The fiction of civilian casualties in Iraq

This story from al Jazeera reveals the hypocracy of the civilian casualty claim:

US jets struck al-Bufarraj and Sufiya areas in Ramadi city at around 7.30am (0430 GMT) on Thursday, wounding an unknown number of civilians, independent Iraqi journalist Muhammad Hassan said.

Fierce clashes erupted following the raids in the eastern gate of Ramadi, near the US military headquarters and in the big mosque area in the city centre.

If you marinate the two paragraphs for a minute, they seem to suggest that the peaceful civilians were atacked and almost immediately "Fierce clashes erupted." What you have here is a clash of logic. Because the enemy camoflages himself as a civilian, all enemy casualties are described as civilian by those supporting the enemy like al Jazeera. However, because the enemy wants to be seen as a fierce fighter it is required that his actions be described as "fierce clases erupted, etc."

In just those two paragraphs al Jazeera confirms that it is a propaganda vehicle for the enemy in Iraq. (Hat tip, Bill Roggio.)
