Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki condemned the raids and demanded an explanation for the assault into a district where he has barred U.S. operations in the past.

In other words, a terrorist safe haven. I'm a little surprised to learn that US operations were barred from operating anywhere. Hopefully, this is a new aggressive trend.

Gee isn’t it intresting that the All Propaganda reporting on both Iraq and Afganistan start out today with claims of wanton civilian attacks by Coalition forces

Let see. Both from AP, the same orgnaization that has a number of local stringers it hired sitting in Iraq prisons caught read handed aiding the Insurgents.

Could it be that maybe AP needs to do some house cleaning since it is pretty obviously being used as a propaganda outlet by our foes?

War is hell. Its time for the U.S. to take off the "kid gloves" and stop allowing others to tell our forces where they can do their jobs and where they can't do their jobs.

Looks as if Maliki is two-faced and is doesn't want peace.
