"BECAUSE PEOPLE WHISPER THAT'S TRUE.  AND LIKE IN HIGH SCHOOL, I AVOIDED GYM CLASS BECAUSE I WAS -- WELL -- ME -- AND SO LIKE ONE TIME THIS GYM TEACHER WHO WAS BIG AND BURLY AND HAIRY AND WHO I WAS PERVERSELY ATTRACTED TO FORCED ME TO SUIT UP AND PARTICIPATE AND WHEN I DID I HAD TO PUT ON A JOCK AND EVERYONE SAW WHAT MY MOTHER CALLED MY TEENY WEENY BEANIE KRUGMAN AND IT GOT OUT ALL OVER THE SCHOOL THAT MY PENIS WAS ONLY 1/2 INCH WHEN HARD AND SO I KNOW WHISPERS ARE ALWAYS TRUE."

PARTY WITH JUDITH MILLER AS HE GIGGLED ABOUT HOW "BIG BILL KRISTOL'S SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.  I WONDER WHAT HE'LL WEAR?''




The liberation or 'liberation' of Mosul continues. 

Another press briefing by the US State Dept took place yesterday and Iraq was ignored as usual while the obsession over Syria continued. 


Iraq: Two Months into Mosul Operations, Over 96,800 Iraqis Displaced

Over 3 million people are displaced in . We're reaching hundreds of thousands with food, water & essential aid, but we want to do more.








Bill Van Auken (WSWS) notes the US government's outrage over Syria contrasted with the US-led mission in Iraq:


The hypocrisy of the US denunciations of the brutal methods employed by the Syrian government and its allies in eastern Aleppo has been underscored by the unfolding of a similarly savage siege being directed by the Pentagon against the far larger urban population of Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city. As many as 1.5 million people still live in that metropolitan area, which the Iraqi army surrendered to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in June 2014.
With the US-backed offensive against Mosul now nearly two months old, conditions for the city’s residents are growing increasingly desperate, while the number of civilians killed continues to mount.
Scattered reports from media in the region provide a glimpse of the carnage unfolding in Mosul. Turkey’s Anadolu news agency reported that an entire family of nine was wiped out on Tuesday in a US drone missile strike against a house in Mosul’s al-Falah district. “Nine family members were killed in the attack,” an Iraqi police officer told the agency.
And The New Arab (Al-Araby Al-Jadeed) reported Thursday: “At least 40 civilians have been killed including women and children and dozens of others injured in air raids and artillery fire in the east of the Islamic State group [IS] bastion of Mosul, local and medical sources have said. The civilians were killed early on Wednesday with many of the injured still trapped under rubble...”

While similar accounts of human suffering in Aleppo have received non-stop coverage in the Western media amid official denunciations of Syria and Russia, reports of the slaughter in Mosul have been effectively blacked out.

THIS JUST IN! IT TAKES A DOORMAT!

BULLY BOY PRESS &  CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE


HUMAN DOORMAT HUMA ABEDIN HAS LOOKED THE OTHER WAY AS HER HUSBAND CHEATED ON HER, SEXTED ON HER, SEXTED ON HER AFTER SAYING NEVER AGAIN, THEN SEXTED ON HER WITH A BONE IN HIS UNDERWEAR AND THEIR CHILD ON THE BED BESIDE HIM.

TODAY, WE LEARN WHERE SHE DRAWS THE LINE: 'I WANT TO SEE WARRANT FOR THE SEARCH OF MY PERVY HUSBAND'S LAPTOP!'

REACHED FOR COMMENT, HUMA DOORMAT BEGGED, "PLEASE DON'T STEP ON ME."






Mohammed Tawfeeq ‏@mtawfeeqCNN
Today marks the end of second month since the #Iraqi-led coalition launched the operation to retake #Mosul from #ISIS on Oct 17,2016.




It's day 59 of the Mosul operation and the slog continues.


It's produced War Crimes, this operation.  It's killed civilians.  It's destroyed homes.  The US government has bombed hospitals (War Crime).  But they're not really able to do much more, are they?


Oh, wait, they have created something: Refugees.

The number of displaced people from has reached 110,000 civilians, mostly women and children.







CNN gathers a number of Iraqi voices in a piece by Moni Basu.  This is from the section on Bashir Mohammed Khadir who, along with his wife and their eight children, is now a refugee:

Khadir gulps his glass of syrupy tea before he launches into a tirade. He blames the 2003 invasion for creating a power vacuum in Iraq that gave rise to extremism. He says the United States abandoned Iraq in its hour of need when it withdrew its troops in 2011.
But mostly, Khadir resents the Shia-dominated government in Baghdad for playing to sectarian tensions.
"Iraq can only be one again if we remove the people in power," he says. "The government does not care about the people."
He mentions a law that bans alcohol. The parliament passed it in October, just days after the Mosul offensive launched. Khadir considers himself a Muslim, but says: "Not everyone in Iraq is a Muslim. Why should there be a ban on alcohol?"
These are the kinds of things Khadir believes will continue to stoke differences among Iraqis.
"It's impossible," he says, "for life to go back to normal, for us to live in peace."


Let's also note Sherzad Mamsari, a Jewish Iraqi:
"ISIS is not a new phenomenon. There has always been an ISIS for us," he says, referring to years of persecution of minorities in Iraq.
At one time, there was a thriving Jewish community in Iraq. The New York Times cited a 1917 Ottoman census that counted 80,000 Jews among the 220,000 residents of Baghdad.
But the community has largely been extinguished through discrimination, persecution and exodus to Israel.
Mamsani grew up in the Kurdish city of Irbil, the son of a Jewish mother and Muslim father, and recalls his own experience of being forced to study Islam in school and pray in the Muslim fashion.
He says only 10 Jews are left in Baghdad. Another 50 families are said to be living in the Kurdish areas, but Mamsani believes the real number is higher. He says many Jews practice their faith clandestinely because they are scared.



"ISIS is not a new phenomenon.  There has always been an ISIS for us." 

It's a reality that many in the west do not want to admit.


U.S. officials: 75% of ISIS terrorists killed in Iraq, Syria - reports






Thing is though, they don't know how many members of the Islamic State there are -- let alone how many in states with porous borders.


Thing is, they can and do make up numbers. 

I'm sure the estimates exist.

They always do.

And they're always shaped, as they move up the chain to the White House to convince whichever president is in the White House at that time that things are going wonderfully.


These aren't facts.

These are happy thoughts collected.


And when that's all they have to offer -- 59 days in -- then their mission is going very poorly.
