There should be mass celebration today in Iraq, and in the press, and by mongers everywhere, for today was the day that Iraq's new Prime Minister Nouri Maliki finally filled the three vacant ministerial posts in his new, and now complete, government. Democracy! Rejoice!
By sheer coincidence this heartening story has been blasted off the front page by the announcement, on the same day, of the killing of the terrorist Zarqawi, which took place yesterday.
Then again, looking at the newly appointed ministers, perhaps it wasn't so unfortunate:
Defence Minister
Abdul Qadir Obeidi - one of Saddam Hussein's generals
Interior Minister
Jawad al-Bulani, an aide to the Governing Council from the Iraqi Hizbollah party
National Security Minister
Shirwan Waili - a former military officer under Saddam Hussein
The U.S. military is conducting a propaganda campaign to magnify the role of the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, according to internal military documents and officers familiar with the program. The effort has raised his profile in a way that some military intelligence officials believe may have overstated his importance and helped the Bush administration tie the war to the organization responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
The documents state that the U.S. campaign aims to turn Iraqis against Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian, by playing on their perceived dislike of foreigners. U.S. authorities claim some success with that effort, noting that some tribal Iraqi insurgents have attacked Zarqawi loyalists.
Two slides from a briefing prepared for Gen. George Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, describe a U.S. military propaganda campaign that was intended to highlight the role of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian terrorist, in the Iraqi insurgency. By emphasizing his foreign origin, the "psychological operations" effort sought to play on a perceived Iraqi dislike of foreigners and so split the insurgency.
For the past two years, U.S. military leaders have been using Iraqi media and other outlets in Baghdad to publicize Zarqawi's role in the insurgency. The documents explicitly list the "U.S. Home Audience" as one of the targets of a broader propaganda campaign.
Some senior intelligence officers believe Zarqawi's role may have been overemphasized by the propaganda campaign, which has included leaflets, radio and television broadcasts, Internet postings and at least one leak to an American journalist. Although Zarqawi and other foreign insurgents in Iraq have conducted deadly bombing attacks, they remain "a very small part of the actual numbers," Col. Derek Harvey, who served as a military intelligence officer in Iraq and then was one of the top officers handling Iraq intelligence issues on the staff of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told an Army meeting at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., last summer.

I think this simple statement gives a very clear idea of the barbarity of this whole conflict. The death of a person is not "good news". It may be a decisive moment or a strategic advance, but it is not good news.

As you obviously don't like it 'up you' I will not point out to you how you have totally failed to read what I actually said.

An interesting sentiment from a soi-disant "pacifist".astronaut said:If true, good ridence to extremist scum.
That's "wrecked".Unfortunately, he and his followers have already wreaked any chance of Iraqis living a normal life, at least in the next decade or two or more, so it's not so significant.

Somewhat contradictory though.

Rather like your grasp of written English by the looks of it.
