J Yes vehicles that do no "explode" and bring about "dancing in the street" to avoid the debris and the next "failed vehicle".

All the while singing

And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I wont forget to put roses on your grave.

radio,,,, Maybe they simply need better Automotive Industry Safety Laws

The majority of the violence is brought about through the use of "vehicles" in Iraq and "gas" so why is no one talking about rationing gas with gas id cards, odometer readings and locks on the gas tanks? How come every vehicle, person is not searched throughly upon entering or leaving Iraq?

stevex47,,,, He must have taken some liberals advice & actually read the Iraq Liberation Act instead of dishonorably spinning it.

Tool I never missed it, I commented on it. If anyone thinks Sadr is lying down for the good of "Iraq" then they must be smoking some heavy duty opium or taking LSD. He is going to wait, consolidate his base and then attack again.

I made this comment a few mths back and received alot of critism for it. How much of this so called sectrain violence is sectarian? How much of it is the other sect blaming the other side with actions that they are carrying out? This is about POWER more than religion.

Radio,,, In that Tet Offensive we had around 500,000 troops including coalition members over 4,000 KIA --- We don''t even have half those numbers in Iraq.

HiYa'' radio, j'', I think we might be on the same track here.

[stevex47]

cbville,

You aren''t attacking the Clintons enough in your arguments.

[toolmangler-2009]

Sounds like a prelude to another "Tet Offensive"

I know of several Old Soldiers that post here that should agree with me on this. Pardon me while I seek cover.

Thought I''d repost this incase you missed it.

Armed Shiite groups are locked in a struggle for power in Shiite areas of the capital and in the Shiite heartland of the south, which includes major religious shrines and vast oil wealth. Control of the shrines offers not only prestige but access to huge sums of money donated by Shiites from around the world.


Sounds like what the Chathman House called it, multiple civil wars raging in Iraq. Shiite on Shiite and Sunni on Sunni and the other civil wars Sunnis on Shiites and all about power.
