Bomb attacks near mosques break peace in Baghdad

For U.S. troops and Iraqi civilians, this has been one of the least deadly months since the war in Iraq began six years ago. In fact, a senior U.S. military officer has broken ranks with his superiors and U.S. President Barack Obama, saying its time for the U.S. to declare victory in Iraq and go home.

But then there are days like Friday, when a series of bombs exploded near five Shiite mosques in Baghdad, killing at least 29 people and shattering the perception, at least for now, that Iraq is a much safer place than it used to be.

Michael Wahid Hanna, a fellow at the Century Foundation, joins Martin Savidge to discuss the attacks and U.S. troop withdrawals.

Small percentage of Muslim population drunk on blood and hate, supported the larger percentage that is either complicit or impotent.  The story and tragedy of the 21st century.

Ok. Let me see if I've got it. The Jews hijack the world to establish Israel, but in fact, they aren't Semitic at all.

Then, by treaty, they move into a country they never saw before, start killing the natives and blame the whole thing on them.

They manage to control all the money in the West, the primary religion of the West, and the main secret societies of social structure.

But they are the victims.

Got it.
