i`m not sure why you hate america...it`s obvious that those guys who used to be our enemy are now our friends...so admit the surge is working and the iraq`s are taking responsibility for it`s destiny!

3. wow that is a great link!

thank you. I never read the NYLIES. This explains why.....

<snip>

With the Administration's "show progress" deadline fast approaching, Sunday's NYT offered not one, but two high-profile stories pitching "improvement propaganda." In the front page piece, we are informed that Fallujah is calm -- but will probably not remain that way if America choses to cut and run pull out. In an inside piece (U.S.-Backed Plan for Sunni Neighborhood Guards Is Tested - link), we learn about the suddenly-breakthrough concept (extrapolated mostly from one locale, Ghazaliya) of contracting Sunni security forces from local "tribal groups."

What is soft peddled in both articles is the fact that these deputized militias, consisting of previously designated bad guys and/or bands of heretofore insurgents are, for the present, being bought off to act (under the necessarily close supervision of U.S. military) like local security -- mostly in place of the Iraqi police and military we have given up trying to work with.

Whereas the Neighborhood Guard photo offers Bush marketing director Gen. Petraeus gleefully pumping hands with members of the newly minted, freshly named and custom outfitted "GG Force" (ladies and gentlemen, the Ghazaliya Guardians!), it seems telling the three props recruits fail to pay much heed to a great military celebrity.

The Fallujah photo from yesterday's front page is a little more involved. According to the caption, we see "Fallujah residents" (i.e. former and potential evil doers) lined up to join an "auxiliary force" (i.e. independent U.S.-backed paramilitary group) to "bolster" (i.e. cooperate for pay with) the local police. By the way, those are local police in the foreground (behind the barricade) deemed to be "guarding a suspect."

"They would Welcome US as Liberator's" they just forgot to bring the flowers!:cry:
