Maliki said the "terrorists" were defeated?
"Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said yesterday that the government has defeated terrorism in the country. "
Sigh.
The lying, I can't... help!
"United Arab Emirates to forgive Iraqi debt; Move could boost ties with Sunnis" by Doug Smith, Los Angeles Times | July 7, 2008
BAGHDAD - Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki traveled yesterday to the United Arab Emirates, where he won a promise that Iraq's $4 billion in debt would be forgiven.
The visit was a significant step in efforts by Iraq's Shi'ite-dominated government to patch relations with Sunni Arab nations. Maliki's administration has been criticized for its close ties with Shi'ite-led Iran and accused of failing to deal firmly with Shi'ite militias at home.
Meanwhile, after two relatively quiet days, violence resumed yesterday.
In Anbar Province, a suicide car bomb struck a joint Iraqi-American checkpoint near Rawah, about 165 miles northwest of Baghdad, killing five Iraqi police and injuring 18 people, a police source said.
--MORE--"
He said helicopters took away wounded Americans.
The U.S. military said it had no report on any such incident.
A roadside bomb targeting a leader of a minor Kurdish political party killed seven people in a part of northern Diyala province that Kurds want to incorporate into their semiautonomous region. Mohammed Ramadhan Esa of the National Kurdistan Party was injured, but the explosion killed his wife, three of his children, his sister-in-law and two guards, police said. Three other people were wounded.
A car bomb went off near the entrance of Shaab neighborhood in north Baghdad, killing six people and injuring 14, including three police officers.
Nothing like HIDING a WAR to CLAIM BUSH WON Iraq, 'eh, shit MSM?
And my PAPER cut this (sigh):
In Iskandariya, about 25 miles south of Baghdad, a leader of the concerned citizens group, the U.S.-funded neighborhood security force, was killed in a bombing.
An area north of Sadr City was sealed off Sunday after gunfire erupted Saturday night. Witnesses said a joint U.S.-Iraqi force conducting an operation in the area, once a stronghold of anti-U.S. cleric Muqtada Sadr, exchanged fire with several gunmen.
The U.S. military said an American soldier died Saturday of noncombat injuries. The cause of death was being investigated. At least 4,114 U.S. service members have died since the war began in 2003.
--MORE--"
Sigh.
Yeah, the AmeriKan MSM and the Boston Globe are telling the truth about Iraq and not hiding anything, yup!
