Souljah, I'll not entertain as evidence articles from "news outlets" such as the ones offered. The Arab propensity to lie for strategic gain is well-known, and it doesn't take a brain surgeon to realize that a "news outlet" reporting from an "Occupied Iraq" might be just a wee bit biased, huh?
They are biased to the same level, as are biased the news from the American side, coming from Iraq. You think you the news tell you the real story in Iraq? I dont think so - from just one source, you will receive just one side of the story. By viewing many news sources, you will see more views and news from many sides.
Lies and distortion are not only from the opposing team, and I am totally aware of this. The fact ofhte matter is not that America is being kept in the dark, but EVERYONE is being lied to and propagandized.
You are right here - but is Everyone involved in this Conflict? I think that the American people represent the Backbone of the Military Personell in Iraq. So, ofcourse the Image from Iraq, for an average American, must be perfect.
But I agree all sides use Lies and Deception - just ask yourself how many TV news stations and networks your current goverment holds in hands, and how many the Insurgents have.
Still, its a war for Information.
There will be no peace (absence of struggle; submission), until one faction has ultimate control and the others are dominated. That is to say, another Hussein.
Well - there is another option, since the United Iraq cannot work, the next step is fragmentization of the state into ethinc/religious homogeneous territories: Iraq split into 3 states - Shia, Sunni and Kurdish.
