Occupation Iraq: The Forgotten War

What, with all the attention on Afghanistan and possible invasions of both Iran and Pakistan.

"Kurdish politician fatally shot by police; Death highlights ethnic tension in disputed region" by Vanessa Gera, Associated Press | September 28, 2008

BAGHDAD - Iraqi police fatally shot a Kurdish politician in one of Iraq's most volatile provinces yesterday, a killing that underlines the growing tensions between Kurds and Arabs in parts of the north.

Also yesterday, the US military arrested five suspected Iranian-backed Shi'ite extremists accused in recent rocket attacks on Iraqi and American forces.

Rocket attacks? WTF? That's the first I've heard of those all week!!!!

The military said it captured the five suspects in three separate locations in a largely Shi'ite neighborhood in eastern Baghdad, acting on intelligence information.

Translation: That's ARMY DISINFO and WAR PROPAGANDA!

The US military also said a soldier died southeast of Baghdad when his vehicle rolled over. --more--"

Was it a roadside bomb, and would the obfuscating press tell you?
