As an American colonel famously declared after a battle in Viet Nam: “Sometimes it’s neccessary to destroy a town in order to save it.” I have a solution for the “security” problem in Bagdagh: Level the whole damned city.

Not that the military has ever had a problem with using contradictory terms, but “safe for occupation” is a new low.

There are ways, but none of them align with bringing freedom and democracy.  Oh hell, what am i saying?  We threw those ideals out when we decided to impose them with the barrel of a gun.

I wonder if we will ever figure out that for every “insurgent/terrorist” that we kill, torture, or imprison we are making at least three more to take his place?  Scratch that; “we” already figured that out, and we realized that it’s good for business.

Maybe the God Damn light will go on in the heads of our leaders.  The U.S. military is in a foreign land.  A bunch of terrorists/combatants are holed up in a slum fighting this military from half way around the world. 

“Whup!!!  Jesus Christ!!!  These people don’t want us here.  THEY LIVE here.  We (U.S. military) don’t live here.  Oh God!  What does this mean????  Oh no!!  We are invaders and occupiers.  What the Hell is the meaning of this????  All of the dead, maimed, homeless, scared, the destroyed infrastructure…..  Oh No…..”

All of those responsible deserve to be hung.  Just like Saddam Hussein. With the same glory benefited Saddam.  Yes, that is YOU Bush, Cheney, Rice, Powell (sorry old boy, I used to respect you) Wolfie on down.

I don’t believe for a moment that Maliki is doing anything but ‘going along’ with the orders from Bush and the Pentagon. Sadr City has been on the agenda for months, with constant (literally NON STOP) air raids. We damn well know that the Iraqi forces are NOT doing air raids, and we can also assume that the media is lying about any significant involvement by the Iraqi forces.

What? The very same forces that abandoned the task just over a month ago, when Maliki allegedly called a strike that the US liars (Betrayus) claimed they didn’t know about?

And what about those walls that they put around Sadr City, (and the rest of the neighborhoods of Baghdad?) That’s what’s made it so much easier to bomb them from the air. 1000 MOSTLY civilians in a month, and of course they’ve known all along that it would be civilians they were bombing. It’s an urban and highly dense slum that houses over 2 million Iraqis.

Anyone who believes that this is ANYBODY other than the US, is in serious denial. Maliki has ZERO control outside of the Green Zone, and even that has always been a matter of show.

So NO, Maliki hasn’t made his own people kill their own, though he’s obviously going along with it, because he has no power. This is a US military operation, and was part of the occupation plan all along. Dick Cheney is tired of them messing around, and wants ALL of Baghdad under US control immediately.

If anybody thinks Maliki has anything to do with this, they’re wrong. This is a Dick Cheney command, and has been from the beginning.

Two football stadiums, eh? How about ready made refugee camps. It’s just the continuing of an ethnic Holocaust like the one that’s been on-going for the Palestinians for 60 years.

The US is doing the same thing, as we speak, to Somalia, killing thousands of Somlian civilians by dropping their bombs from the air.

Against all polls and against the will of the American people to get out of Iraq, Bush is still pushing this agenda.

In this election cycle I pray that all Americans question their leaders regarding the Impeachment that should have been but wasn’t and closely examine their representatives voting record.

We need to start from scratch all over again.

Indeed, what IS the meaning of “pacify the area”[/i] and what IS meant by “making it safe for occupation”? These are the words and concepts of the invader alone, uhh…...
