NBC RICHARD ENGLE PROVIDES GRIPPING VIDEO OF 1ST I.D. "VIPER COMPANY" BATTLE IN KORENGAL, AFGHANISTAN

NBC's RICHARD ENGLE continues to be one of the best war correspondents there are among the few who cover the war in AFGHANISTAN anymore.

Most of the American news organizations don't want to spend the money to send foreign correspondents to either AFGHANISTAN or IRAQ to cover the wars.

In this gripping VIDEO, ENGLE tells how a U.S. soldier is killed and two others injured during a firefight in the Korengal valley of AFGHANISTAN.

THE REAL IRAQ WAR--FRAGILE STATE OF PEACE (GRAPHIC VIDEO WITH MUSIC BY MINDFLOW)

With just three weeks to go before Barack Obama is sworn in as the 44th President of the United States, Iraq teeters on a very fragile peace that could blowup at any minute.

This VIDEO shows what is really happening in Iraq and not what the media in the United States is telling everyone.

It is a dirty rotten shame, in our opinion, that so much attention is devoted to the Israel and Hamas battle while there are still over 130,000 young Americans deployed to Iraq.

The last time I looked there wasn't a SINGLE US soldier or Marine in Israel or the Gaza Strip.

For a better perspective of what is happening in IRAQ watch the following video:

"WE ARE THE WORLD"---US TROOPS AT WAR IN IRAQ SET TO MUSIC (ANTI WAR VIDEO)

The IRAQ WAR has gone on now longer than WORLD WAR II.

There is a fledgling IRAQI government that is being held together with duct tape, and despite all the Bush Administration ballyhoo "the surge" was NOT the military campaign it has been portrayed.

The fact is the Sunni Awakening had decided long before "the surge" was even launched to rid many of the provinces in Iraq of Al Qaeda and insurgents and the U.S. military were only used as backup and didn't really engage in any fighting as witnessed by the fact there were very few enemy casualties from "the surge."

The whole IRAQ war has been one GIANT propaganda campaign by the BUSH WHITE HOUSE and now the IRAQI government wants to dictate to the U.S. Military what they can and cannot do in IRAQ.

It is time to pullout of IRAQ and let the chips fall as they may.

If we don't, there will be more of what you will view in this VIDEO:

WHY ALL THE MEDIA COVERAGE OF ISRAEL BUT NOT IRAQI CHILDREN VICTIMS OF WAR? (WARNING: GRUESOME VIDEO OF IRAQI CHILDREN )

The media continues to focus ALL of their coverage on the ISRAEL attack on GAZA while totally overlooking what has happened to the children of IRAQ since PRESIDENT BUSH and VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY took it upon themselves to invade and occupy IRAQ all in the name of creating a democracy when everyone knows it was for oil.

In all, 300 PALESTINIANS have been killed in ISRAEL air strikes on GAZA and only TWO Israeli civilians have been killed.

Contrast that to what has happened in IRAQ where estimates range as high as ONE MILLION IRAQIS killed since 2003 when the U.S. invaded IRAQ.

The bulk of the injuries in IRAQ are to innocent IRAQI children as this VIDEO so clearly points out.

In our opinion it is a journalistic crime how the mainstream media in the UNITED STATES devotes so much attention to the ISRAEL incursion into GAZA while totally abandoning what has taken place in IRAQ since the U.S. invaded IRAQ.

The media brushes aside any coverage of the IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN wars by calling it "fatigue" on the part of the American public, but in reality it is because many news organizations have pulled their reporters out of IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN to focus on the ISRAEL and GAZA battle.

The VIDEO we are posting here is not for the squeamish and we warn you the scenes of these mutilated bodies of young IRAQI children can be very hard to take.

Nowhere on the internet, and most certainly in the mainstream media in the UNITED STATES, will you EVER see a VIDEO like this.

CNN BREAKING NEWS: AFGHAN CAR BOMB KILLS 14 CHILDREN: CONDITIONS WORSEN IN AFGHANISTAN

Conditions in Afghanistan are getting worse. A car bomb has killed 14 children and in Kabul a rocket attack has killed three teenage sisters.

Afghan car bomb kills 14 children

Story Highlights
Suicide car bomb in southeastern Afghanistan kills 16, including 14 children
Taliban says it carried out attack near voter registration site
Rocket attack in Kabul also killed three teenage sisters

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/12/28/afghan.carbomb/index.html

KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- A suicide car bomb blast near a voter registration site killed 16 people, 14 of them children, and wounded 58 in southeastern Afghanistan on Sunday morning, according to a senior police official and the U.S. military.

A Taliban spokesman said one of his group's fighters carried out the attack.

When security guards stopped the car at the entrance to the Mandozai district headquarters, the driver detonated the explosives inside the car, Khost provincial security chief Mohammad Yaqoub said.

A security guard and an Afghan National Army soldier were among the dead. There were no military casualties, said U.S. Col. Gregory Julian. Coalition and Afghan forces worked together to evacuate the wounded to military and civilian hospitals, he said.

The military released photos of the incident, saying they "provide further proof the Afghan militants are not interested in the welfare nor benefit of the Afghan people."

Dozens of tribal elders were meeting nearby in the district administrative office at the time of the bombing, the police official said. The Mandozai district is in the Khost province.

Zabiullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman speaking by phone from an undisclosed location, said the suicide bombing was carried out by Qari Hameedullah, a Taliban fighter.

Elsewhere, a rocket attack in Kabul killed three teenage sisters and injured four other people Saturday night, Afghan President Hamid Karzai's office said in a statement.

The girls died when one of two rockets fired on Kabul crashed into a house in the southern part of the city. In the statement, Karzai called those who fired the rockets "enemies of Afghanistan" who "can't achieve anything by firing rockets but the killing of innocent civilians."

COST OF WAR--COLLATERAL DAMAGE---(WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC VIDEO)

As the narrator of this video says, the images of civilians and mostly children killed during the IRAQ war is not for school or work, but instead should be viewed in private and then only by people who have the stomach for the grisly carnage on this video.

The United States invaded and occupied IRAQ over five years ago. Since then there are estimates that go as high as ONE MILLION Iraqis have been killed---many of them small children and infants.

President Bush and Vice President Cheney sold the American public a "bill of goods" that Saddam Hussein had Weapons of Mass Destruction and that he was in the process of building a nuclear bomb.

BOTH PROVED TO BE FALSE AND MISLEADING INFORMATION.

Nearly 4,300 brave young American men and women have lost their lives in Bush and Cheney's gambit to bring democracy to IRAQ.

In addition, over 30,000 young Americans have been severely injured in the IRAQ WAR and many of them will be disabled for the rest of thei lives.

The fragile IRAQ government has drawn up a pact with the United States that will call for all U.S. COMBAT troops to leave IRAQ in the next few months.

This is the first time in the history of the UNITED STATES that a foreign country has dictated to the UNITED STATES MILITARY and our government on what U.S. troops are allowed to do and who can stay and who has to go.

President-elect Barack Obama is inheriting a quagmire that could keep U.S. troops in Iraq for the next ten or 20 years.

Over the weekend, a mortar shell killed a prominent U.S. doctor from New Jersey in Mosul, and a car bomb at a bus station in Baghdad killed at least 22 and injured scores of others.

IRAQ is not the peaceful country the media tells the people of the United States.

The IRAQI people want ALL U.S. troops out of Iraq and the shoe throwing incident when an Arabic TV reporter tossed his shoes at President Bush in Baghdad two weeks ago is a clear indication how much the United States is hated in Iraq and all across the Middle East.

The shoe thrower is being hailed as a hero by the Iraqi people.

Watch this video, but we warn you the images of civilian casualties, especially the children and infants of IRAQ will tear your heart out.

THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE IN BAGHDAD: 18 DIE FROM CAR BOMB

US military: At least 18 die in Baghdad car bomb

The Associated Press
Saturday, December 27, 2008
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/12/27/news/ML-Iraq.php

BAGHDAD: The U.S. military says a bomb killed at least 18 people and wounded 25 in a busy Baghdad square.

Initial Iraqi police reports of the blast Saturday at al-Zahra square in the northern Baghdad Shiite neighborhood of Kazimiyah, said it was a mortar round. But three Iraqi police officers later said it was a parked car bomb, apparently targeting a taxi stand.

U.S. Army Capt. Charles Calios says initial military reports indicate it was a car bomb.

MORTAR ROUND KILLS PROMINENT NEW JERSEY SURGEON IN IRAQ

Well-known American surgeon killed in Iraq
Mortar round explodes near his living quarters on Christmas Day

The Associated Press
updated 11:07 p.m. CT, Fri., Dec. 26, 2008
URL: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28395779/

TRENTON, N.J. - A prominent New Jersey doctor has been killed in Iraq, the Defense Department said Friday.

Maj. John P. Pryor was a well-known trauma surgeon at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. According to the Pentagon, Pryor died Christmas Day when a mortar round hit near his living quarters.

Pryor's colleagues say they're devastated by the loss of the New York City native. Pryor, who was 42, was a married father of three.

He wrote of his experiences as a surgeon confronting violence in Iraq and inner-city Philadelphia in articles published in The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Washington Post.

SO THIS IS WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR--NO WONDER IRAQIS AND AFGHANS HATE AMERICANS (GORY VIDEO)

You don't EVER read about it in the newspapers or hear about it on TV, but the civilian population of both IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN hate AMERICA and especially the UNITED STATES MILITARY.

The reason can be easily seen in this video of nothing but carnage the U.S. has brought to both IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN.

The bodies of dead infants and civilians are all throughout this VIDEO and the legendary Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong sings "What a Wonderful Day" as a way of mocking the "wonderful day" for these poor and innocent victims of BUSH and CHENEY's wars in IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN.

CHILDREN OF CONFLICT--AFGHAN CHILDREN TELL THEIR SIDE OF THE WAR (TEAR-JERKING VIDEOS)

Children of Conflict looks at the misery, poverty and never ending internal conflict that is the lot of Afghan children.

Seven years ago, President Bush and Vice President Cheney along with other warmongers in Washington, D.C. launched an invasion and occupation of Afghanistan.

The whole purpose of the war with Afghanistan was to find Osama bin Laden, but SEVEN years later bin Laden has not been captured or killed, but the living conditions for the Afghanistan children worsens every single day.

Bush and Cheney will soon be leaving Washington and in their place will be Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

Obama has pledged to send more troops to Afghanistan, and Defense Secretary Robert Gates is planning on sending 30,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan by the summer of 2009.

As the video explains, the Russians tried to defeat the Afghans and after 10 years had to give up in total humiliation.

President-elect Barack Obama should think long and hard before committing more U.S. troops to Afghanistan which will only bring about more misery and suffering for innocent Afghan children.

Democracy is fleeting in Afghanistan and only the capitol city of Kabul has a shaky democracy. The rest of Afghanistan teeters on the brink of starvation and collapse.

The United States military will eventually have to pullout of Afghanistan and when they do the Taliban and Al Qaeda will again take control of the country.

It is a given.

VIDEO MESSAGE FOR PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA: WHY SHOULD THESE AFGHAN CHILDREN SUFFER ANYMORE?

President-elect Barack Obama has pledged to send in another 30,000 troops into Afghanistan by this summer. Why? What possible reason could there be to create the kind of suffering for Afghanistan children as seen in this video?

Seven years ago President Bush and Vice President Cheney decided to invade Afghanistan so we could find Usama bin Laden. We still haven't found him, and chances are we will NEVER find him.

So why are American forces STILL in Afghanistan?

The Russians and the Brits couldn't defeat the Afghanistan people and finally had to leave with their tails between their legs.

What makes anyone think the United States military is going to do any better than the Russians and the Brits?

President-elect Obama should take a long look at Afghanistan and decide he doesn't want his legacy to be what you will see on this video.

The children of Afghanistan deserve better than an occupying force that has lost all reason to be in Afghanistan.

EXPLOSIVE WAR FOOTAGE OF THE REAL WAR IN IRAQ (MUST VIEW VIDEO)

After watching this VIDEO, I wonder how anyone could "condemn" our troops in IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN, but unfortunately there are some people who live in some "dream world" and think the "brave young men and women" in the U.S. military in IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN should just drop their weapons and walk away from the conflicts in a mass protest.

These people are few and far between, but this blogger has recently been taking "hits" from individuals who detest the "brave young men and women" in the military.

They are people who never served a day in the military service of the United States of America and they live in a superficial world where they think the United States is an "aggressor" nation and anyone who enlists in the military should be "condemned."

As it says in this video, they are people who are sitting behind their computers sipping coffee and making ridiculous statements about our troops deployed to IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN.

In short, they are pie-in-the-sky individuals who have never and will never have to face what these "brave young men and women" see in this VIDEO on a daily basis.

GOD HELP THEM, AND GOD BLESS THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY.

SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR VETERANS (MUST READ FOR ALL VETERANS)

The BUSH ADMINISTRATION has been woefully negligent in providing veterans with the information they need to adjust to civilian life.

However, the VETERANS FOR AMERICA has published a "survival booklet" for veterans which can be downloaded here: veteransforamerica.org.

Read more about it below:


Editorial---THE NEW YORK TIMES

Survival Guide for Veterans

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/19/opinion/19fri2.html?_r=2&ref=todayspaper

Far too often, military veterans find themselves desperately short of the information they need as they make the torturous quest for benefits within one of this country’s most daunting bureaucracies, the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Officials say help is on the way, but administrators are forever promising to streamline procedures for an era of conquered paperwork that never seems to come. That is why it is heartening to see that one promising form of help has indeed arrived: a 599-page guide to veterans’ issues, from educational help to vocational rehabilitation, from housing to citizenship.

It’s called “The American Veterans’ and Servicemembers’ Survival Guide,” and it comes, unsurprisingly, from outside the system. It is a publication of the nonprofit advocacy group Veterans for America, available as a free download at veteransforamerica.org.

This electronic book is a descendant of “The Viet Vet Survival Guide,” which was published a decade after the end of that conflict — when veterans were still being routinely and shamefully denied their rights. The new book was written by veterans and lawyers for a new generation of soldiers with old problems, like post-traumatic stress, and new ones like traumatic brain injury, the brutal legacy of Iraq’s and Afghanistan’s roadside bombs.

The authors caution that while the guide will help a veteran understand what’s going on, it is not a substitute for a good lawyer or other advocate. And it isn’t the only source of information: The government, too, has vast Web sites explaining things — for example, how officers help veterans through the disability evaluation system. (In military acronyms, it’s how the Physical Evaluation Board Liaison Officer, or Peblo, helps with the D.E.S.)

The “Survival Guide” does this, too, but with a difference: It also warns veterans to “pay careful attention to what you say to your Peblo,” because the Peblo is not required to act in their best interests the way an attorney is, and things told to a Peblo are not necessarily confidential.
No book will ever defeat a bureaucracy this large, but a book can help people to subdue it.

Veterans and their families often praise the dedication of health-care providers, but at the same time express utter frustration over incomprehensible thickets of rules and the glacial pace at which benefits and appeals are decided.

Unless and until the government significantly improves its treatment of veterans — and our hopes are high for progress under Gen. Eric Shinseki, President-elect Barack Obama’s nominee to run Veterans Affairs — they will have to keep looking to one another for help, as they always have. This veterans’ guide looks like a powerful updating of that old tradition.

U.S. TROOPS OPEN FIRE ON STUDENTS AT FALLUJAH "SHOE RALLY"

The media in the United States has totally misconstrued the "shoe tossing" incident against President George W. Bush the other day in Baghdad.

The media in the U.S., especially the White House "mouthpiece" FOX NEWS, claimed the Iraqi reporter would be killed if the incident had happened when Saddam Hussein was in power.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The Iraqi reporter would be hailed as a hero if Saddam Hussein were still in power.

Now comes word, U.S. troops have opened fire on students attending a "shoe rally" in Fallujah.

US Troops Open Fire On Fallujah Students at Shoe Rally

Separate Incident Reported at Baghdad Bridge as Public Increasingly Shows Unrest

Posted December 17, 2008

http://news.antiwar.com/2008/12/17/us-troops-clash-with-fallujah-students-at-shoe-rally/

Besides making an international celebrity out of Iraqi reporter Muntadar al-Zeidi, the now infamous shoe-throwing incident is cropping up in surprising ways across Iraq, where a population beaten and exhausted from years of war is once again finding its voice against the US military presence and the Iraqi government seen as its enablers.

The city of Fallujah was one of the hardest hit in all of Iraq, nearly
destroyed earlier in the war. When students at the city’s university held an impromptu rally in support of the jailed Zeidi, US soldiers were quick on the scene.

The students raised shoes and some of them threw rocks, prompting the troops to open fire in an attempt to disperse the crowd. One student was wounded, shot in the foot according to his doctor.

Reporter Mohammed al-Dulaimy tells another story at the July 14 Bridge in Baghdad. The bridge is closed to the public several times a day while official convoys pass through… just another reality in the war-torn city. But today when Iraqi soldiers arrived and attempted to close the bridge, angry drivers refused.

They continued on their way, honking angrily when the soldiers got in their way.

Predictably, the soldiers drew their rifles and began firing. Surprisingly, traffic continued through the square and across the bridge.

While President Bush, Vice President Cheney and former Ass't Sec. of Defense Gaffney are all over TV trying to soft soap the American public on why it was necessary to invade and occupy Iraq, this VIDEO shows what took place at a real M*A*S*H field hospital in Iraq.

Bush, Cheney and Gaffney haven't got a clue what they did and most of all they don't care.

I doubt if Bush, Cheney or Gaffney EVER looked at a VIDEO like this.

Saddam Hussein had about as much capability of striking the United States as a Boy Scout Troop does of leading a revolt to takeover the country.

Only FOX NEWS buys the garbage Bush, Cheney and Gaffney are peddling on TV lately.

This VIDEO can be tough to take at times, but the war started by Bush, Cheney, Gaffney and rest of the evil cabal in the Bush White House is not for the "suits" back in the United States.

It is for the brave young men and women who serve in Iraq and Afghanistan and the medics who are there to try to save their lives when they are wounded.

THE BUSH IRAQ LEGACY: IRAQI HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN SHAMBLES

Before the United States invaded and occupied Iraq, the Iraqi medical system was considered one of the finest in the world.

Today it is in shambles and it is all because of President George W. Bush and his misguided notion that we had to invade and occupy Iraq.

The following story by foreign correspondent DAHR JAMAIL examines the Iraqi medical system and what is taking place in one Iraqi city.

Looking After Pockets, Not Patients

by Ahmed Ali and Dahr JamailDecember 15th, 2008 Inter Press Service

BAQUBA — A nurse at Baquba General Hospital asked Ahmed Ali, who co-authored this report, for a bribe to look after his sick baby.

It was hardly an exceptional demand. Patients around Iraq have begun commonly to speak of the need to bribe medical staff to get some form of care.“Nurses in Iraqi hospitals are no angels of mercy,” Falah Najim, who was a patient at the main hospital in Baquba told IPS. “They look after their pockets, not the patient.

”The practice of bribing medical staff has been around since at least the 1990s, during the difficult days of the sanctions imposed on Iraq after the first Gulf War. After the U.S. invasion of 2003, this seems to have become worse, like so much else in Iraq.

“The profession of medicine has changed from a profession of mercy to just money making,” Abdullah Najeeb, a trader in Baquba city, about 40km north-east of Baghdad, told IPS.Staff shortage has clearly made the problem worse. More than half of about 36,000 medical workers who were in the country at the time the U.S. invasion, including doctors, nurses and other staff, have fled the country.

“It is very hard to see a doctor in a hospital or in a clinic,” hospital employee Sabay Ismail told IPS.Stories of suffering in hospitals have become commonplace.“I spent a night in the public hospital without air-conditioning,” the mother of a baby, who did not wish to give her name, told IPS. “My baby kept sweating all night in the heat. The resident doctor came to see the child only once.

I took my baby away; we did not complete the treatment. Then I could not find good medical treatment even in the private hospitals. The baby died because of their negligence.”“There are two public hospitals in Baquba; one for children and the other is general,” an official in the Diyala directorate-general of health told IPS, requesting anonymity. In both, he said, “we continue to suffer from a shortage of doctors.”“Twenty pregnant women might have only one doctor to help them deliver the child within a space of one or two hours,” the husband of a pregnant woman due to deliver told IPS.

“Hundreds of people who go to hospital may find an employee or nurse, but no doctor.”The few doctors who remain are mostly resident doctors or young graduates. Most specialists and senior doctors have long since fled.The ones who remain make do with ill-equipped hospitals.

“The government specifies big funds and projects for renovation and equipment for the hospitals,” an official in the provincial health office told IPS. “But deals are made between the contractors and the politicians.”Former deputy minister for health Dr Amer Al-Khuzaie had told IPS in 2005 that his ministry was allocated a billion dollars of the 18.6 billion dollars set aside by the U.S. government for rebuilding Iraq.But the Ministry of Health does not have control over the funds, Al-Khuzaie said. Instead USAID, the U.S. government body responsible for allocating reconstruction funds, handed out contracts to foreign corporations.

The corporations spent the funds as they saw fit.Now, the problem is more of corruption. In late 2007, the Ministry of Health was taken over by Shia politicians aligned with cleric Mutada Al-Sadr. There is almost nothing of the budget to show in Iraq’s hospitals. “They only paint the walls,” says Baquba resident Bahira Aboud.Private hospitals have their own handicaps. “Two months ago my six-year-old daughter went for tonsils surgery,” said resident Abul-Amir Mahood.

“After they gave her anaesthetic, the electricity shut down. They had no generator. I waited for my daughter to regain consciousness, then just took her back home.”The health ministry has reported a recent outbreak of cholera. This has scared residents in Baquba because the local hospitals are not equipped to deal with it.In Baquba, as in many other cities, most of the established clinics are closed. Some doctors see patients in their houses, that have been turned into impromptu, ill-equipped, clinics.A large number of such ‘clinics’ have come up, where doctors charge patients ten to 20 dollars for a consultation. Where the average monthly salary — for those lucky enough to have a job — is around 180 dollars, this is a heavy fee.And not for the best treatment.

“There are doctors who see more than 100 patients a day,” said resident Fatima Edan. “Their diagnosis is badly affected by the speed with which they go through patients. The quicker the better, they are greedy for more money.”

BUSH DUCKS AS IRAQI REPORTER THROWS HIS SHOES AT HIM

BAGHDAD – His legacy forever linked to an unpopular war, President George W. Bush visited Iraq under intense security Sunday and declared that a long, hard conflict is necessary to protect the United States and give Iraqis hope. "The war is not over," he said.

Source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081214/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush

Bush got a size-10 reminder of the fervent opposition to his policies when a man threw two shoes at him — one after another — during a news conference with Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. "This is the end!" shouted the man, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.

Bush ducked both throws. Neither leader was hit. In Iraqi culture, throwing shoes at someone is a sign of contempt; Iraqis whacked a statue of Saddam Hussein with their shoes after U.S. marines toppled it to the ground in 2003.

"All I can report," Bush joked of the incident, "is a size 10."

The U.S. president visited the Iraqi capital just 37 days before he hands the war off to President-elect Barack Obama, who has pledged to end it. The president wanted to highlight a drop in violence in a nation still riven by ethnic strife and to celebrate a recent U.S.-Iraq security agreement, which calls for U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq by the end of 2011.

"There is still more work to be done," Bush said after his meeting with al-Maliki, adding that the agreement puts Iraq on solid footing. "The war is not over."

In many ways, the unannounced trip was a victory lap without a clear victory. Nearly 150,000 U.S. troops remain in Iraq fighting a war that is intensely disliked across the globe. More than 4,209 members of the U.S. military have died in the conflict, which has cost U.S. taxpayers $576 billion since it began five years and nine months ago.

Polls show most Americans believe the U.S. erred in invading Iraq in 2003. Bush ordered the nation into war against Saddam Hussein's Iraq while citing intelligence claiming the Mideast nation harbored weapons of mass destruction. The weapons were never found, the intelligence was discredited, Bush's credibility with U.S. voters plummeted and Saddam was captured and executed.

THE IRAQI VIEW OF "THE SURGE:" A VIDEO YOU MUST SEE

The Real News Network has done a two-part series on the truth about "the surge" in Iraq. Leila Fadel, Baghdad bureau chief for the McClatchy Newspapers, in this video tells what really happened in Iraq.

Fadel, who is an award-winning journalist, explains how "the awakening" by Iraqi tribal leaders happened long before "the surge" was initiated by General David Petraeus.

According to Fadel, the US military's role was only to build walls and provide some security after the Iraqi people drove out the insurgents.

It was the Iraqi tribal leaders and the Iraqi people who put an end to most of the violence in Iraq and the not the efforts of the U.S. military and the so-called "surge."

NEWS ALERT: SUICIDE BOMBER KILLS 25 IN KIRKUK, IRAQ

There will most likely be little coverage in the mainstream press in the U.S. about this suicide bombing, but it underscores how the war in IRAQ is far from over.

Iraqi police say suicide bomber attacks restaurant outside Kirkuk, kills at least 25

Associated Press
December 11, 2008

http://www.startribune.com/world/35865844.html?elr=KArks:DCiUBcy7hUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUU

BAGHDAD - Police say a suicide bomber has struck inside a restaurant near Kirkuk, killing at least 25 people and wounding dozens more.

Brig. Gen. Sarhad Qadir, commander of the Kirkuk police, also says about 45 people are wounded.

The explosion occurred Thursday at a restaurant about 2 miles north of Kirkuk, the center of Iraq's northern oil fields.

The reason for the attack was unclear but the city has been the scene of long-standing ethnic tension.

The Kurds want to annex Kirkuk and surrounding Tamim province into their self-ruled region in northern Iraq. Most Turkomen and Arabs want the province to remain under central government control, fearing the Kurds would discriminate against them.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

BAGHDAD (AP) — U.S. troops launched raids in at least four Iraqi cities, detaining six people believed associated with al-Qaida in Iraq, the U.S. military said Thursday.

A U.S. statement says two men were detained Wednesday in a pair of raids near Tarmiyah, 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Baghdad.

Two others were captured Thursday in Ramadi, capital of Anbar province west of Baghdad, the statement said. The two others were arrested Thursday — one in Mosul and the other in Baghdad, the U.S. said.

U.S. troops have broad authority under a U.N. mandate to apprehend people deemed a security threat and hold them indefinitely without charge.

However, the mandate expires at the end of this month and will be replaced by a U.S.-Iraqi security agreement that requires the U.S. to obtain warrants to search houses or detain people except in active combat.

The new regulations will be part of a series of major changes in the five-year U.S.-led mission.
Britain announced Wednesday it will withdraw all but a handful of its 4,000 soldiers from Iraq next year. The U.S. is expected to shift a brigade to Basra in southern Iraq, where most of the British forces are located, to ensure the security of supply lines into the country from Kuwait.

U.S. President-elect Barack Obama has called for withdrawing all U.S. combat troops from Iraq by early 2010, shifting responsibility to the Iraqis for the defense of the country against Sunni and Shiite extremists.

THE IRAQ WAR IS FAR FROM OVER: 10 KILLED IN 2 SUICIDE BOMBINGS

You don't hear much about the Iraq War anymore, and when you do it is some commentator or pundit who hasn't got a clue what is going on in Iraq saying the Iraq War is over or violence is way, way down.

Nothing could be further from the truth, but this is the only war the mainstream media no longer covers even though there are still 140,000 American troops in Iraq.

Here is what happened Thursday, December 4 in Fallujah, Iraq which was supposed to the model for peace and serenity.


Last Modified: 04 Dec 2008Source: PA News

Iraqi officials say two suicide car bombers targeted two police stations in the former insurgent stronghold of Fallujah, killing at least 10 people and wounding many more.

A senior police officer in Fallujah said one of the stations had been destroyed in the blast.

He said the explosives were on trucks that were detonated near the concrete barriers surrounding the police stations.

FOX NEWS' STM

FOX NEWS is out to bring up everything either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton said about each other during the primary, but NOT ONCE have they brought up how George H.W. Bush called Ronald Reagan's domestic plan "voodoo economics" during their primary battle in 1980.

FOX NEWS suffers from short-term memory syndrome.

As we all know, Reagan won the election and then appointed George H.W. Bush as his Vice President.

The point is many things are said in a primary, but quickly forgotten after someone is selected as the Presidential choice for President of their party.

But poor little wimp Sean Hannity and his ass-kissing regular FOX NEWS guest, Dick Morris, former Clinton adviser, keep bringing up everything that Clinton or Obama ever said about each other, but NEVER, NEVER, NEVER mention what someone like George H.W. Bush said about Ronald Reagan's economic plan.

Where is the "fair and balanced" reporting at FOX NEWS?

WASHINGTON POST: BOMB ATTACK IN BAGHDAD KILLS 27, WOUNDS DOZENS

The mainstream press keeps trying to say the war in Iraq is over. That is far from the truth. In fact, there have been a steady uptick in violence across Iraq in the past few days. Here is the latest:

Bomb Attacks Kill at Least 27, Wound Dozens in IraqU.S. Military Patrol In Mosul Among

By Sudarsan Raghavan and Zaid SabahWashington Post Foreign ServiceTuesday, December 2, 2008; A17

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/01/AR2008120100557.html

BAGHDAD, Dec. 1 -- Bombing attacks targeting Iraqi security forces in Baghdad and a U.S. patrol in the northern city of Mosul left at least 27 people dead and dozens more injured, Iraqi officials said, making Monday one of the deadliest days in recent weeks in Iraq.

The attacks highlighted the fragility of Iraq's security situation as the country prepares for provincial elections early next year. The United Nations mission in Iraq warned Sunday that violence could rise in the run-up to the voting.

In eastern Baghdad, a suicide bomber detonated his explosives belt at the back gate of a police academy about 1 p.m. Two minutes later, another bomber exploded a booby-trapped car at the main entrance of a nearby government building, said Maj. Gen. Qassim Atta, the top spokesman for Iraqi military operations in Baghdad.

In a statement, the U.S. military said 15 policemen were killed and 35 policemen and civilians were injured in the attack. Iraqi authorities said the blasts killed 11 people and injured 34.

When the blast occurred, students were leaving the academy after classes, said Lt. Ahmad Kadhim, a member of the SWAT team assigned to guard the academy. He said his men had left their posts to receive their salaries.

(CNN) -- A suicide bomber on a bicycle detonated explosives Sunday near a car from the German Embassy in Kabul, a local police official said.

Two people were killed and three were injured, said Ali Shah Paktiawal, the police chief in charge of investigations for the city of Kabul.

The German embassy car was slightly damaged, but the occupants were not hurt.
It is not clear if the German ambassador was in the car. Watch more about the attack »

The attack took place shortly after U.S. and Afghan forces announced they had killed 17 people they called "armed militants" in Afghanistan, and detained another 10.

One person was killed and 10 seized in one incident in Zadran district, south of Kabul, while 16 were killed in a second encounter in Sorobi district, east of the capital.

The Zadran operation Saturday targeted a militant associated with the radical Haqqani network who assisted foreign fighters, the joint statement said.

He is thought "to coordinate and assist with the movement of Islamic Jihadist Union (IJU) and other foreign fighters into Afghanistan." He was among the 10 people detained, according to the statement.
