General calls Iraq massacre 'trademark al Qaeda'....the Propaganda Surge Continues..
Call Me Shocked !!!!!!!!

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Truck bombings that killed and wounded hundreds in northern Iraq were a "trademark al Qaeda event" designed to sway U.S. public opinion against the war, a U.S. general said Wednesday.

The Tuesday attacks, which targeted Kurdish villages of the Yazidi religious minority, were attempts to "break the will" of the American people and show that the U.S. troop escalation -- the "surge" -- is failing, Maj. Gen. Benjamin Mixon said.

1. "How did you know it was al Qaeda, general?"
"Well, Bob, they used "bullets" which were fired from "rifles" - a new technology they're getting from Iran. It's a signature of al Qaeda operations. Booga booga!!!"

2. Well, these days in Iraq it seems to be US & Al Qaeda Vs. Al Qaeda and Iraq
If you've not read the report on the US fighting alongside former Al Qaeda, here it is for you:

So, it seems now the Bush regime is both with itself and the terrorists and against the other terrorists, and the Iraqis who support them, oh and the other terrorists of course who are killing the Iraqi civilians - now, they're both against the civilians and the "terrorists" they support and the US, and the terrorists they support.

Oh my God, so can anyone say "who's with us or against us" anymore? Perhaps the Bush regime could answer the question and enlighten us all in light of the recent news? Because a summary of the above appears to seem like...Oh, never mind, i'm not even going to work this out now, I need a coffee.
