BAGHDAD, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Iraq's government on Wednesday accused Al Jazeera television, which it kicked out of the country two years ago, of helping to "spread death and destruction" in its reporting.

The cabinet called on parliament to take legal action against the pan-Arab Qatar-based satellite channel that has angered the Shi'ite-led government with its Iraq coverage.

"Al Jazeera continues to have a publicly shameless stand against the Iraqi people and to contribute in spreading death and destruction in Iraq," the cabinet said.

Al Jazeera said the statement was "unjustified, baseless and ridiculous". "What did we do, nothing?" said Ahmed Sheikh, the editor-in-chief of Al Jazeera's Arabic service.

"The Iraqi government is looking for a scapegoat to justify their failure in bringing security and stability to Iraqis."

1. Saddam H. kicked out al Jazeera more than once in the past. In fact

al Jazeera has been kicked out of several countries for slamming the hometown regime.

2. Sure it kicks out the reporters

The US propaganda office, the Lincoln Group, isn't making much headway with its propaganda when al Jazeera is out there spreading the truth.

3. al Jazeera's truth isn't given any play by our MSM

al Jazeera sits on an archive of videos,stil shots and statements made by suicide bombers. Sort of their last will and testimony. If their exit from this world is extra spectacular,
they get their own baseball like - trading card put into circulation at a substantial markup. Not to mention the "Jihadi's gone wild" videos selling in middle eastern markets. That is al Jazeera truth also.
