Security forces arrest 109 suspected gunmen over past 20 hours

Oh this is such horrible news...

/Oh how we all miss the days when we controlled the facts, the truth, and we were able to twist all the news especially from overseas..

Oh those golden years back in RVN.

We where Kings. We just decided that Vietnam wasn't worth fighting for. And Yes By God we NEWS GIANTS just made up our minds and decided we were going to stop it!

Oh the power we had!

We hammered away... day in and day out.. and finally were able to change the American people's opinion at home and change the opinion of peoples from all around the World.

YES with constant effort we brain-washed them them to Hate and Fear the American fighting man.

By God we proud few News Brokers in NYC [the alphabet soup news companies] and our Flagship Rapporteurs were able to turn the heroic image of the American Fighting Man into a Crazed Baby Killing Dope Fiend in a few short years!

Yes and their officers and General officers too, we back stabbed them all with leaks and nasty slanted news HA!!

It was so wonderful for us then..
in fact we actually got folks to spit on our heroic Armed Forces Personal as they changed aircraft in Oakland and San Francisco to Travis AFB a few miles North.....

Well our absolute power is all most gone now...

but hey..

Maybe we can still can get the stupid people and illegal immigrants to vote for Obama and get him elected!!!

:(

#3 Note all the activity is around Mosul and Kirkuk, the northern limit of Sunni Arabs. There is nowhere else for them to run.

#4 Lots of arrests, very few are being killed resisting. Are these mostly innocents being swept up - and hence not resisting? Or do the guilty now know not to resist because they'll be released in a day or two? Or are these midnight stun and grab arrests where they are too shocked to resist before their weapons are taken and the handcuffs applied?
