Gates Urges ‘Restraint’ as Iraqi Forces Allegedly Attack Iranian Dissident Camp

BAGHDAD – Defense Secretary Robert Gates urged the Iraqi government on Friday to “show restraint” after security forces stormed an Iranian opposition refugee camp that had long existed under the protection of the U.S. and its coalition partners.

“We have been monitoring the situation at Camp Ashraf in Diyala,” said Gates after a visit with American troops in Iraq. “We are very concerned with reports of deaths, of injuries resulting from this morning’s clash between Iraqi Security Forces and the MEK. I urge the Iraqi government to show restraint and live up to their commitments to treat the residents of Ashraf in accordance with Iraqi law and their international obligations.”
********************************

Beginning in Iraq now. Slaughter of Iranian Dissidents by the Iraqi, AMERICAN trained army. This is entering the real danger zone for our troops over there. If they try and protect the Iranian Dissidents, they will have to fight the regular Iraqi army.
DAMN barack obama to hell. DAMN HIM!!!

US to use Facebook, Twitter to issue terror alerts

By EILEEN SULLIVAN, Associated Press Eileen Sullivan, Associated Press – Thu Apr 7, 6:14 pm ET

WASHINGTON – Terror alerts from the government will soon have just two levels of warnings — elevated and imminent — and those will be relayed to the public only under certain circumstances. - Color codes are out; Facebook and Twitter will sometimes be in, according to a Homeland Security draft obtained by The Associated Press.

Some terror warnings could be withheld from the public if announcing a threat would risk exposing an intelligence operation or an ongoing investigation, according to the government’s confidential plan.

Like a gallon of milk, the new terror warnings will each come with a stamped expiration date.

The new system, replacing the five color-coded levels, is expected to be in place by April 27.

A 19-page document, marked “for official use only” and dated April 1, describes the step-by-step process that would occur behind the scenes when the government believes terrorists might be threatening Americans.

It describes the sequence of notifying members of Congress, then counterterrorism officials in states and cities, then governors and mayors

and,

ultimately,

the public.

It even specifies details about how many minutes U.S. officials can wait before organizing urgent conference calls to discuss pending threats.

It places the Homeland Security secretary, currently Janet Napolitano, in charge of the National Terrorism Advisory System.

The new terror alerts would also be published online using Facebook and Twitter “when appropriate,” the plan said, but only after federal, state and local leaders have been notified.

They may have been TRAINED by us but who's issuing the orders?
