“good, independent” i.e. “telling me what I want to hear”…. Baghdad isnt that bad and everything is Al-Queda’s fault…. funny how you idiots are desparately trying to claim things are normal when thier not, that the cities arent full of fear when they are, and that its not true that 95 percent of the insurgencey are just nationalists and not sinister bin laden goons. no one willing to put forward any statistics is claiming foreigners are more than 5 percent of the insurgency.. we bribed saddams goons to turn on them, yet the body count still doesnt seem to be dropping.. hmmmm

And, like everything you pack of idiots do, completely predictable….
Same thing happened the merchants who were unfortuntate enough to be selling rugs at the lowest prices when Weinerman and his pack of rethug stooges were cruising the “indiana-like” market looking for bargains…

“Police said Abu Reesha was killed about a mile from his home, but the deputy head of the Anbar Salvation Council, Sheik Hameed al-Hayyes, said the bomb struck the convoy 50 meters from his home in a heavily secured zone surrounding the house.”

A little close to home for those darn foreign jihadis, right? This guy used to be one of Saddam’s goons, seems like all his pals arent on board this little delusional hugfest

Thanks, now take your pills.

Speaking in the al-Iraqiya documentary, Abu Reesha said his group was willing to “liberate all the villages near Baghdad … and if the government asks us to participate in cleansing Baghdad that will be a great honor for us and we will respond to the call.”‘

A short report about Sattar Abu Risha (still alive and well when interviewd by Rick) was on Al Jazeera, YouTube here:
[ Part I || Part II ]

I’m surprised you haven’t posted this info…

Well folks; The MSM have not learned a damn thing. They are still as gullible as ever. They are reporting that Bush has accepted a thirty thousand troop reduction in Iraq, as recommended by Petraeus. That is total bullshit on all counts. Here is the truth.

Petraeus/Bush are not agreeing to that. They both say that they will need the Surge level in order to reduce the violence in Iraq, and if that succeeds, then they will reduce the Surge figures to 130,000. In other words, go back to the level that was there before the 2006 election. Now here is what the MSM, and frankly most of the Blogs are missing. Petraeus and Bush are both saying that if the Surge does not work, then they will not withdraw the 30,000. In other words, they are saying: If the Surge fails, then we are going to keep the full Surge level of Troops in Iraq. That is what they are saying.

that’s what i was wondering…
roger2 knows how to think like a CON because he is one…

like randi always says, pay attention when they tell you
what they are…
…

Is he talking about Risha or Bush? Hard to tell…
