Notice that Mr. Lekic want to make sure that we are not misled by the "insistance" of the senior U. S. official. AP is supposed to be a news agency and insists that it is "neutral" in its "reporting" but it is really a propaganda agency for liberal idiology, and let the nation go to the dogs.

Excite News: "By SLOBODAN LEKIC BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - A senior U.S. official insisted on Saturday that the U.S. military has the upper hand in the escalating war in Iraq, on a day when two paratroopers died in a roadside ambush and the international Red Cross said it was closing two main offices due to deteriorating security."
