In fact, they are getting worse by the day. It is as if they know they are going down the tubes, so why not sell-out and tell the most outrageous lies imaginable.
"Tension rises with Iraq's elections pending; Security is key as people head for polls today" by Tina Susman, Los Angeles Times | January 31, 2009
BAGHDAD - .... Brigadier General Daniel B. Allyn, one of the top commanders of US forces in Iraq, speaking of the election as a measure of Iraq's future stability:
"Iraq is on a journey. It's on a journey toward sovereign nationhood."
Ummm, general, they WERE THAT before YOU INVADED THEIR COUNTRY!!
Had a SEAT at the U.N and everything!!!!!

You know, I can excuse that from some of our steeped in propaganda fighting men, but when the NEWSPAPER does it under the banner of "ANALYSIS."
"Pointing to new era, United States pulls back as Iraqis vote" by Alissa J. Rubin, New York Times | February 1, 2009
BAGHDAD - Regardless of the outcome of yesterday's provincial elections in Iraq, it is clear that the Americans are already drifting offstage - and that most Iraqis are ready to see them go.
Pffft! Yeah, start the first paragraph off with more "withdrawal" lies.
Oh, it's a New York Times piece? That explains everything!
The signs of mutual disengagement are everywhere. In the days leading up to the elections, it was possible to drive safely from near the Turkish border in the north to Baghdad and on south to Basra, just a few miles from the Persian Gulf - without seeing a US convoy.
In the Green Zone - once host to the US occupation government and now the seat of the Iraqi government - the primary PX is set to close, and the Americans have retreated to their vast, garrisoned new embassy compound. Iraqi soldiers now handle all Green Zone checkpoints.
US helicopters and drones may be in the sky, but Iraqi boots are on the ground. The Americans are already worried about securing the road to Kuwait because soon they will have to start hauling out much of the vast infrastructure they have built on bases across the country.
I'm just not buying it, sorry -- especially if Israel does what they say they are going to do.
The end of an era comes not in a single moment, but it has become evident that the mood has changed, power has shifted, the world is not the same.
That's just plain spooky and ominous, dare I say, 9/11-like?
In the United States, many Americans view the war as already over, even though more than 140,000 US soldiers remain on Iraqi soil. President Obama has made it plain that Iraq is not his war; he wants to focus on Afghanistan.
Oh my God, are they ever shoveling fst and furious today!
LIKE HELL IT IS, you WAR-MONGERING PIECE of ZIONIST FILTH!!!!!!!! Just because YOUR S*** NEWS PAGES are OMITTING and CENSORING the story does NOT MEAN IT IS OVER to those of us who care!!!!!
Any arguments that remain in Washington about the shape and timing of the troop withdrawal this year seem almost moot here, given how much Iraqis want to show they can govern on their own and how much Americans want to hand over responsibility to the Iraqis.
This is not to suggest that the war is over. In two provinces, Nineveh and Diyala, counterinsurgency operations are still underway, and the military is tracking signs of activity by Sunni extremist groups in the troubled areas surrounding Baghdad. For now, the rest of the country is mostly calm....
Oh, she and THEY are SOMETHING ELSE, aren't they? And we ALL KNOW about "Al-CIA-Duh, " the Israeli death squads, and government-backed death teams.
See Occupation Iraq: Israel's IEDs and related links, readers, for WHO is RESPONSIBLE for the violence -- and keep that in mind as you read the Zionist War Daily's accounts!!
********************
The shifts are subtle, often unspoken. The US military role now has less to do with protecting Iraqis and more with giving them psychological reassurance that they can handle what comes their way. The Americans no longer tell the Iraqis what to do and the Iraqis, especially Iraqi army officers, no longer look to the Americans for approval. At least that is the case in areas where the fighting has stopped.
The American era in Iraq is nowhere near a final act. Iraqis need Americans not just to dampen terrorist activities but to protect them from rapacious neighbors such as Syria and Iran.
Unbelievable. When was the last time either of them invaded Iraq? Never?
And WHO HAS with TROOPS SITTING THERE? Pfffffft!
Yup, the NEW YORK TIMES "analysis," all right.
For the United States, Iraq remains a strategic prize close to the Middle East flash points and the Persian Gulf oil nations.
What's that? A LITTLE FART BLEAT of TRUTH, Times?
Well, HALF-TRUTH, anyway. See: PNAC or a Clean Break.
Also see: Israel Asserting Middle East Supremacy
And no, the NYT will never tell you such things.
It is inescapable that the United States exerts more influence in here than in any other oil-producing country - and will be intent on continuing to do so.
Then WE AIN'T LEAVING, folks! This "analysis" is hogwash!
But it will have to rely on levers other than a huge military presence.
Why? Because Alissa Rubin of the New York Times wrote it in her "analysis?"
Pffffttt!
