Clearly The Marines Are Now Distributing Enemy Propaganda

We liberated Iraq so they could do some ethnic cleansing.
The U.S. military is no longer able to defeat a bloody insurgency in western Iraq or counter al-Qaeda’s rising popularity there, according to newly disclosed details from a classified Marine Corps intelligence report that set off debate in recent months about the military’s mission in Anbar province.
The Marines recently filed an updated version of that assessment that stood by its conclusions and stated that as of mid-November, the problems in troubled Anbar province have not improved, a senior U.S. intelligence official said yesterday. "The fundamental questions of lack of control, growth of the insurgency and criminality" remain the same, the official said.
The Marines’ August memo, a copy of which was shared with The Washington Post, is far bleaker than some officials suggested when they described it in late summer. The report describes Iraq’s Sunni minority as "embroiled in a daily fight for survival," fearful of "pogroms" by the Shiite majority and increasingly dependent on al-Qaeda in Iraq as its only hope against growing Iranian dominance across the capital.
The crack about the marines, of course, is a dig at the conservatives (especially on the blogs) attributing every negative news story about Iraq to devious terrorist propaganda working side-by-side with the dreaded MSM. It’s a defensive mechanism they use like when kids close their eyes and pretend away things.
See here for an example of Michelle Malkin doing her damnedst to prove that a guy with a website and the military’s PR arm are like the word of God himself (when they’re Republicans).

Not that the story’s clear as to which one it’s referring to, but a United Nations peacekeeping force is not the same as the ocuccupying Coalition force.
