U.S. military and intelligence officials have systematically underreported the violence in Iraq in order to suit the Bush administration's policy goals, the bipartisan Iraq Study Group said.
The panel pointed to one day last July when U.S. officials reported 93 attacks or significant acts of violence. "Yet a careful review of the reports for that single day brought to light 1,100 acts of violence," it said. LINK HERE
No i'm not CH2 I know people don't want to hear this kind of news about the U.S. but it is important to point it out so that in the future people won't be so quick to deny that this sort of stuff is done by the government. I look at it like this. Just because it is news that people don't want to hear about doesn't mean it shouldn't be reported.

I didn't even read the post.
I don't read any posts by crazyhorse or you or anyone posting politics in the lounge or in smack.
All I know is that some people seem to care more about posting political threads for the sake of it rather than talking about the Redskins.

This is the most serious and objective bi-partisan effort to avoid a catastrophe in Iraq. Watch C-Span2 to hear the Press Conference held in Washington, DC -today- .
This material is definitely worth reading -regardless- of what the position of anybody might be on this important issue.
I am not commenting further or discussiong this topic in this thread. I am done.
Daniel Snyder has defined incompetence, failure and greed to true Washington Redskins fans for over a decade and a half. Stay away from football operations !!!

Then you have some people who come into a thread, make no contribution towards the subject matter only to say they didn't read the article and could care less about political threads.

The U.S. military said ground forces with air support killed 20 suspected al Qaeda militants, including two women, in an area north of the capital where the Sunni Arab insurgency is strong.
Police and officials in Ishaqi, 90 km (50 miles) north of Baghdad, said the bodies of 17 civilians, including six women and five children, were found in the rubble of two homes.
"The Americans have done this before but they always deny it," Ishaqi Mayor Amer Alwan told Reuters by telephone. "I want the world to know what's happening here." LINK HERE
