BOOOOOMMM!

When we were kids, we did a skit about a reporter who kept bringing news to the editor, only to be told the news was "old" and he had to bring in the report faster...so the reporter then came in yelling: Quick the factory just exploded...and when the editor asked "When did that happen", the reporter said, "Listen".....and then they heard a loud BOOOMMMM

When we were kids we thought it was hilareous...

I watched CNN International this morning for two minutes, and they were showing an Army guy explaining how the Marines clearing out the infiltration from Syria helped lower the number of car bombs...
CNNI then went on to mention, ah yes, but now the car bombs are hitting hotels with reporters and foreigners...and then stated showing a van pulling up near a hotel, while the reporter narrated, and here is a video that captures one such bomb....

Hmmmm...hello....unless it was a security camera, which it did not seem to be (e.g. the focus was good, and the view moved with the van), then it meant that someone was WAITING for the car to arrive, so he could take a video from a safe area...One: They knew about it in advance

Two: They filmed anyway, so CNNI and other news media could show the glamourous "insurgents"...

Am I paranoid? Well, no,

Yesterday was a terrible action by a suicide/homicide killer: Targeting children who were being given gifts by some US soldiers....

Most of the US press seemed to headline only "30 killed"....a few had "outside Hospital" in the headlines, but you had to dig deep to find it was children...Was this deliberate?

Well, thanks to Google, I checked headlines...most merely mentioned 30 killed, or the soldiers killed...
Some even combined the headline with "as soldiers celebrate holiday" or as US touts successes...The Beeb doesn't even mention the toys, instead saying they were targeting "Iraqi policemen at the hospital, and only mentioning the dead women and children in paragraph 9...

I take that back: The Chicago Tribune mentions it in a headline...Insurgent attacks kill 43, including kids and 2 GIs...

But most of the others don't...

Update:
Major K gives this information about those killed:
The reason those troops were at that hospital handing out candy is because several of their officers were inside doing an assessment of the hospital facilities so they could be refurbished and upgraded. Another crime punishable by death according to the arhabi
