Note: I have included 2 paragraphs and some headlines from the Report. It is a long Report.

The Iraqi Resistance Reports are compiled by non-western reporters on the ground in the locations mentioned, as opposed to US military approved reporters barricaded in a hotel in Baghdad, so it is not suitable for the news forum.

The reporters who file the Iraqi Resistance Reports do not even attend US military briefings. They are spread out all over Iraq in areas where it would be too dangerous to have a US military briefing.

...reporting from the Green Zone? I'm shocked! Shocked, I say!

In other news, the Palestine Hotel makes the best martini in Baghdad.... Testing.... Is this thing on...?

the US military just send the briefing to New York, or Chicago, and the reporters can rewrite it there.
