SUBTLE SIGN OF PROGRESS IN IRAQ

Interesting take on the April 9th (4th anniversary of the fall of Baghdad) protests in Iraq.

The press universally attached only one significance to these protests: Iraqis want the US out now.

Matty O'Blackfive quotes a State Department source who noted something else:

when the Shia were demonstarting in Najaf for the expelling of the Coalition "occupiers," the most significant and predominant visual was the crowds waving the Iraqi flag; not the green banner of Shia or the black martyrs' flags. That act of nationalism, even though likely staged, had to resonante with a sizeable portion of the demonstartors. At least the leadership felt the need or advantage of doing that.

He also discusses MSM errors & omissions about the recent Iraqi Parliament bombing. It's a short piece, and worth the read.
