Whores sold the illegal war 8 years ago, they still sell it today http://www.uruknet.info/?p=m76018&hd=&size=1&l=e

Many observers of the war -- US observers -- have noted that it appears Iran triumphed over the US in the Iraq War because the (US installed) government is so close to the government of Iran. A few observers on the left have floated another narrative in which the US and Iran worked together to destroy Iraq. I don't have an opinion on either. They're both worthy of further exploration. But it's that latter hypothesis that the press seems eager to prove today. The Reuters article tells you "thousands" of Iraqis protested in Basra yesterday in solidarity with the people in Bahrain. It goes on and on but 'forgets' to note either that Basra is a Moqtada al-Sadr strong-hold or that Moqtada ordered his followers to protest. It is a lot, a lot, like the articles coming from the Iranian press -- for example, Press TV...In Baghdad, the protests Friday took place in "Liberation Square," named that by the protesters who have been protesting every Friday. And they did add a new demand (for Baghdad), it had to do with prison conditions and releasing detainees.

You can find all of that out in yesterday's snapshot. Reuters lied to you because Serena's a cheap, trashy whore... And, yesterday, these protesters were attacked by Iraqi security forces and beaten with batons and falsely arrested. Serena disappears that. She's a good little bag whore for the company, isn't she? And isn't it cute how the protesters being beaten by Nouri's forces doesn't make Iraq come off well. But ignoring that very real news story for the non-news of "Moqtada followers marched" pleases the US government....
