Occupation Iraq: Odd Side of the Street Violence

It's an every other day thing with the big city Zionist War Daily of New England.

"8 killed in Shi’ite area of Baghdad" by Kim Gamel, Associated Press | August 12, 2009

BAGHDAD - Several bombs exploded nearly simultaneously yesterday in a mainly Shi’ite area in Baghdad, killing at least eight people and raising fears of a sustained insurgent campaign aimed at provoking new sectarian tensions.

I am tired of the tortured logic, readers....

The five-day death toll rose to 123 in the worst spasm of bombings the country has suffered since US forces left the cities at the end of June, turning over urban security to Iraqi troops.

An explosives-laden car parked near a market entrance and two other nearby bombs detonated within minutes of each other at about 8:40 p.m. in the Amin al-Thaniyah neighborhood in eastern Baghdad, killing at least eight civilians and wounding 22, according to police and hospital officials.

If you checked the link you know who is responsible for all this, readers, and it ain't Muslims.

The market was closed, but kebab vendors and a pharmacy were busy with customers when the explosion occurred. Another bomb exploded about 20 minutes later some 900 yards from the initial blasts, wounding five people, a police officer said. The officials all spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to release the information.

Yeah, it is OKAY for AUTHORITIES to be ANONYMOUS in the AGENDA-PUSHING PAPER! Btw, WHAT are the US and ITS CONTRACTORS doing every day in Iraq? Sitting on their thumbs?

Attacks in the northern city of Mosul, which the US military has called the last stronghold of Al Qaeda, also killed at least 34 people Monday and 44 on Friday. It was the first time since the United States turned urban security over to the Iraqis on June 30 that insurgents have managed to stage two massive attacks in short order.

Yesterday’s explosions had a lower death toll but heightened concerns about security measures in the capital because they came after 29 people were killed in a spate of bombings, also on Friday and Monday, in Baghdad. Persistent violence has focused criticism on Iraqi security forces who are now solely responsible for protecting the people in the cities since US forces pulled back to bases on the outskirts. A security pact calls for all American troops to withdraw from the country by the end of 2011.

Yes, I AM SICK of the REPETITIVE LYING!!

To think that I ONCE BELIEVED my Boston Globe and its integrity.

Saef Karar, 25, was lying on the roof of his house to escape the summer heat when the area was filled with smoke from the blast. “I feel sorrow and bitterness that such a brutal calamity occurred in our neighborhood, spoiling the calm it has enjoyed for the past five months,’’ he said.

Now it is REALLY STARTING to STINK -- with the CONFIRMING PFFFFT coming up!

Nobody claimed responsibility for the attacks, but car bombings and suicide attacks bear the hallmark of Al Qaeda in Iraq.

The SURE GIVEAWAY to an "Al-CIA-Duh" or MOSSAD false-flag!

The US military has insisted that overall levels of violence remain low compared with past years but warned insurgents will step up efforts to reignite sectarian violence by provoking retaliatory attacks.

Violence is low compared to what?: Occupation Iraq: Country in Crisis

Ethnic tensions between Arabs and Kurds also are high in northern Iraq.

Yeah, whatever. I've stopped believing what the lying, war-promoting AmeriKan newspapers say.

BAGHDAD - Two bombers wearing suicide vests blew themselves up in a popular cafe crowded with young people in northwestern Iraq yesterday, killing 21 and wounding 30 others, local hospital officials said.

I don't even believe in that anymore.

Ever notice that the Globe carries ENDLESS STORIES from EVERYWHERE of "suicider" Muslims?

I simply NO LONGER BELIEVE the LYING, MUSLIM-HATING, ENEMY-CREATING, WAR-PROMOTING, Zionist AmeriKan newspapers. Never again.

It is the third major bombing in an area of Iraq in and around the violent city of Mosul, where ethnic tensions, insurgent activity, and political disputes have created a volatile mix that threatens the security gains made elsewhere in the country.

Blah, blah, blah. Why would this threaten the rest of the country? It's an absurd claim yet it passes as serious here in my newspaper. Sigh.

The attack was carried out in the city of Sinjar, which is populated primarily by Yazidis, Kurdish-speaking followers of a preIslamic faith with its roots in Zoroastrianism that remains based in an area near the Syrian border. Viewed as apostates by Sunni extremists, the Yazidis have been the victims of attacks in the past.

Oh, okay. Intolerant Muslims again.

Two years ago, a Yazidi village near Sinjar was devastated by one of the worst bombings in Iraq since the US invasion in 2003, when four trucks laden with explosives detonated nearly simultaneously, killing 313 and wounding 704 more. Following the attacks, Kurdish forces moved into the area and made a fortress of Sinjar and the surrounding villages, erecting earthen berms and establishing checkpoints even though the area is not a part of Kurdistan.

And that's a problem because ONLY WE CAN DO THAT!

Control over the area is one of the many flashpoints that continue to inflame Kurdish-Arab tensions. No group claimed responsibility for yesterday’s attack, which followed a series of bombings in the region around Mosul this week.

NOT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

On Monday, twin truck bombs flattened the Shi’ite village of Khazna, killing 38 people, wounding more than 200, and destroying dozens of homes.

And CUI BONO, folks?!!!

The bomb site presented a familiar scene of carnage in Iraq, where the difference between life and death could hang on something as simple as stepping outside to take a phone call....

Pffft! Good Lord, what have we done to that place?

I notice the Zionist MSM rarely -- if ever -- mentions the WMD use in Fallujah or the depleted uranium use (warning: graphic photographs).
