It shows you the CENSORSHIP if noting else.

Caption: Outpouring of Grief -- Iraqi women grieved yesterday for a relative killed in a massive truck bombing on Saturday, during burial services in Najaf, south of Baghdad. Police and rescue crews sifted through the rubble of a mosque squad and dozens of flattened mud-brick homes near Kirkuk, looking for more survivors of the worst attack in Iraq in more than a year.
Just as we are getting ready to leave!
Description: I count five women in the niqab, three of whom I can see wailing and crying. One has a hand placed on her forehead, with another woman (back to the camera) soothingly clasping her arm. I can't comment.
All I know is there are tars here right now. I know swearing and screaming here will do nothing to end this so....
"Kirkuk is viewed as a potential flashpoint between Iraq’s Shi’ite Arab-led central government and Kurds."
Well, if you can't get Sunnis at Shiite throats, this is the next best thing, 'eh?
"Death toll at 73 in Iraq bombing" by Mustafa Mahmoud, Reuters | June 22, 2009
KIRKUK, Iraq - The death toll from Iraq’s deadliest bombing in more than a year rose to 73, police said yesterday, a day after a suicide bomber detonated a truck packed with explosives outside a mosque in the north of the country.
They couldn't wait two more weeks until we are supposedly out, huh?
I hate to keep doing this, but please see Tortured Logic and related links for why I no longer buy any agenda-pushing, war-promoting, Zionist crap about Iraq!!
More than half of the victims were pulled from the rubble and dust of about 70 clay brick homes that were flattened in the explosion near the northern city of Kirkuk, said Brigadier General Najeh Mohammed, the local head of civil defense.
Sounds familiar: The Firebombing of Farah
“We expect that there are still some dead bodies under the rubble.’’ said Mohammed.
(Oh, God! Please forgive this nation for bringing hell to Iraq)
A survivor of the powerful explosion, Askar Zaman, said 10 of his relatives were killed, including sons and grandsons. Another, Hussein Azab, said he lost eight members of his family.
Black flags and banners of mourning fluttered from poles all over the Shi’ite Muslim village of Taza and the victims were swiftly buried in the same part of the local cemetery....
Not that I am happy about such things, but I honor them!
And I'M NOT BUYING the SECTARIAN LIE!
Ever notice the VIOLENCE EBBS and ESCALATES and seems to COINCIDE with the WISHES of those who LIES US in there in the FIRST PLACE?
While overall violence has fallen significantly since the sectarian war and insurgency triggered by the 2003 US invasion peaked in 2006-2007, devastatingly high death tolls from individual bombings remain stubbornly common.
That's the NEW MSM line.
Translation: WE are HIDING the REALITIES so we can CLAIM BUSH'S SURGE WORKED and so Americans won't REALLY BE CALLING for WITHDRAWAL!
But we''ll LEAK OUT SELECTIVE VIOLENCE to keep the agenda moving!
-- AmeriKa's MSM
Kirkuk is viewed as a potential flashpoint between Iraq’s Shi’ite Arab-led central government and Kurds - who view it as their ancestral homeland and want it included in their semi-autonomous northern enclave.
And CUI BONO, Plan B?
