Baghdad governor says suspends cooperation with US
BAGHDAD, March 27 (Reuters) - Baghdad provincial governor Hussein al-Tahan said on Monday he would suspend all cooperation with U.S. forces until an independent investigation is launched into the killing of 20 Shi'ites in a mosque.
"Today we decided to stop all political and service cooperation with the U.S. forces until a legal committee is formed to investigate this incident," he told reporters, adding that the inquiry panel should include the U.S. embassy and the Iraqi defence ministry but not the U.S. military.
Fine, pull back the hummers that protect his home tonight, just before dusk and come back the next morning...
"Baghdad provincial governor Hussein al-Tahan said on Monday he would suspend all cooperation with U.S. forces until an independent investigation is launched into the killing of 20 Shi'ites in a mosque. "
It has been reported all morning, that this did not happen in a mosque.
Reuters never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
Did you mean Al-Reuters?
The "reporters" all wear turbans at Al- Rueters.
America can do nothing for Iraq.
That's good, very good.
I got it from someone else here; it's a meme that's worth spreading.
I think I know the answer...
Sniper teams!
That ought to get his attention, huh?
America has already done a lot for Iraq and the majority of the Iraqis appreciate it. They are freeto elect their own leaders now to name just one.
I will not have our troops or this mission denigrated because of the media's blatant distortions about what is really happening here.
How did a Democrat get over there?
Ding!
The Palestine Hotel is full of them.
It's where the media is headquartered.
The problem with Iraq, is that it's full of Iraqis.
No, seriously... the problem is that at the end of WWI, the Brits decided to take these separate sects and force them into one big government. Then they discovered oil. It's been trouble ever since.
