JUST ANOTHER QUIET SUNDAY IN IRAQ---NOT

WHO ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE?

Me or the lying eyes of the mainstream media who claim Iraq is a desert oasis of tranquility in the Middle East?

What you read below spells out what is REALLY happening in Iraq and not the baloney TV, especially FOX NEWS, and the rest of the press are feeding the American public.

Bill Corcoran, host of this blog devoted to telling the truth about conditions on the ground in Iraq where 160,000 brave young Americans are hunkered down caught in the middle of never-ending sectarian violence that has gone on for five years, or longer than World War II.

NassiriyahCommander of the police commandos, Lieutenant colonel Abdel Amir Jabbar, dies of injuries sustained in Friday's fighting with the Ansar Ahmad al-Yamani sect. VoI reports that several senior security officials were killed in the fighting.

I would definitely like to see clarification of this, but the nature of the group remains murky. -- C)

Near FallujahSuicide bomb attack on the estate of Sheik Aeifan al-Issawi, a leader of the Anbar Awakening Council, kills six, including four of his security guards. Issawi is unharmed.Reuters has an entirely different description of what might be the same incident: A suicide bomber killed six people in a town south of Falluja where people were celebrating the release of a man from U.S. military custody, local officials said. The bomber walked into the man's house and blew himself up. This is so different that it seems conceivable there were two suicide bombings in Falluja. Certainly the leader of the Anbar Awakening Council would not have been in U.S. custody

.BasraFighting continues between security forces and members of the Soldiers of Heaven group, but on a lower level than previously. Iraqi police source says 20 people were arrested, no police casualties.Rocket attack on Coalition base at the city's airport injures two Czech soldiers. Injuries are not serious.
