Connect the dots so to speak,,,, One would respect this organisation if it displayed the same 'gusto' for the troubles in the south. Sadly it doesnt.

Informed Comment Thoughts on the Middle East, History, and Religion Juan Cole is President of the Global Americana Institute Thursday, April 19, 2007 Bloody Wednesday: Guerrillas, Violence kill Nearly 300 Iraqis Well I guess those Baghdad markets aren't as safe as Senator John McCain thought. And, they look remarkably unlike small town Indiana this morning, contrary to what Congressman Mike Pence alleged a couple of weeks ago. The thing about reality and politics is that sooner or later, reality outstrips rhetoric, and then the politics is revealed for the lie it is. The silly allegation that the guerrillas are only artificially making it look like the surge is falling is another piece of fluffy illogic. Define "success" for the surge, and then measure reality against it. You could say that it is still early to make a judgment. You can't say that there is no evidence after 6 weeks for whether progress is being made. In that regard, the answer is clearly a resounding "No." Nearly 300 persons were killed or found dead in Iraq on Wednesday and hundreds were wounded. Al-Hayat writes in Arabic that the smell of blood and gunpowder wafted through Baghdad on Wednesday In the capital alone, Sunni Arab guerrillas carried out five horrific bombings in Shiite neighborhoods that, with some mortar attacks and shootings, killed around 200 persons and wounded many more. The morning began with a guerrilla bombing of a police checkpoint at the gate to the Shiite slum of Sadr City, which killed 41. Then the terrorists opened the gates of hell, carefully placing high explosives in a Shiite market and detonating them as workers gathered to take minibuses home after a hard day's work. The blast incinerated or tore apart some 140 persons and injured 150 more, according to Reuters. Al-Hayat says: "Eyewitnesses said that furious citizens, who busied themselves with collecting bodies charred by the horrific explosion and gathering body parts spread over an area of fifty years, threw stones and the rubble produced by the explosion at a joint American/ Iraqi force that came to the market, forcing it to withdraw before this demonstration of popular rage." Peddlers in the market put their wooden trolleys to work as ambulances for the wounded. There were reports of children being pulled alive from beneath the charred corpses of their relatives. Later on, the guerrillas set off two smaller bombs, killing even more Iraqis. Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki ordered the arrest of the colonel in charge of security for the Sadriya Market. (That may make him feel good, but surely is bad for morale in the officer corps of the new army. Reprimanding or demoting him would make sense, but arresting him? Who would want to serve under such circumstances?) Police also found 25 corpses in the streets of Baghdad, victims of death squads and torture. In Ramadi, authorities found 25 more decomposing bodies on Wednesday (they had found 17 the day before). In Mosul, police found 9 bodies. Al-Sharq al-Awsat reports in Arabic that the Baghdad coroner's office is reporting a significant uptick in the number of unidentified corpses coming into the Baghdad morgue, especially from the (Sunni) Karkh area. This trend is a reversal of the lower numbers of corpses being found daily in February and March. http://www.juancole.com/2007/04/bloody-wednesday-guerrillas-violence.html

Waa runta, anyone who turns to their concience and finds it should be applauded.

I just hope she finally realises her position is/was untenable.

I'm just pointing out that the shelling wasn't indiscriminate. Now where in that sentence did I justify the bombing/shelling of these areas? 1) Many reports stated that it was indeed indescriminate shelling of populated areas. 2) By going against the many reports and with your above statement, you are justifying it. If i'm wrong do expand.

So now you don't support the Xabashis and you don't support the justified resistance. Hmmmm, great logic.

^^I'm aware of that saxib. But as i said, its out of control now. Everyday, first thing i hear about death in Iraq. Iragiyinta wa la kala saarey (Sunni/Shia) and now they are both armed and very dangerous.

If you think resistance was justified, why the pro Xabashi stance all along?

Violet, do you really believe what you say? Being told or not does not matter as their properties are being bombed regardless of if they are their or not. Or is it ok to bomb one's property? with ample warning of course :rolleyes: Theiry, well said.

Moqtada Al Sadr pulled his Shia politicians out of the cabinet. Hold your breaths for what might come,,,,,

Violet Resistance/opposition to this government is justified Are you OK? :confused:

This is not the US. Its obviouse. Saudi Arabia/Jordan/Egypt vs Iran through financing and arming the malitias. The US and Brits have been simply allowing it to happen (they may be arming both sides aswell). It is now out of 'control' hence the latest security measures. This is the secondary war in Iraq. Its Sunni vs Shia however much we trie to avoid saying it. What is it achieving? Its for the control of Iraq. For so long in the hands of a Sunni leader it is on the verge of being 'lost' to the Persians/Syrians.

lol@kings of stamford bridge. are we supposed to be scared or something? Stamford Bridge vs Anfield. Lets wait and see how things go IA.

Drive to remove 'immoral posters' from video shops By Habib Toumi, Bureau Chief Manama: Days after it banned the sale of lottery tickets, the municipality of Muharraq has launched a campaign to remove all posters and pictures, mainly from video shops, that it deemed provocative and offensive to public morals. The latest decision is regarded as a consolidation of the rising power of Islamists in Bahrain's second largest city and which was for decades the bastion of pan-Arabism. "We want to make sure that the bans are fully implemented to ensure compliance with the decisions to eliminate disguised gambling and remove posters and illustrations that flout our morals and ethics," Mohammad Hamada, mayor of Muharraq, said on Tuesday as he toured the city to monitor the situation. Tradition of liberalism The island of Muharraq is home to a Salafi movement, Al Asala, and the Muslim Brotherhood political group Islamic Menbar. The two societies dominate Bahrain's Sunni political scene and have 13 deputies in the 40-member Council of Representatives, elected last November and December. Other political societies, although possessing a rich history of liberalism and strong trade unionism traditions, have failed to compete with the rising religious tendencies in the city, particularly in the 2006 elections. 'Imposing austerity' The overwhelming show by Islamists in the parliamentary and municipal elections has sparked concerns that they would seek to impose a more austere way of life on Bahrain's liberal society. Last month, the lower house endorsed a motion to ban men from selling lingerie in all shops. In 2004, hundreds of protestors led by Islamists in Muharraq forced Saudi TV channel MBC to suspend the filming of its version of the reality television show Big Brother in a purpose-built house on the island. gulfnews.com

should be a good finish. so as the aussie dont win it,,,

Street turns into 'swimming pool of blood' Reuters Baghdad: Car bombs killed nearly 200 people in Baghdad yesterday in the deadliest attacks in the city since US and Iraqi forces launched a security crackdown aimed at halting the country's slide into civil war. One car bomb near a market in the mainly Shi'ite Muslim Sadriya district killed 140 people and wounded 150, police said. "The street was transformed into a swimming pool of blood," Ahmad Hamid, a shopkeeper near the scene, said. Wednesday's attacks killed a total of 191 people and wounded 250, police said. Witnesses said many of the dead were women and children. The apparently coordinated attacks - there were five within a short space of time - occurred hours after Shiite Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki said Iraq would take security control of the whole country from foreign forces by the end of the year. Al Maliki is under growing pressure to say when foreign soldiers will leave, but the attacks in mainly Shiite areas of Baghdad underscored the huge challenges for Iraq's security forces in taking charge of overall security from more than 150,000 US and British troops. "I saw dozens of dead bodies. Some people were burned alive inside minibuses. Nobody could reach them after the explosion," said a Reuters witness at Sadriya, describing scenes of mayhem at an intersection where the bomb exploded near a market. "Women were screaming and shouting for their loved ones who died," said the witness who did not wish to be identified, adding many of the dead were women and children. One man waving his arms in the air screamed hysterically: "Where's Maliki? Let him come and see what is happening here." US and Iraqi forces began deploying thousands more troops onto Baghdad's streets in February. Sectarian death squad killings have declined, but car bombs are much harder to stop, US military officials say. The bombings could inflame sectarian passions in Baghdad, especially among the Mehdi Army militia of anti-American Shiite cleric Moqtada Al Sadr, which has kept a low profile so far during the two-month-old Baghdad security offensive. Al Qaida is blamed for most of the major bombings targeting Shiites in Iraq and there are fears the Mehdi Army may take to the streets to retaliate. Epicentre of violence The attacks came several hours after Al Maliki again appealed for reconciliation between majority Shiites and once-dominant minority Sunni Arabs who form the backbone of the insurgency. "There is no magic solution to put out the fire of sectarian sedition that some are trying to set up, especially Al Qaida," Al Maliki said in a speech made on his behalf before the attacks. Among the other attacks yesterday, police said a suicide car bomber killed 35 people at a checkpoint in Sadr City, stronghold of the firebrand cleric Al Sadr. In a speech at a ceremony marking the handover of southern Maysan province from British to Iraqi control, Al Maliki said three provinces in the autonomous Kurdistan region would be next, followed by Karbala and Wasit provinces. Gates' opinion Iraq failure 'will be felt first in region before US' Failure in Iraq will unleash sectarian strife and extremism and will be felt first in the Middle East, visiting US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said yesterday. Speaking to a US Chamber of Commerce luncheon on the third day of his Middle East tour, Gates exhorted Arab countries to use their influence to dampen the insurgency and encourage political reconciliation in Iraq. "Whatever disagreements we might have over how we got to this point in Iraq, the consequences of a failed state in Iraq - of chaos there - will adversely impact the security and prosperity of every nation in the Middle East and Gulf region," he said. Gates also said that Iran and Syria need to become part of the solution by reducing the violence and helping promote reconciliation in Iraq. source
