Thanks. I'm praying, too.

I'm going to slip out there again in a few minutes to listen some more.

I don't get to do stuff like this at home. :)

There’s some parts of Capitol Hill here in Seattle that sound like that, I’ll bet. :-)

The MSM keeps claiming that it was Maliki that begged for the fighting to stop but I found this little tidbit that shows otherwise.

They're saying THAT??!!

They have absolutely no shame.

That couldn't be farther from the truth.

Sadr's people capitulated on Sunday with their surrender terms they presented to Parliament.

Parliament and Maliki have not aceepted those terms.

Heard the same thing, they're spinning it as a huge defeat for Maliki.

They're claiming that Maliki reps went to Iran to beg Sadr to pull his fighters off the street so Maliki could save face.

CNN

***”It also shows how weak the prime minister is here,” Robertson continued. “He went to war against Moqtada al-Sadr’s militia, failed to defeat them ... decisively, and the Iranians have stepped in to help him save face as well.”***

The firefight has stopped for now.

The skies here got sort of busy and I think that put a stop to it.

Late night in Baghdad...the city that never sleeps. ;-)

Uck...Nick Robertson. I can't stand that jerk. He's one of the worst of the Lefty Liars.

So, he's back here now? I wish I could pay a visit to the Palestine Hotel and have a chat with him.

They’re all reporting the same way so if you see any of the lib liars ask them what’s up with their slanted reporting when the facts are so different?

This thread illustrates how badly the media is misrepresenting what’s going on in Iraq, particularly the recent events in Baghdad. It’s infuriating.
