continued support from those who support the soft partition of iraq is nothing new or surprising

How much money is the US footing for their support?

If true, this would be a good thing.

That's a big IF though. When the "backing" consists of more than statements to the press, and actually continues long enough to have an effect, I'll actually be impressed.

It does come just in time for the Congressional hearings and Petreus' testimony. Funny how that goes. I absolutely guarantee this will be used to counter criticisms that the Surge hasn't produced political gains.

Neither is your pessimism

try educating yourself on what is happening and than come back and talk

the kurds OF COURSE support what maliki did, his actions were to attack the nationalist entity-sadr

there is NOTHING new or surprising here.

it is only more fodder for those ignorant types who live and die by the propaganda shit they are fed.

this is of deminimous importance, a restatement of a group of likeminded groups. the struggle today in iraq is forming between those who see a strong nationalist iraq, a strong central govt, iraqi owned oil and outside nations out of iraq (nationalist Sunnis-baathist types, al sadr, etc) AND those who believe in strong provinces, weak central govt, privitized oil and long term foreign occupation (sciri, kurds, sunnis aligned and funded by Saudi Arabia-except those funded by the waahabis, etc), the former has the numbers (by a significant majority), the latter has the power-ie foreign military assistance (US), controls the government now, and has Kurdistan.


it will be interesting to see if sadr can turn his grass roots into real power come the next round of elections. he is also the key to the US getting out of iraq. he is the one force that represents getting the US out of iraq

Sunnis and Kurds agree!

Malarkey's forces killing other Shias is waaaay better than when his forces were killing Sunnis and Kurds.

How suprising is that to anyone?

The Kurds still want Independence.
The Kurds still want Kirkuk.
The Shia still hate the Sunnis
The Sunnis still hate the Shia.
The Turkomen are still scrabbling to survive the other group's infighting..
None of the four main groups want the US to remain.
The Army and Police forces are all still riddled with moles.
Sadr is still allied with Iran as is the SIIC.

This "The enemy of my enemy is also my friend" stuff is indeed touching but it is also temporary and not to be trusted.

It does come just in time for the Congressional hearings and Petreus' testimony. Funny how that goes.

Yup, just fuggin' hilarious.

Dollars to donuts.

Be Well.

one day the Bush people will just walk on stage, say, 'hey look- a rock'

and then run away before we can catch them....

so then lets also talk about the diyala province. the site of furious fighting not long ago now has silence broken with chickens crowing, not bombs going off and thousands of people who left have now returned.it was also a staging area for alqada and recently it was pronouced that alqaida was now gone.
the end of war in iraq?....please, but it is more good news.

Fucking waste of time, money, and American heroes. Fuck GW, Fuck Cheney, and fuck any stupid moron shithole that supports them.

More like Bribed support don't You??

PS Where's my 300 bucks? Don't make me go all alqueda in Iraq on your infidel asses, again.

The U.S. military said separately that an American soldier was killed yesterday in a roadside bombing in the Diyala province north of Baghdad.

Baghdad, 4 April (AKI) - At least 15 people were killed and another 60 injured in a suicide attack on a funeral procession in the Iraqi province of Diyala, north of Baghdad, on Friday.



To quote Bush's idol-"some chicken, some crow".

Poor BLT, aka Moleman-reality never gives him a chance to spread his BS.

and how great for you guys....more americans killed. damn, you have to be just really happy that you can counter my post.
good for you.

your persistent stupidity in light of the facts amazes us all. congrats.

now maybe if you could possibly see clearly to change your wrong position and assist us in stopping this fiasco it would be appreciated, you can start by changing your name to bushhaterthree

of course since these deaths are meaningless to you, you truly are hopeless.

How in the hell is this going to help anything? WE FINALLY CAN AGREE ON THE GROUP THAT WE ARE GOING TO REPRESS! I feel like we've really come together since we all hate the same people.

Wow, Sunnis and Kurds like him and Shiites don't. Wake me up if something really happens.
