Areas of Baghdad fall to militias as Iraqi Army falters in Basra
Times Online
March 27, 2008
"In Baghdad, thick black smoke hung over the city centre tonight and gunfire echoed across the city.
The most secure area of the capital, Karrada, was placed under curfew amid fears the Mahdi Army of Hojetoleslam Moqtada al-Sadr could launch an assault on the residence of Abdelaziz al-Hakim, the head of a powerful rival Shia governing party.
While the Mahdi Army has not officially renounced its six-month ceasefire, which has been a key component in the recent security gains, on the ground its fighters were chasing police and soldiers from their positions across Baghdad.
Rockets from Sadr City slammed into the governmental Green Zone compound in the city centre, killing one person and wounding several more.
Saboteurs also blew up one of Iraq's two main oil pipelines from Basra, cutting at least a third of the exports from the city which provides 80 per cent of government revenue, a clear sign that the militias — who siphon significant sums off the oil smuggling trade — would not stop at mere insurrection."

Didn't Ron Paul mention that
Once the Mahdi Army ended their cease fire, the violence would start again ? I wish we could find that clip.
Looks like the SURGE is working........

And..
.. the economy is healthy to boot! The continuous stream of new fresh tasty cash is pumping us all up!
=P~
could this be the end of the
could this be the end of the neo-cons dream?
maybe soon the city will be surrounded and the soldiers will be air lifted out. the whole plan of controlling afganistan, iraq and (soon) iran for their pipeline and general oil control will have to be scrapped.
as america will then have vertually zero control of middle eastern oil (even saudi is getting pissed of and showing signs of disobedience to their US masters), the dollar will no longer be backed by oil. it will be worth nothing. mass chaos will engulf the US leaving brother to kill brother for a grain of overcooked rice.
Or just the beginning..
.. they are blaming it on Iran...
Unfortunately they will most
Unfortunately they will most likely send our guys in to supposedly restore order or some other BS propagandistic word and we will lose more of our finest in some god forsaken civil war we have no business in.

If we attack Iran..
.. we could lose several times many more soldiers in a few days than we've lost total so far in Iraq.

When the militias finally
When the militias finally take over Baghdad and the last American troops are either fleeing or circling the wagons in the Green Zone, I hope McCain will be there to stand in for that Iraqi Minister of Propaganda and keep telling us "All is well .... We are winning .... the Surge is working .... All is well ..... We are winning ..... " (keep repeating until blown up).
I thought the surge was working
I thought we were told the surge was working. I guess it will take another 4-5 years before we see progress (whatever that is suppose to mean while were in Iraq).

Thanks for these sites
All so good especially the liberty post!
The only effective surge I
The only effective surge I have seen is in the veins in McCain's forehead every time he is forced to attempt to answer a policy question by himself.
Hillary will fly in......
And win the battle. Hows that surge working out.
sniper hunting
I wouldn't want to be left holding that old bag.
"So?,"
said the fat bald politican to the American people. "There has been a vast improvement in Iraq. That's a HUGE accomplishment."

Kinda sickening isn't it?

I simply cannot imagine how anyone can live any kind of life in that benighted city, or country, thanks to our "benevolent" intervention.
Damn Bush and his neocon cabal! I hope a special corner of Hell has been reserved just for them.
Wonder how long..
.. before US forces are being airlifted out from roof-tops with helicopters... deja vu...
Or, if this will be used as the excuse to attack Iran. Yesterday US officials began saying they had evidence that Iran was behind the new violence...
