It's ironic that the MSM have been reporting how horribly it's supposedly going in Iraq, and then when something like this happens they neglect to mention the conditions of the specific location, choosing instead to toss off a few details while dwelling on the supposed actions. Sure, we must investigate all of this--but ALL of it. No crime is ever investigated without taking into account all of the details.
I mean, that'd be like reporting on a man shooting another man, and casually mentioning that the dead man was breaking into the shooters house. The MSM would never do that... ;)
Anybody want to ping lugsoul and sinkspur?
