHY WOULDN'T THEY?!
And before you get up on your high horse, asshole AmeriKans, just remember WE WITHHOLD SHIT ALL the TIME!!!
See: US issues threat to Iraq's $50bn foreign reserves in military deal
And those are just two examples!
We do it to EVERYBODY -- except ISRAEL!!!!
Tehran has consistently denied supporting violence in Iraq, and the Iranian Energy Ministry did not have any immediate comment on the electricity issue.
Just shows you how much better Iranians are than us!
Here they are HELPING US by SUPPLYING POWER to Iraq, and all they get is CRITICISM!!!
They are better than me, because if I ruled Iran I would tell the U.S. to FUCK OFF!!!
Of course, only the Iraqis would be hurt!
And readers, if there was military action in a region, would you want to be sending tanker-trucks filled with oil through the region?
Aren't we seeing how that is working out in Afghanistan (see today's post).
Basra residents, however, place the blame with the central government in Baghdad, which many feel has neglected the city's crumbling infrastructure.
Still, markets are bustling with people cautiously emerging from a culture of fear, and the city's roads are now jammed."
Are they FUCKING KIDDING?
C'mon! I mean, GOOD GOD, readers?!
What SHIT JOURNALISM AmeriKa gets!!!
What SHIT!!!!!!!!
Oh, and that culture of fear?
