 Bomb Rips Baghdad Market Ahead of U.S. PullbackPosted on Jun 25, 2009
At least 76 people were killed and more than 150 wounded in Baghdad by a bomb detonated in a busy marketplace Wednesday night. The bombing, just six days before U.S. security forces are set to pull back from Iraq’s cities and towns, was the third such incident to inflict double-digit civilian casualties in the last two weeks.

They had another headline, Paul, that more focefully implied or stated that the US was leaving the Iraqi cities. I don’t remember precisely what it was. This is perfectly legitimate and demonstrates a willingness to capture more of the reality-based truth.

Truthdig did not change the headline? It still states we are pulling out.

Are there any Americans left who actually believe such bullshit? “US Security Forces” is a joke. George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld failed to stop an attack on the US on 9/11/01 and these fools had a combined sixty or more years in US government. Security is the tool and method used to frighten and oppress people. The US has a nuclear arsenal that could end all life on this planet and somehow Americans need security? It’s a joke.

Oh, good, truthdig changed the headline. It formerly implied that the US was leaving Iraq.

The truthdig piece is more bullshit. US is not going to bull out of Iraq. According to the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) this US is supposed to pull out of the cities by June 30th. An article by Leaver and Atzmon on CommonDreams detail that this isn’t going to happen. It’s just more Obama Let’s Pretend, and the US media is playing along, as usual.

I would refer this article to the “Symbols” article. And it shows how CIA goons and their clandestine activities can backfire. This article suggests the violence may be ushering out US forces, while, I believe the intention of the violent events by the CIA and DOD goons is designed to keep us there.
So far as I know no one is buying it. We want out and are not CARING OR WATCHING the violence anymore. We are used to it. Its the CIA way. But the Iraqi people will hate us forever, with good reason. Nice job, goons.
