The Iraqi Army is conducting operations in Mosul, a fact which the American media has failed to communicate. The above photo shows an Iraqi army soldier manning a machine gun in Mosul, while other Iraqi soldiers searched nearby homes for weapons caches. (photo credit: Sgt. Patrick Lair, 115th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment.) Notice the Humvee in the picture. Readers of this blog might remember this post from January, where I noted 4,200 Humvees were being transferred to Iraqi forces.Doesn't McClatchy have a bureau in Baghdad? Why can't McClatchy give readers news like this?
