Occupation Iraq: Why Violence is Down

Because the MSM WON'T REPORT IT!!

Then they TURN AROUND and LIE TO YOU about IRAQ AGAIN, America, by telling you violence is down because THEY OMIT IT from the "reporting."

See:
Occupation Iraq: Hell on Earth

Yeah, ATTACKS OCCUR EVERY DAY -- although YOU WOULD NOT KNOW THAT by Glob "
reporting."

No, THIS is ALL I HAVE RECEIVED in my morning paper since October 19
:

"US should seek rebate for Baghdad embassy work, report finds" by Associated Press | October 23, 2009

WASHINGTON - The State Department’s internal watchdog called yesterday for officials to demand a rebate of more than $132 million from a company that built the massive US Embassy in Baghdad to make up for shoddy work.

That is YOUR MONEY, American taxpayers!

Too bad you are broke when it comes to yourself, huh?

In a report, the department’s inspector general said First Kuwaiti Trading & Contracting Co. should be required to pay back roughly a quarter of the $470 million it was awarded to build the sprawling embassy. More than $730 million was spent on the embassy - the largest US diplomatic mission in the world.

This the same firm that GOUGED US on GASOLINE DELIVERIES?

No? I don't know whether that is good or bad.

The report also took issue with the State Department’s oversight of work at the 104-acre compound....

The report called the construction of the compound in a war zone in 34 months a “significant achievement....’’

Construction of the embassy, which was finished in April 2008, months after its planned September 2007 completion, was beset by building, logistical, and security hitches that caused major delays. The inspector general’s report was sent to Congress on Wednesday. In October 2007, the State Department conceded that a host of problems, including major malfunctions in the complex’s physical plant, including electrical and water distribution systems, would push back the embassy opening at least until that spring.

Some of those problems recurred....

First Kuwaiti has been accused of tricking foreign laborers into working on the embassy, mistreating them, and paying $200,000 in kickbacks in return for two unrelated Army contracts in Iraq.

Yeah, this WHOLE, WAR-LOOTING ADVENTURE in MASS-MURDER has STUNK from the VERY START!!

The company denies the charges, which have never been proved.

No, the Pentagon just PAYS THE BILL and DOESN'T BOTHER!

--more--"

Still counting.

I guess we will SEE ABOUT TOMORROW:


Car bombs hit Baghdad government, killing 106

NO WAY they can IGNORE THAT!
