"Suicide truck bombing destroys key bridge in Iraq" by Barbara Surk, Associated Press | October 18, 2009
Iraqi Army soldiers inspected a bridge destroyed yesterday in a truck bomb attack in Ramadi. The bridge is on a highway used by the US military to transport equipment out of the country (Associated Press).
I'm sorry, but it that does NOT LOOK LIKE anything a TRUCK BOMB DID!!!!!
BAGHDAD - A suicide bomber driving a dynamite-laden truck yesterday destroyed a key bridge on a highway used by the departing US military, while separate attacks killed nine Iraqis, most of them security force members, police said.
They ACTUALLY EXPECT US to BELIEVE THIS CRAP?
That's almost as bad as saying the pious insurgents destroyed a mosque!
No one else died in the blast that ruined the bridge outside the city of Ramadi, which is about 70 miles west of Baghdad, a local police officer said.
An ABSOLUTE STENCH!!!
Yup, SLOW DOWN the US "withdrawal," stoo-pid insurgent!
The highway is used heavily by the US military to transport equipment out of the country.
Well, that should SLOW DOWN the "withdrawal," huh?
It is also a major roadway for civilian traffic. The highway links Iraq to Syria and Jordan, where many Iraqis fled to escape sectarian violence.
So we are MOVING STUFF to JORDAN, huh?
Also yesterday, an attack on an Iraqi Army convoy just outside of the city of Fallujah killed four Iraqi soldiers and wounded 14, said a police officer in the city, which is about 40 miles west of Baghdad. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity.

Young women in Fallujah in Iraq are terrified of having children because of the increasing number of babies born grotesquely deformed, with no heads, two heads, a single eye in their foreheads, scaly bodies or missing limbs.
COMING SOON to AMERICAN WOMBS, soldiers!
In addition, young children in Fallujah are now experiencing hideous cancers and leukaemias. These deformities are now well documented, for example in television documentaries on SKY UK on September 1 2009, and on SKY UK June 2008. Our direct contact with doctors in Fallujah report that: In September 2009, Fallujah General Hospital had 170 new born babies, 24% of whom were dead within the first seven days, a staggering 75% of the dead babies were classified as deformed."
That's because of the DEPLETED URANIUM SHELLS and MUNITIONS we use, 'murkn!

That's right, ATTACKS EVERY DAY that go UNREPORTED in the AmeriKan paper -- as does the FORGOTTEN WMD USE!
No wonder we are vetoing s*** at the UN for Israel!
A US military spokesman in Iraq’s western Anbar Province, where both Ramadi and Fallujah are located, confirmed yesterday’s explosion on the highway bridge, which was close to two Iraqi military bases that host US troops in the area. Lieutenant Colonel Curtis L. Hill would not say what effect its destruction might have on US military convoys transporting equipment out of Iraq to meet President Obama’s deadline for a complete pullout of combat troops by August 2010....
Yeah, one day it is 2010, the next 2011, then 2012, tc, etc, etc. when will you learn we are NOT LEAVING, AmeriKa!?
Violence also continued in northern Iraq yesterday. Attackers threw hand grenades at an Iraqi Army patrol near Kirkuk, killing two civilians and wounding two others, a police official said. In Mosul, two police officers and one civilian were killed in three unrelated incidents....
BAGHDAD - A man stood up during Friday prayers in a violence-plagued town in northern Iraq and shot the prayer leader at point-blank range with an assault rifle before spraying the kneeling worshipers around him and detonating a suicide belt, killing 15 people, witnesses said.
You can't write this stuff any better.
The attack also wounded 100 others inside the Taqwa mosque in Tal Afar, a town in the northern province of Nineveh that is among several areas contested by various ethnic and religious groups in Iraq’s north. The town, which is about 40 miles from Iraq’s border with Syria, is made up primarily of Shi’ite Turkmens.
And CUI BONO, readers? Does it make sense to you?
Tal Afar has been the scene of dozens of attacks since the outbreak of sectarian violence in Iraq in 2006, and violence has continued there even as it has ebbed in much of the rest of the nation....
And Tal Afar is ALSO where one of the most NOTORIOUS MURDERS took place:

The mosque, which was attacked yesterday just after noon, was one attended primarily by Sunni Arabs. The prayer leader, Abdel Satar Hassan, was a member of the Iraq Islamic Party, the country’s largest Sunni Arab political group. Witnesses said they heard gunshots and then an explosion and saw a thick cloud of dust and dirt that rose into the air, adding to the confused scene inside....
Well, WE KNOW WHO is behind the "sectarianism," folks!

And if we are PULLING OUT, why was OBAMA SENDING MORE TROOPS!?
"US cancels deployment of 3,500 soldiers to Iraq
WASHINGTON - The Pentagon is canceling plans to send a 3,500-member Army brigade to Iraq, a move that speeds the drawdown there and could free up forces as President Obama considers sending more troops to Afghanistan.
Yeah, WHATEVER they are doing they will NOT be COMING HOME!
And WHAT the HELL was he doing SENDING MORE TROOPS anyway?

Oh.
That's why the SECTARIAN VIOLENCE NEVER STARTS until WE GET THERE, huh?
Otherwise, they would NOT BE INTERMARRYING and the MOSQUES would not have survived CENTURIES!
The First Infantry Brigade Combat Team from the 10th Mountain Division, based at Fort Drum in New York, had been scheduled to relieve another combat brigade in Iraq in January.
That is NOT a DRAW DOWN!
But it will instead remain in the Army’s pool of available combat forces, the Defense Department said yesterday. “This decision was based on a thorough assessment of the security environment in Iraq and reflects the continued improvement in the ability of the Iraqi Security Forces to safeguard Iraqi citizens and institutions,’’ the statement said.
Yeah, there are ATTACKS EVERY DAY and QUESTIONS and CONCERNS about security, BUT..... pffft!
