in a perfect world, 'grey's anatomy' would have long ago dumped the hideous 'meredith grey' and the tired ass ellen pompeo who plays her to make jesse's jackson avery the main character.

he's still sexy. i can't think of a movie he's done lately that i've just had to see but he's still sexy. in the end, it may turn out that his sexiest film will always be 'brokeback mountain' - and (stuart smiley voice) that's ok.

And peace is long overdue in Iraq.
But Friday saw more bombings including in Baghdad:
- Blasts hit a market in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, with reports of people killed or injured
BBC Breaking News
The Associated Press
BREAKING: Iraqi police and medical officials: 2 bombs strike central Baghdad market, killing at least 21 and wounding 44.
Iraqi Day In other violence, the US government continued bombing Iraq.
Friday, DoD announced:
Strikes in Iraq
Attack, bomber, fighter, rotary and remotely piloted aircraft, as well as rocket artillery, conducted eight strikes in Iraq, coordinated with and in support of Iraq’s government:
-- Near Huwayjah, a strike engaged an ISIL tactical unit and destroyed an ISIL-held building.
-- Near Qaim, three strikes destroyed a vehicle bomb-making facility, a bomb factory and an ISIL-held building.
-- Near Mosul, four strikes engaged an ISIL tactical unit, destroying 11 ISIL-held buildings, five supply caches, three tactical vehicles, two mortar systems, two fighting positions, two vehicle bombs, a tunnel, an observation post, a research lab, a command-and-control node, an up-armored vehicle bomb, two barges and two artillery pieces. Five mortar teams were suppressed, and 20 supply routes and two repeater towers were damaged.
Task force officials define a strike as one or more kinetic events that occur in roughly the same geographic location to produce a single, sometimes cumulative, effect. Therefore, officials explained, a single aircraft delivering a single weapon against a lone ISIL vehicle is one strike, but so is multiple aircraft delivering dozens of weapons against buildings, vehicles and weapon systems in a compound, for example, having the cumulative effect of making those targets harder or impossible for ISIL to use. Accordingly, officials said, they do not report the number or type of aircraft employed in a strike, the number of munitions dropped in each strike, or the number of individual munition impact points against a target. Ground-based artillery fired in counterfire or in fire support to maneuver roles is not classified as a strike.
Today, they announced:

Bombs dropped on Iraq.
And the US media doesn't see it as a crime.
Not even when it's a War Crime.

That bombing?
They're talk the US bombing.
We covered it in Friday's snapshot:
Operation Inherent Resolve (also known as Operation Eternal Redundancy) issued the following statement today:
Coalition strike results in possible civilian casualties
By
| Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve | December 30, 2016
CJTF-OIR takes all allegations of civilian casualties seriously and this incident will be fully investigated and the findings released in a timely and transparent manner.
CJTF-OIR releases monthly reports covering our tracking and investigation of allegations of civilian casualties. Coalition forces comply with the Law of Armed Conflict, work diligently to be precise in our airstrikes, and take all feasible precautions during the planning and execution of airstrikes to reduce the risk of harm to civilians.
.
This wasn't even the first time this month that the US had bombed civilians in Iraq -- check out the December 8th snapshot for more on the previously admitted by CENTCOM of bombing civilians.
MIDDLE EAST ONLINE notes:
[T]he coalition has already admitted to killing at least 173
civilians in its strikes in Iraq and Syria since the start of its
campaign against the IS group, a number independent observers believe is
greatly understated.
The London-based NGO Airwars estimates the coalition campaign has actually killed more than 2,000 civilians.
But let's all pretend it didn't happen?
Is that the way it plays?
MSNBC talk show host posing as journalist Joy Reid didn't have a word to say about it.
But she's too busy screeching mental tantrums/breakdowns so why is that so surprising?
It is surprising that so-called peace activist in the US didn't give a damn about the bombing.
But I think they're all waiting until Donald Trump's inauguration to come out of their eight-year hibernation.

by Shia militias backed by Iran
AFP reports:
Shawqi, 43, is employed by Asharq al-Awsat, a London-based pan-Arab newspaper, as well as a number of news websites including Aklaam.
"The real scandal is that gunmen were easily able to enter a woman's home and abduct her," said Dhikra Sarsam, another protester.
"The interior ministry has said absolutely nothing about the circumstances of her abduction."
