ALJAZEERA notes, "Iraq’s Salahuddin province declared three days of mourning on Sunday after a deadly attack blamed on the ISIL (ISIS) armed group, as some criticised the authorities for failing to fight back." AFP reports:
Late Saturday, a roadside bomb hit a civilian car on an open road near
Mt. Makhoul, about 200 km north of Baghdad, police and a local official
said.
When security forces arrived at the scene, militants opened fire on them, police said.
The attack killed at least six Iraqi security personnel and four
civilians, including one who died of his wounds overnight, according to
local medics.
War Whore Barbara Starr (CNN) surprises no one by immediately using the attacks to argue for US troops in Iraq:
Just to ensure total accuracy. Acting Secretary Miller stepped before cameras, read a statement and took no questions from reporters on the end of America’s longest war. Since then attacks in both Iraq and Afghanistan
There were attacks in Iraq before Chris Miller made the announcement last week. And there was no need for him to take questions, people like Barbara were never going to listen to begin with which is why she insists that the war in Afghanistan was ending. They're drawing down, not withdrawing. Barbara damn well knows the difference but she's an old whore for the Defense Industry and CNN keeps her on the air for that reason. 70 years old. Maybe it's time she retired? Or left CNN to start her own YOUTUBE platform? Young people need jobs. Barbara's done the same whoring for years now. There's no reason to film any new whoring, just air clips of her old whoring. Better yet, show her to the door. She doesn't listen. She lies. She's a menace and a well known liar.
The Iraqi public is jeering the security forces over the Saturday incident. Check out Iraqi social media. But Barbara can't tell you that, won't tell you that. All she'll do is lie that the Afghanistan War is ending. She'd ignore Iraq outright -- as she usually does -- but she needs Saturday's Iraq attack to pimp continued war on Afghanistan.
In another sign of failed leadership in Iraq, the rain.
The rain itself isn't a problem this time of year. It's expected. It's a known. The problem is and remains the crumbling infrastructure which should have been addressed long ago. Public works problems addressing sewage and drainage would prevent most of the threats and lost lives associated with the heavy rains this time of year.
Back to the whores, but this time to the Joe Biden whores. They thought they could coast into the new year scribbling the same non-think piece over and over about how they're going to push Biden to the left. You couldn't do it in the general election when he actually needed your vote. How do you think you can now? This is someone who indicated in the primaries that he might voluntarily be a one-term president. Exactly what is the leverage the Biden Whores think they hold over Joe? THE NEW YORK TIMES is insisting that Joe is going to nominate Antony Blinken to be Secretary of State. When is that push to the left supposed to start?
A pretty good indication we are getting a war presidency. Blinken is a hawk. He was an adviser to Biden when he voted for the Iraq War.
