“The terrorists also continue to conduct very limited indirect fire attacks against forward operating bases, joint security stations and at the International Zone in an attempt to harm innocent civilians and government officials working towards reconciliation in the country,” said Col. Allen Batschelet, chief of staff, MND-B. “We will relentlessly pursue those individuals who would seek to murder, terrorize or intimidate the people of Baghdad. Contrary to reporting, this is not a battle against Jaysh Al Mahdi – this is straight and simple a fight against those individuals breaking the law.”

We have been told only one side of the story. We are not entirely free when our media does not reveal the truth that almost 800,000 Iraqi men, women and children have been killed by our troops, weapons, factional fighting, disease, etc. Around the rest of the world it is already known. What kind of country do we really live in? This war was an illegal and unjustified war from the start based on lies and personal vendettas! Do we have to worry about more chickens coming home to roost, as Reverend Wright clearly points out? The resentment towards our Evil Middle East Policy and Administration is spreading around the globe. Time for Obama to put out Middle East Policies straight before we alienate the entire world. Time for healing!! Adios Bush! Hello Obama!!
[Editor: Was it a lie that Saddam invaded Kuwait? Was it a lie that he was defeated by a coalition of nations? Was it a lie that he signed a ceasefire that contained conditions he had to adhere to? Was it a lie that for more than a dozen years he violated those conditions? Was it a lie that in 1998 the Congress passed a law requiring the United States to support regime change in Iraq? Was it a lie that both UN and American weapons inspectors found many, many violations of the ceasefire agreement?
Under international law, violation of a ceasefire is causa belli for resumption of the original war.]
