What I find dif­fi­cult to under­stand why most of the peo­ple behave like cat­tle derived by politi­cians and the media.
Peo­ple, politi­cians and the media for­get the main prob­lem and started to shift the focus on sub-problems in an attempt to play down the cause of the real problem.

- Why do SAS mem­bers dis­guise as Iraqis?
– Is it the SAS job to gather infor­ma­tion?
– Why do they need two M4, two rocket launch­ers, anti-tanks rock­ets, 2 Machine­guns, wire cut­ters, explo­sives and 2 wigs to gather infor­ma­tion?
– How many mis­sions like this one “suc­ceeded” before ?.

Watch News­night on the BBC

What will hap­pend if two Iraqis walk­ing the streets of Lon­don or New York with the same gad­gets ( in the UK is shoot to kill policy).

For sure we will never hear any infor­ma­tion about their mis­sion from offi­cials, sadly peo­ple also will never ask these ques­tions and much worst they will Jus­tify it and for sure also the com­ing weeks there will be no bomb­ings in Bassra too.

Fake Ter­ror­ism Is a Coalition’s Best Friend

Sev­eral arti­cles have already turned the story against the angry Iraqis who fought the British tanks as they demol­ished the jail wall, paint­ing them as aggres­sive Shia mili­tia attack­ing the doe-eyed, inno­cent troops respond­ing to the con­cern that their com­rades were held by reli­gious fanat­ics. A pho­to­graph of a troop on fire comes com­plete with com­men­tary that the vehi­cles were under attack dur­ing a “bid to recover arrested ser­vice­men” that were pos­si­bly under­cover. All crim­i­nal ele­ments of British treach­ery are down­played, the car’s explo­sive cache is never men­tioned and the sol­diers who insti­gated the affair are made vic­tims of an unsta­ble coun­try they are defending.
