The withdrawal of foreign troops is the only solution

The media-hyped fiction of a handover of power in Iraq is designed for
US voters

Most legends contain a small grain of truth, but none is to be found
in the fraudulent images being presented each day by the BBC (and the
US networks). The print media is not much better. Official propaganda
is constantly repeated in sentences such as: "On June 28 the United
States and its coalition partners transferred sovereign control of
Iraq to an interim government headed by prime minister Ayad Allawi.
The transfer of sovereignty ended more than a year of American-led
occupation".
Meanwhile, US intelligence agencies admit that the size of the
resistance increases every day. If Moqtada al-Sadr were to be captured
or killed in the fighting taking place in Najaf, the steady trickle of
recruits could become a flood. In such a situation and with no
official opposition to the occupation in the Commons it should be the
responsibility of the media to ensure that some truth, at least, is
regularly reported.
