Did anyone see NBC news the British beating the crap out of some Iraqis?

Blackjacks and plastic bullets. The Iraqi's were fighting back throwing stones and physically attacking the Brits, while the British soldiers were swinging their blackjacks. Looked like Northern Ireland or Miami last year.

I think the story was some Iraqi political group had occupied a building.

Then earlier I saw film of demonstrations of Iraqis protesting the closing of that newspaper.

And aren't we going to have the highest # of soldiers killed this month since November? And that month was jacked by helicopters crashing. Plus more civilians and journalists are getting killed. And I'd hate to think of the life expectancy of an Iraqi cop.

It's not even summer and Iraq seems to be going to Hell in a mighty hurry. They're losing what little control they had left of that place IMHO.

1. They had to shut down that newspaper

They were expressing opinions that were contrary to the ruling elite. And if they don't leave willingly, we have to beat the shit out of them because that's what "those people" understand.

2. they closed down a voting area

and that started the iraqi's throwing stones. the british went to rubber bullets. then an iraqi got a gun from a soldier. they wrestled it from him. that is what i heard

3. Looked like a full blown brawl on the news footage

Hey if Kerry gets in, can we shut down Faux, the Moonie Times, Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, Coulter, etc.?
