Good grief! Iraq has descended into utter chaos! M$M will ignore it.
20 killed over the weekend by US troops that cause the Baghdad Governor to cease all cooperation with the US military and demand a panel, with no US military, be formed to investigate the incident.

40 killed at a recruitment center in the "successful city" of Tal Afar (which was just the site of the largest air assault since the war started).

More bodies found today that had been hanged.

Shiite militias demanding US cede control of Iraqi security to Iraqis (presumably themselves).



But what will the M$M report on tonight? Moussaoui's apparent confession he was to hijack a 5th plane and crash it into the White House on 9/11.


Iraq is rending itself in two as we eat and breathe.

1. As the little man says, "Every day. Every single day."
A snowball headed straight to Hell.
How much worse can it get?

2. But you know what...the MSM can ignore it all they want...
we know the truth just as the rest of the world does....

And it seems that these stories eventually find themselves into the glaring public eye!!!

I don't bother with the MSM anymore...not worth the headache..Keith Olberman is worthy of my time, Jon Stewart....worthy of my time...

5. I was cable-free for 16 mos...just recently got it when I moved but...
it was just temporary as I didn't know what my over-the-air reception was going to be like. I've considered keeping it and writing to the cable company the only reason I'm keeping it is to watch Keith Olbermann and Jon Stewart.

3. Roland99, Why Are You Ignoring
the millions of Iraqis whose heads are still attached to their bodies. You can thank GWB for that! Why do you hate 'Murka?
:sarcasm:

7. Ayup...here's an article reporting on that >>>>>>>>>
http://www.rferl.org/featuresarticle/2006/03/1623E0AA-01FA-4275-AF8F-4EA561D88E87.html

March 27, 2006 -- Baghdad provincial Governor Husayn al-Tahan said he is suspending all cooperation with U.S. forces until an independent investigation is launched into the killing of 20 Shi'a, allegedly in or near a mosque.

Speaking to reporters in Baghdad, al-Tahan said, "Today we decided to stop all political and service cooperation with the U.S. forces until a legal committee is formed to investigate this incident."

He said the inquiry panel should include representatives from the U.S. Embassy and the Iraqi Defense Ministry, but not the U.S. military.

6. Yes, but what about the good news you're ignoring?
Somewhere in Iraq there's a school or something that has yet to be blown up or pockmarked with machine-gun fire.
