How Embarrassing!
Picture this...
You report to the international news agencies that 11 of your family members in Iraq have been slaughtered!
You hold several press conferences and gain great sympathy.
(AFP)
You become an overnight sensation with the antiwar media.
You've never had so much sympathy and attention in all your life.
You even get a state funeral in Jordan where you make a living as a Baathist anti-Iraq War journalist.
(Awad Awad, Deseret)
You get photos taken of you and your official government guest sobbing in grief.
You hold more press conferences for the dozens of media personnel wanting to hear more about the horrible slaughter of your family members back in Baghdad.
Your supposedly dead family members back in Baghdad show up and wave and smile for the cameras!
(Much thanks to my friend Iraqi-American Haider Ajina for forwarding the article with the family picture from the Iraqi Barutha News.)
The sad thing is... The original story made headlines around the world, but this photo correction will not even make the back page.
UPDATE: Aswat Aliraq reports: Arrest Warrant For Diaa al-Kawwaz!!
Iraqi-American Haider Ajina informs me that according to Barutha News the Iraqi Government (Interior Ministry) has requested and recieved an arrest warrant for Dia al-Kawwaz (Dhia Alkoozi).
Haider adds: "What a change. What a change. All thanks to our men and women serving in Iraq and the Iraqis who are getting a taste of human dignity and human rights and the rule of law...."

Bwahahaha! The MSM is dishonesty Inc.
Democrat?
There should be international arrest warrants for traitor media as well, namely AFP AP, and whoever else ran the fake news.
Absolutely priceless!
Lets not forget that he is a Muslim who can have more than one wife. He probably will claim, “Actually, it was the other family that got killed. Not this one.”
Great post, thanks.
We were pining for the Fjords!

Fake-but-accurate, right?
I hate when that happens!
Great post!
All’s fair in LOVE & WAR and if you are an ANTI-AMERICAN leftist in the media it is mandatory to lie to push your agenda and hide the truth when exposed.
A story that was too good for the liberal media to research (just in case it wasn’t true, which it wasn’t)
I see them waving and I am reminded of the Beverly Hillbillies.
Remember folks, you can’t have slaughter without laughter...
Y’all come back now ya hear.
So what’s the shock, dead people in America vote for Dumb-o-crats.
