"It is good of these people to discuss accountability for theft, but the most important thing to account for is Iraqi blood," ... Read Full Story

"Baghdad is a smashed City" The western media shows a very limited scenario of the devastation caused as a result of the USUK's illegal invasion of Iraq and nothing of the war crimes they have committed there.

Here's the most recent Dispatches: May 27, 2007 "Baghdad is a smashed city..." Below is an email I have ... Read Full Story

As much as Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki tries to shift the blame following this week's multiple bomb attacks in Baghdad, apart from the tragic death toll, he and his State of Law Coalition are the big losers as the countdown begins to March elections. Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr can only gain from Maliki's wavering. - Sami Moubayed (Dec 11, '09)
