But enough of the family fun, the date 21 July is the 'Opera 5' date to the next and eight Military Bloody Day on 26 July. The 'official reason' for MBD nr. 8 on 26 July is the fact that originally on 26 July the final 9/11 report upon the attacks in America would come out. A few days back it came to my attention that the 26 July date was changed to this week but I did not care much.
The 'official reason' is the fact that after my humble opinion there were a few 'minor faults' in that report, therefore I found wisdom in reciting for the deaths of a few more US soldiers. The US army is not allowed to complain upon this because most Americans prefer a so called 'military solution' towards their little terror problems, so they must not complain if they only get what they ask for... 

While still on holiday I found out that on Wednesday 21 July the US army did use air power in the form of Apache attack helicopters. American Media files said later that 25 insurgents were killed and 25 captured while there were two deaths on the side of the US army. How real is that? Lets turn to the Media report that gives quite different numbers on the 21 July date and in the comment upon those quotes I will try to explain that both reports could be 'true' at the same time. Here we go:

To make it clear to the readers that the American Media files are also often not telling the simple truth as it is we take a fine look at that pearl of the 'free press' in America. We take a look at the Washington Post that also covers lots of aspects around the war in Iraq, the file I have the picture below from is called Faces of the Fallen. And this Fallen Faces file contains lots of military information, look for example to the previous Military Bloody Day on 29 April this spring. But the Pentagon planners do not grasp that information and the US army keeps on collecting detainees to find out who is 'calling for the shots' in Iraq.  

 Title: Washington Post employees, where are your loyalties???
  

Let me explain a bit more around the picture above: On 26 July 2003 three US soldiers died in one attack, it was just a handgrenade thrown at them and the soldiers were unlucky that day. You see that on 26 July there is no red stripe underneath the three soldiers in question, in the course of many months since July 2003 there have been much more 'mistakes' made on this page. After some emailing from me to the Washington Post they corrected the fault from 18 September 2003. (That was the first Military Bloody Day you know, so that was important for me to communicate this with the local authorities.) 
The other faults from that tabblade are not that important right now, right now it is only important that the next and 8th MBD will have some success while it is clear that also when lots of success is there the American Media files will still continue to withheld the simple truth as it is. 

All I hope right now (25 July) is that the US army will take it's responsibility tomorrow and we can avoid the need to kill all those hostages in Iraq. So again my dear US army, no air power allowed, no 500 pounders and no 2000 pounders, no AC-130 gunship and only little Abrams tank stuff. And please do not play it the American way by later remarking that I did not mention 1500 pounders Mark-77 firebombs!
So it is soldier to soldier and platoon to platoon my dear and mighty US army, it you fight too asymmetric and you linger on the axiom of 'overwhelming force' too much you might regret this in the future. So take your responsibility! Greetings from this armchair general.  

 Title: Come on America, if you can be great on Mars you can be great on earth.
    

Below you can read a bit of Media reporting, this time around the problems of the number of people that died while in custody of the US army and why I will only start making complaints at the operatives address if they exceed the '400 executed' number.

Life is simple on this one; when America really is the 'world leader' she must not complain when I follow her down the ladder of low battlefield conduct. No my dear Pentagon you can not complain that I will come after you in strange ways. So here is the Media report: 

 Title: Come on America, if you can be great on Mars you can be great on the 26th.
          

More on this in the Media report below, at first there is another remark to be made around a US company under the name of Nour USA (Vienna, Virginia, USA). Let this company be a target for exactly 6 (solar calendar) months, with the word 'target' I mean that anything goes. From bombs to sniperings to attacks from hedge funds;
Nour USA has foundations in Iraq, Jordan and the USA. In case you are interested why this particular company has my specific interest (all other US defense civil industry has my interest too of course) you can read the next quotes:

On February 2, 2004 it was announced that Nour USA, Vienna, Virginia, U.S.A., (a firm which along with other U.S., Polish and Iraqi firms comprises the DES Group) was awarded a $327,485,798 firm fixed price indefinite-delivery/indefinite quantity contract to procure equipment for the Iraqi Armed Forces and the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps.

In Iraq only about one hundred Nour USA employees are walking around, so they are a very rare kind of species to catch. So it's very difficult for the average Iraqi to attack those folks but may be the hedge funds are willing to help the story a bit too. (Yes hedge funds, the Nour USA folks did forget that there are some new military axioms at the scene so it would be fun if they burn their fingers a little bit on this big big contract sized at $327,485,798 fixed price...) The website is named nourusa dot com but it doesn't contain much information, the operatives have to be lucky on that one. 

Now the Media report:

Today I took some time to remember those who died today, just some time to remember them. No US soldiers dead today and there is only one four letter word for this and that four letter word is 'shit'.
Of course reality obliges me to say that it could very well be that on the 8th MBD, that on the 8th Military Bloody Day the Pentagon finally anticipated a bit more and indeed succeeded into avoiding casualties on their behalf...

This could very well be, the Media outlets do not tell if there were less military patrols today, they don't tell. 

But the day isn't over yet, may be tomorrow there will be more news to read. Also lets not forget that indeed this day no US airpower whatsoever was observed, therefore it looks reasonable to request at that group that has all those truck drivers to release them. (But that group had some wishes to be fulfilled themselves so they must make up their own mind on this one.)

__________________________

At last a simple message to the Fallujah readers (although I doubt they have much internet there around). It is around the 31 March barbeque of those four Blackwater employees, those four mercenaries carrying a gun while being 'a civil contractor' at the same time. 

My dear Fallujah people, you know the American military can be so funny. Just so funny, they let run around dozens of 'civil soldiers' while there is nothing in the Geneva conventions upon making war that covers that particular problem of the 'civil soldier'. The Americans are very funny with that...
So it could very well be that the treatment of the four Blackwater mercenaries are in fact no war crimes (according to the letter of the Geneva convention laws) but after my humble opinion it was a bit overdone. You know my dear Fallujah people, the Western societies can not take pictures like that on the evening news on the television. They will start acting strange... (The fact that many thousands of former Iraqi soldiers did get the same kind of burning wounds in for example the 'road of death' that ended Gulf War I is not relevant to Western societies, those pictures were not on the evening news you know.)
So try to keep on killing Americans please, just please. I beg you to keep on killing those Slimy Worms that do not understand how to make war while having the biggest military on this planet. Now for the simple message: 

 Title: My dear Fallujahns, the timing of the Blackwater bridge barbeque was not
 that handy all in all. It just wasn't. 
        

Well, what is this 'hot potato'? Very simple my dear American friends, have you ever heard of a guy named Khomeiny? Now did you? In case you didn't, Khomeiny had a bit to do with the wiping out of the American puppet dictator in Iran. Khomeiny had a bit to do with the destruction of that former shah regime that was 'US backed' as the saying goes. 
Well the Shia part of Islam might be very different from the Sunni part, but there were thousands and thousands who imitated this Khomeiny figure in all ways possible. This is what we call a 'role model' and this is not particular an Islam thing but a human thing, in Western society it also of often observed that lots of people try to look like their 'role modols' but in Islamic society it sometimes is even more hefty. 
(Remark: It could very well be that the fact that the Prophet Mohammed could not read and write did contribute to this particular behavior of Islamic societies, I have always considered it as a pity that he could not write. On the other hand it is very well possible that in case Mohammed could read and write, there simply would be no Islam today!)

The Khomeiny figure was imitated in many ways possible; eating and sleeping habits, the way he looked and dressed and so on and so on. On this particular characteristic of the Islamic societies that final 9/11/2001 report simply gives no answer. Did the 19 operatives have some role model yes or no? After almost 3 years I still think they did have some 'role model', I think it is a bit waste of human lives that the Western societies are not looking into this little detail of the war on terror.
Simply because the next attack on America will be much bigger. And in case the 'role model' is really true, may be this 'role model' might be capable of preventing the next attack. But I also think that this hypothetical role model will say 'No way, never I will prevent that, no way.' 

Lets look into a very limited number of details at this in the Media report to this day: 

To make sure we can sew a bit of sand in the eyes of the enemy I just have to avoid sharing all those insights I get from reading that 9/11 report, sorry folks! Therefore we take a fine look at the deepest insights and works of internet gossip journalist Matt Drudge! The gossip journalist did discover a hefty controversy around the Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry! This all looks very dangerous for that lefty asshole Kerry because when the gossip journalist Matt Drudge from the Drudge report makes a discovery the whole world is shaked! Just like when this gossip journalist in the far past reported the sex adventures of the former Democratic president Mr. Clinton! Yes, the gossip journalist Matt Drudge has made wonderful contributions to humankind, lets enjoy the hefty reporting of gossip journalist Matt Drudge from the Drudge report in the next: 

 Title: My dear gossip journalist Matt Drudge, is this the next US president???
        

In another development to put attention there where it is needed we can look at another fine discovery of American society, may be gossip journalist Matt Drudge can write one of his **World Exclusives** upon this phenomenal device. This wonderful device is called the 'pussy snorkel' and to all those who are living in the American landscape it is instantly clear that this device can only be invented by some lefty assholes. Decent people like conservatives would never think of such a device, they just wouldn't do that or not my dear gossip journalist Matt Drudge? 

So be prepared for one of the finest inventions from the American landscape, the pussy snorkel! A wonderful device, you don't even need to use those big cigars for it and you can even use it under water! A wonderful device my dear gossip journalist Matt Drudge, a very handy thing for all new US-led presidents! Life is a miracle and I know lots of things but the space shuttle is nothing compared to the US-patented pussy snorkel! Here we proceed with luring attention away from that mighty 9/11 report:

 Title: All US-led presidents must use a pussy snorkel and not a Cuban cigar! 
        

End to the writings of this day, till updates my dear readers... 
Live well and kill well (especially US soldiers of course.) 

I don't. So with pride in my heart the Americans succeeded in raising the possibility of so called 'terror attacks' in other countries. That is their game you know, it is better to fight the war on terror in Iraq (their president has stated that often). It is better to fight it in Iraq then in Ohio, that kind of statements are often made by high ranking American government officials.
Also I am sometimes under the impression that every time a big bomb explodes outside America they give a big 'thumbs up' to one another while their president in the meantime is making phonecalls to make sure that the country under attack will side with the USA... Anyway that is the way it works in practice, may be in the White House they are even concerned about the loss of human lives, may be... 

So beside the fact that the NATO has some 'leadership role' into the Afghan landscape, they will now 'train' the Iraqi security forces (as backed by the present Iraqi government that is backed by America). 

NATO NATO, what did you forget? Now I'll wipe you out & that's a fact!
       

So NATO headquarters, what is happening here? What is happening at your headquarters and what will be happening in Iraq! You can choose from the next 3 options:

Of course the smart asses from NATO headquarters are quite capable of thinking of lots of other 'options' involved. One could fly in the Kurdish equation in this all, will there be a Kurdistan yes or no and how will this influence the rest of the set of realistic options?
After my humble opinion Option 3 mentioned above is not completely from planet Mars, this combined with the fact that the Kurds have some 'historical rights' too... 

__________________________

At the end of this part I will give the NATO some marching orders, they are found in the next words:

NATO provides peace and security for all of it's members, really true!
       

NATO NATO, what did you forget? Now I'll kiss you with love & that's a fact!
