Clearly a biased report, if it can be called a report at all. This is the same kind of lying by telling half-truths that the media pulled during the Vietnam War. Oh, and there are tons of other important things being IGNORED AND UNREPORTED because time and bandwidth simply MUST be given to the likes of Paris Hilton.

Thankfully, at least one news readers seems to have gotten a belly full the stupidity:

Freedom has obviously a 'price'.Jun 29th, 2007 - 13:19:28

The trouble of the United States is, the price is paid by the wrong people.

If the US-kleptocracy wishes to rob Iraq of its resources, the Cheneys, Bushes, Kissingers a.s.o. ought to have at least the decency, to let their own offspring fight for their 'inheritance', instead of letting the worst-off in the nation get shot and killed for the imperial misadventures of said kleptocracy.

Sadly, elsewhere in the world the joy over the US-failure is quite evident, if not pronounced!

As long as a hotel-chain bimbo can occupy the nation's interest, the consensus is that 'America' deserves every bit of her misfortunes. Each people has the government it deserves.

What 'infrastructure'? LOLJun 29th, 2007 - 18:15:42

The imperial US-embassy in the Green Zone? The 14 ('not' permanent) permanent US-bases across Iraq? The billions allegedly spent in Iraq are flowing back to corporate America as transfer payments from 'the future', because ALL is borrowed money (printed or electronically generated by the Fed, if you like).

Iraq's infrastructure is worse off now, than before the coward assault on Iraq even after the 12 years of sanctions by the US/UK cabal. So where are your 'billions' spent?

Who are you trying to fool? Me thinks that there is a mass-delusion going on states-side.

It's just almost too difficult to keep reading about the deaths when they are completely senseless. It seems that everything that can possibly be said about this insane war has been said - for both sides of the fence. It's just futile!!

WHO IS KILLING WHO?Jun 30th, 2007 - 08:51:49

According to Iraqi officials, the dead included three members of one family — a father, mother and son. Several women and children, along with two policemen, were among the wounded, they said.

One of the policemen, Montadhar Kareem, said he was on night duty in the Habibiya area when the raids began.

'At about dawn, American troops came with tanks and began bombing houses in the area,' he said.

'The bombing became more intense, and I was injured by shrapnel in both my legs and in my left shoulder,' Kareem said from a gurney at Al Sadr General Hospital.

THE PROBLEM THE WESTERN COLONIAL FORCES HAVE IS THAT THEY CANNOT FIGHT THE SHIITE PHILOSOPHY ON LIFE AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT.

So in the tradition of past paganic forces they kill the civillians and terrorise the local population.

SO WHO IS THE REAL TERRORIST?
