Mosul attack 'an inside job'
By Syed Saleem Shahzad

The deadly suicide attack on a US military base in Mosul this week was an "inside job" carried out by insurgents who are part of the Iraqi armed forces, Asia Times Online has been told.

Sources said a strong nexus between Iraqi forces and the resistance is what allowed them to carry out the most devastating attack on US troops since the beginning of the invasion. US forces have imposed a curfew in Mosul and have launched a military operation in the city, but, the sources say, this will have little effect on the problem, for the simple reason that the US-trained Iraqi military is heavily infected with people loyal to the resistance groups.

Responsibility for the suicide bombing in the US mess tent was claimed by Islamist resistance organization Jaish Ansar al-Sunnah (JAAS).

While various analysts ponder the insurgents' strategy in the lead up to next month's elections, and opine that their primary goal is to disrupt those elections, the resistance says it has a different agenda. In a message to Asia Times Online from the Netherlands, Nada al-Rubaiee, a member of the central committee of the Iraqi Patriotic Alliance, a group that is part of the Iraqi national resistance movement both inside and outside Iraq, said, "Everything in the resistance movement is clear ... There is agreement on one issue; that is, getting freedom from foreign occupying forces and their handymen. It is agreed that only Iraqi people would decide the course of government in the post-liberation era."

1. NO this can't be true can it?

NO WAY.

This can't be...

An Inside Job?

Why that would suggest that they don't want democracy!

And WE ALL KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!!

These evildoers commit these crimes because they hate us for our freedoms!

Doesn't everybody know that?

This was probably reported by some "liberal" journalist in some "liberal" newspaper like the LA Times.

Fucking war criminals.
The monkey should be in handcuffs.

2. I remember some General (they're all interchangeable now)

saying it HAD to be a conspiracy. Evidently lone nuts are only allowed to attack targets of the highest importance, like Presidents and MLK.

Pity no American paper dares to tell the truth like the Asian Times anymore!
