According to a media report received in last week of June 2006 The U.S. is expected to use the killing of two American soldiers who went missing in Iraq for three days with their bodies found bearing signs of "barbaric" torture to justify and step up its daily slaughtering of Iraqis, stated an editorial on Uruknet.info.

Even before those soldiers went missing and before knowing that they were killed by what the U.S. claims gangs linked to Al Qaeda network, the Bush administration and the Pentagon were already carrying out new military operations that included a noticeable escalation of violence in the occupied Iraqi territories.

An internet statement by a notorious group was immediately released following news of the two soldiers’ death, promoting anger and revengeful feelings over the brutal killing of the two soldiers.

The internet statement, which came as a reminder that although the alleged Al Qaeda leader in Iraq, Abu Mus’ab Al Zarqawi, was killed, the threat posed by this terror network remains, said that the new leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq "slit the throats" of the two men.

"God Almighty has graced the leader Abu Hamza al-Muhajir ... with the implementation of the sentence," said the statement, the authenticity of which seemed questionable.

Such dubious claim provided a personification of evil for mass consumption, to prepare the American people for the slaughter machine that will run active, and the atrocities that will be carried out against the Iraqis the coming weeks.

Targeting occupation troops is an expected product of every war fought in the history of mankind, however, the U.S. media felt a duty to proclaim the "barbaric" and "savage" character of the killing of the two soldiers, announcing their death using words never applied to the torture and death of many Iraqis who were subject to the abusive interrogation tactics of the U.S. military at Abu Ghraib and other U.S.–run jails in and outside Iraq.

How many times have we heard about the slaughter of men, women and children by 500-pound bombs the U.S. forces dropped on their homes? How many incidents involving the indiscriminate killing of civilians in the name of "force protection" took place in Iraq since the war was launched more than three years ago? And yet those atrocities never received the same outcry sparked by the death of the two American soldiers.

Recent developments in Iraq, killing Al Zarqawi and one of his aides, then the “brutal killing of those two American soldiers, and the massive military operation by the U.S. and Iraqi forces in the city of Ramadi, recall what happened in Fallujah in the run up to November offensive in 2004.

The massive offensive the U.S. carried out in the Iraqi city of Fallujah in 2004, where thousands of people were killed, more than 1 600 detained, and thousands of families made homeless, followed the killing of four military contractors who came under attack while driving through the Iraqi city.

Ramadi resident had been forced to stay in their homes, after warplanes and attack helicopters started flying continuously over the city over the past few days, dropping bombs, and cutting off residents of basic services such as electricity, water and emergency medical care..

Also all roads in and out of Ramadi were sealed off.
