The Vichy Iraqi puppet government lies even more than the
White House and US military. Did they learn how to lie from their
puppet masters?

US military denies Iraq re****t of al-Qaida arrest
By PATRICK QUINN, Associated Press Writer
BAGHDAD - The U.S. military on Friday denied Iraqi government claims that
the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq was captured and said a man with a similar
name had been arrested in the northern city of Mosul.
A
Iraqi authorities had announced Thursday that police commandos captured
Abu
Ayyub al-Masri in a raid in the northern city of Mosul.
"Neither coalition forces nor Iraqi security forces detained or killed Abu
Ayyub al-Masri. This guy had a similar name," said Maj. Peggy Kageleiry, a
U.S. military spokeswoman in northern Iraq. She said no additional details
were being immediately provided.
Iraqi Defense Ministry spokesman Mohammed al-Askari said the confusion
arose
because the commander of Iraqi forces in northern Ninevah province was
convinced that he had arrested al-Masri - also known as Abu Hamza
al-Muhajir.
"We called the commander of Ninevah operations 10 times and every time he
insisted it was Abu Hamza al-Muhajir because when they caught him, they
asked him whether his name was Abu Hamza al-Muhajir and he said yes,"
al-Askari told The Associated Press by phone.
He added that the commander repeatedly "insisted that it was him, how can
we
deny him then."
There had been false alarms in the past about al-Masri. At least twice -
in
2006 and May 2007 - re****ts circulated that he was dead, but they were
later
proved wrong.
