A lie and a fabrication wrapped in deception. Do they think that with those planted propaganda items in US newspapers they will be able to convince anybody? "U.S. and Iraqi military forces battling militias in Baghdad often must seek permission from Iraq's government before launching even routine missions, complicating efforts to loosen the grip of religious violence in the capital." Oh, yeah. US troops don't do anything before they consult with the puppets that they had installed. Makes sense.
