there were nine women and one child who were being buried. the iraqis said they died when a bus was bombed (NOT by the us i want to add). HOWEVER, the us military said NO ONE WAS KILLED ON THE BUS. sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the actual casualty figures of iraqi citizens are being altered by the military. NO WONDER THE SURGE IS WORKING!
perhaps they can use the logic in the us cities with the highest murder (and other crimes) rates? sounds like a plan to me!
