As the Title suggests I am a vet, and proud of it, and proud of all those that wear the uniform of the United States of America. You name it we'll talk about it. Politics, sports and much more. However, I am also very interested in what is happening to this great country of ours, politically and socially...So SOUND OFF PRIVATE!!!

More MSM Deception?

As described in the MSM, Iraq is in total "Civil War", everything is falling apart, Shiites and Sunni are on a rampage to kill each other, Militia's taking over sectarian security...and the list goes on. However, there are other sources that disagree. This article posted in the "American Thinker" helps shed a little more light on the subject.

Iraq sectarian violence update


For those interested in keeping an accurate body and mosque count as related to the recent sectarian violence in the Baghdad municipal civil war, Omar at Iraq the Model has updated stats that indicate a lower level of rabid behavior than that reported by the mainstream media (MSM):

Curfew extended in Baghdad and three other provinces

The defense minister in a press conference currently on Iraqi TV gave statistics to correct what he described as “exaggerated media reports” about civilian casualties and attacks on mosques since the attack on the Samarra shrine:

Mosques attacked/shot at without damage: 21 not 51

Moderately damaged: 6 not 23

Mosques destroyed totally: 1 not 3

Mosques occupied by militias: 1 not 2 (evacuated later).

Civilians killed: 119 not 183


It was also announced that day-time curfew in Baghdad and three other provinces (Salahiddin, Diyala and Babil) will continue for another two days.

The Rest of The Story
