Life continues to return to normal.
Of course... mere collateral damage. I don't think anyone in the upper ranks of the US leadership truly cares a second what goes on in Iraq.

Hmm. Flaming.

There were people around a burning APC. I'm sure the troops destroyed it before they left.

It was one of the heaviest barrages in the capital in months. "We've seen a tremendous increase in the number of attacks,"

Don't forget what that was firing on: an abandoned APC. The military was afraid that the gathering crowd would loot it. It'd be a cache of weapons conviniently left for all to grab.

Nothing either way has been "proven." Questions were brought up about the memo's authenticity. Those questions have been answered, prompting other questions.

If you're arguing about integrity, then you shouldn't jump on early accusations about possible forgery as truth either. Unless, of course, you only look at evidence that backs up what you already believe?

How lacking in intellectual integrity.

Hypothetically, if I brought up questions about there being possible beastiality involved in your ancestry, would that mean that it's been proven?
