Wrong City, Wrong Province: No Problem


foxsnooze

The police station was in Hibhib.

Hibhib is not Baghdad. Baquba (or Baqouba) , the next-closest large city, is also is not Baghdad. Both are in Diyala Province, more than 30 miles north-northeast of Baghdad.

So how, precisely, is this a Baghdad police station?

Those multiple layers of fact checkers strike again...

1 Hibhib is 30 miles from the center of Baghdad. At least they got the "homicide bomber" part right.

2 But they got the information from Jamil Hussein, so it must be right.

4 Um . . . you're aware that headline would have been written by Fox News and not the Associated Press, right? You may have proved something here, but it's not what you intended....

5 The AP and Foxnews.com are left biased cesspools.

6 What, you mean you can't see Hibhib from the Al Rashid Hotel?

8 I doubt if Blowchimp gets the spelling of his own name right more than once every ten tries or so ...
