And look at how the U.S. CELEBRATED IT:
"The protests and bombings came a day after a US airstrike on a militant hideout north of Baghdad killed at least 11 insurgents"
Yeah, readers, I am tired of the s*** Boston Globe and its garbage. Like all AmeriKan papers, they suck! I'm sick of their divisive lying, obfuscating, agenda-pushing, war-promoting bulls***, omissions, and censorship!!!
"Iraqis burn US flags to mark war anniversary; Protesters march as bombers strike in several cities" by Hamid Ahmed, Associated Press | March 21, 2009
Yeah, I guess they wouldn't want to publicize how much the Iraqis hate us, and after lying for two years about the surge, etc., they can't report the truth there, either!
BAGHDAD - American flags were set on fire yesterday to chants of "no, no for occupation" as followers of an anti-US Shi'ite cleric marked the sixth anniversary of the Iraq war.
In five other Iraqi cities, supporters of cleric Moqtada al-Sadr also marched or stood in protest after prayers to demand the release of their allies detained at Iraqi and US-run prisons.
The protests came as a suicide bomber in Fallujah killed an Iraqi police officer and five other people, including civilians, in an attempted attack on the home of the local leader of Sunni security volunteers who turned against Al Qaeda.
AHEM!!!!!! "Al-CIA-Duh," huh?
See: Occupation Iraq: Israel's IEDs for why I no longer believe in "suiciders" or anything else the agenda-pushing, war-promoting, Zionist AmeriKan war press has to report about Muslims!!
Also, a pair of roadside bombs exploded within 10 minutes of one another after sundown yesterday, wounding four policemen and three civilians in Baghdad's Karradah district, police said. A police colonel and his aide were wounded in a bombing yesterday in Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit, police said....
Oh, the CUI BONO STENCH is IMMOBILIZING!!!!
****************
The war began with a missile and bombing attack on south Baghdad before dawn on March 20, 2003 - March 19 in Washington....
Yup, NOTHING about the ILLEGAL INVASION being SOLD with LIES by the VERY SAME PAPER here.
Thousands of Sadrist followers in five other cities - Basra, Kut, Diwaniyah, Amarah, and Nasiriyah - also took to the streets in an apparent planned series of protests.
The rest of the world is embarrassing you, Amurka!
In Kut, up to 1,000 worshipers marched from the grand mosque in the center of the city to Sadrist offices a short distance away, denouncing the US occupation and calling for detainees to be released.
The detentions and torture? One sentence, while we are treated to endless articles about Iraqi politics. Pffft!
Outside Fallujah, an Iraqi police officer and a small group of civilians died yesterday while trying to stop a suicide bomber from reaching the home of Saadoun al-Eifan, who runs the local branch of the Sunni volunteers, the Sons of Iraq.
Police Major Hamed al-Jumaili said the bomber was trying to get past guards monitoring a bridge in rural Albu Eifan, where Eifan lives, about 6 miles south of Fallujah. He detonated his explosives belt after bring confronted by the police officer and residents, Jumaili said.
The protests and bombings came a day after a US airstrike on a militant hideout north of Baghdad killed at least 11 insurgents, the United States said. A search of the site by ground forces after the strike found a cache of weapons, munitions, and parts to build improvised explosive devices, US military spokesman Major Derrick Cheng said yesterday.
Cheng did not immediately know yesterday whether any civilians were killed or injured in the strike, or exactly when it occurred.--more--"
I don't know about you; however, I am getting sick of the AmeriKan MSM being a mouthpiece for the government.
"Iraqi family sues ex-Blackwater guard" by Associated Press | March 21, 2009
RALEIGH, N.C. - The family of a slain Iraqi security guard says in a federal lawsuit that a former Blackwater contractor fatally shot the man while wandering drunk in Baghdad, and the survivors accuse the company of covering up wrongdoing while reneging on promises of compensation.
Raheem Khalaf Sa'adoon's wife and two children said Blackwater, the North Carolina-based company now known as Xe, destroyed documents to hide evidence of a pattern of recklessness. The lawsuit filed Thursday in the southern district of California also says the company promised to compensate the widow, Wijdan Mohsin Saed, in a series of payments but stopped after an initial payment of $20,000.
"She was expecting a continued stream of compensation," Susan Burke, a Washington-based lawyer for the family, said in an interview. "But, obviously, with killing the breadwinner of the family, they had essentially cut off her means of livelihood. She's a stay-at-home mom and doesn't have any other source of income."
The lawsuit names both Xe and the former Blackwater guard, Andrew Moonen. It says Moonen shot Sa'adoon without provocation on Christmas Eve 2006 after getting drunk at a party and then getting lost. Sa'adoon, 32, was on guard duty for Iraq's vice president.--more--"
Yeah, U.S. MURDER is a BRIEF -- on a SLOW SATURDAY to boot!!!
Update: And what do we get this morning?
GARBAGE!
In Baghdad, pricey pets signal freedom
How fucking shameless the lying, agenda-promoting AmeriKan press is!
They have never told the truth about Iraq, and the horse shit propaganda never ends. I don't even want to purchase a paper today, and wouldn't if my friend didn't visit on Sundays. The only reason I'm buying it today is so he can have the sports.
I know I've said it repeatedly; however, this is it. I gave them a week reprieve and they just shoveled more shit, so... bye-bye, Globe.
