Ok, I am now confused

[whosinpower]

In regards to the Najaf crisis is Iraq.....

Al Sadr agrees to withdraw - but doesn't?
Allawi states that Iraqi forces have taken over - but didn't?
The peace mission failed - but Al Sadr stated that he would negotiate???
The militia disarmed - but didn't??

Can anyone enlighten me?????

Sorry. But confused is the only natural state that will enable you to survive the experience. Attempts to apply logic or otherwise understand will only lead to brain damage.

3. Resource.

Over at SmirkingChimp.com, a couple posters have dedicated a thread to try and make sense of it all. It's long but informative.

The Really Long Najaf Thread

Midday, the SC server gets real slow, so tune in now if you can.

Truth is the first casualty.

5. I'm glad I'm not the only one confused about Najaf

I just hope someone knows what's going on because the news makes absolutely no sense these days.

6. Confused - that was me all morning taking time to flip between

CPN - Corporate Propagana Networks.

My impression about news from Iraq is summed up by one of the CPNs who had a U.S. newsperson on the air REPORTING FROM IRAQ and their questions to this guy was all about Kerry and the Swift Boat vet attacks and who was telling the truth and what wasn't and what effect it would have.

Next in confusion was the Military guy talking about a trial outside the U.S. for the prison defendents and why they want it to be in Iraq, but might allow Germany and a bunch of other waffling propaganda stuff. Our constitution is being trashed.

Confusing is why any human being could work for the CPNS and sell their souls - I didn't hear one mention the Chicago columnist, Rood in regard to Kerry.
