Iraq's new PM tired of US Troops killing civilians "by mistake".
"BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's new prime minister, clearly determined to assert his sovereign authority, said on Tuesday his patience was wearing thin with excuses from U.S. troops that they kill civilians "by mistake".

Vowing to demand answers about the deaths of civilians in the town of Haditha last year, Nuri al-Maliki said: "We are worried about the increase in 'mistakes'.

"I am not saying that they are intentional. But it is worrying for us," he told Reuters in an interview..."

lies, cover-ups and illegal activities are wearing on us all.

5. I love Robert Parry's
writing..this should be required reading for every Soldier in the military and every American who considers themselves a patriot.

"As a result of Bush’s incessant propaganda, a poll of 944 U.S. military personnel in Iraq – taken in January and February 2006 – found that 85 percent believed the U.S. mission in Iraq was mainly “to retaliate for Saddam’s role in the 9/11 attacks.” Seventy-seven percent said a chief war goal was “to stop Saddam from protecting al-Qaeda in Iraq.”

There about as well informed at fauxsux snooze..poor things to believe what that pissonAmericaant bush says.
