Iraq dictatorship uses live bullets at protests, 19 killed --Security forces used tear gas, water cannons, sound bombs, and live bullets to disperse crowd. 25 Feb 2011 At least 19 people were killed in Iraq on Friday as tens of thousands defied an official curfew to join a nationwide "Day of Rage," echoing protests that have roiled the Middle East and North Africa since January. Protesters expressed anger and rage at local leaders as well as at US-installed Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, storming provincial government offices in several cities and calling for more jobs, electricity and clean water, better pensions and medical care. [Gee, I wonder where the US-installed Exxon-BP-Monsanto dictatorship in Iraq procured *sound bombs* to use on demonstrators? Hmm... So: There's no money for al-Maliki to get the electricity running, but there's money to buy sound bombs? Hopefully, the protesters will overthrow the US-installed dictatorship in Iraq and nationalize the oil industry, as in the days of Saddam Hussein.That's why the USociopaths invaded: they couldn't stand the fact that the Iraqi people benefited from the oil and Bush-Cheney wanted it for their corpora-terrorist overlords. --LRP]
