DO YOU KNOW WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON IN IRAQ?

Here’s a couple of stories I bet you’ve not heard about, unless you’re getting your news from somewhere besides the major American media.

#1 Iraqi tribesmen ARREST 270 Al QAEDA.

Usama Jad’aan, the leader of Karabila tribes in Qaim told al-Hayat that “the operation will continue to eliminate terror elements according to a quality plan” and added “270 Arab and foreign intruders have been arrested, in addition to some Iraqis who were providing them shelter”.

IRAQ THE MODEL provides the translation from the Arabic.

‘’They’re not going to be the 101st Airborne anytime soon,’’ said U.S. Army Lt. Col. Fred Wellman, spokesman for the military transition command in Baghdad. “But in 2006, this is the year that the majority of Iraq will be secured by Iraqis.’’

Don’t you wonder sometimes why this kind of thing isn’t on the FRONT page of your paper, or in the first ten minutes of the evening TV news?
