“Fallujah is fine, now go back to sleep.”

[5X]

This from "Dahr Jamail's Iraq Dispatches"

“I’d been in Fallujah for a week and all I’d seen was tough military tactics,” he tells me, “They are arresting people and putting them in these trucks, blindfolded and tied up. Everywhere I looked all I saw was utter devastation.”

He spoke with many families who told him one horror story after another, death after death after death.

“Then today, the military brings in a dozen Humvees and ground troops to basically seal off a small area near a market,” he continues, “In the middle of them is a CNN camera crew filming troops throwing candy to kids and these guys in orange vests start cleaning the streets around them.”

He laughs while holding up his arms and says, “I’d never seen those guys anywhere in the city before. I don’t know where they came from.”

After a pause to take a drink of soda he adds, “I’d never seen any boots on the ground at all, and all of the sudden there are all these marines standing around like everything was ok. It was the first time I’d seen any soldier not in a Humvee or a Bradley. I was really surprised.”

“All of it was 100% staged. Good PR before the election,” he says. Then in a reference to mainstream America he adds, “Fallujah is fine, now go back to sleep.”

Does anyone really think the elections will be legit?

1. in a word

no.

remember when the statue of saddam fell in baghdad? did you hear the report from Amy Goodman (the square was sealed off and about two dozen random people were brought in and told to celebrate as news cameras were strategically positioned to capture it all for us to watch for hours on MSM.)

2. beware of Iran next

Iran will be our next stop and it will be the death of us.
Russia has been selling them antiwarship missiles for which
we have no defense and their range is 180 miles, will cover
the gulf.
