AP - Chaos Erupts in Parts of Central Iraq

The following article Chaos erupts in parts of central Iraq is a clear indication of just how bad things really are.

The article itself has some decent analysis, and a laundry list of events...

But, to me, what is most telling is that if THIS is the news were ARE getting...then what must the news really be like???

Consider how tightly the news flow is being controlled.

Consider how strenuously the administrators, the minders, and perhaps even the writers and editors themselves are trying to "keep it positive" and spin the news as far as possible to the benefit of the US.

It seems to me that we are getting our asses handed to us on a platter.
