It is not a good sign when you don't even trust your puppets. US troops today invaded the offices of a TV station owned by the most trusted Shi`ite ally of the US: the Higher Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (is there something ironic that such a council is the closest ally of the US among the Shi`ite groups?). Muwwaffaq Rubay`i (who is coming to MESA): who is a most corrupt and most submissive puppet of the occupation tried to intervene: explaining to the US soldiers that "we are friends" of the occupation to no avail. The soldiers said that they were looking for the missing American soldier, and that was that.
