SUICIDE BOMBERS STRIKE BAGHDAD, FALLUJA AS VIOLENCE ERUPTS IN IRAQ


The right wingers---especially the Bush Administration propaganda branch FOX NEWS---continue to LIE to the American public about the state of violence in Iraq.


If anything, violence is on rise all across Iraq and especially in Baghdad and Falluja, the two cities the Bush Administration and FOX NEWS claim are a sea of tranquility.


The right wing propagandists refuse to admit that conditions in Iraq are deteriorating as each day goes by, and in so doing the right wingers are not only insulting the American public but they are doing a great disservice to the brave young men and women serving in the United States military in Iraq.


Here is just a sampling of the VIOLENCE that took place Friday and early Saturday in Baghdad, Falluja and all across Iraq.


Does this look like Iraq is a "sea of tranquility?"
