Interactive Battle For Iraq The government, the insurgency, key players, background and photos.
For months, Washington has pressed al-Maliki to quickly pass the oil law and other pieces of legislation that are considered a vital part of President Bush's attempts to end Iraq's turmoil — alongside a security crackdown by an increased U.S. military force.
But the law, which is to define the distribution of Iraq's oil wealth, has been tied up in bickering between Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish parties in al-Maliki's deeply divided ruling coalition, frustrating U.S. officials as American support for the war has waned.

Re: "A U.S. military official is charging that Iran is using the Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah as a "proxy" to arm Shiite militants in Iraq and that the Quds force %u2014 an elite military force in Iran"
Judging from 99.99% of the information presented by our 'military officials' and 'intelligence' officials in the past; information ranging from embarrassingly incorrect to intentionally deceptive, it seems safe to conclude that these current allegations are equally weak and baseless.
This looks like more product of operation 'Fail and Blame'.

And You personnaly know this How? yes, they did guard the oil ministry. But the part about the loud speakers and encouraging the Shi'ia to loot. I don't think so. Read "Operation Cobra II" It is an unbiased account of the invasion and conduct of the war.
me thinks you are trying to stir an already stirred pot.
We're there for the oil...and the privatization of the Iraqi people's wealth...in the hands of the Anglo-American elites and their buddies on the Continent. The same people who took the Russian people to the cleaners with the vile Gorbachev and drunkard Yeltsin. The same people who are behind the privatization schemes in the US.
When the Iraqis finally end the occupation and elect a new government, the first act of a free and united Iraq should be to renounce all debts of Iraq, to nullify all contracts with the internationalist corporations and seize their assets, to throw out all of the embassies of the 'Coalition partners' in crime.
The lives and treasure of America are wasted for the privatization schemes, the self-dealing, the villany of Bush, Cheney and their Neo-Con partners in crime.
A CABINET OFFICE PUT TOGETHER A DRAFT OIL BILL TO BRING BEFORE THE IRAQI CONGRESS! IT DOES NOT SAY WHAT IS IN IT OR EVEN WHEN IT WILL GO TO THE FLOOR FOR DEBATE!
STEP AWAY FROM THE KOOL AID!

Don't you love the way CBS can weave to completly opposite stories togother. One positive the other negative. So we as readers can have a hard time making an unbiased judgement. "Is it good, is it bad" "progress, or failure" It is like they are trying to sit on the "fence" with their reporting.
...Sure, My real name is General Delusion and I believe General Bergner...Hezbollah is a Quds Force surrogate and they are Iran's surrogate in Iraq and Quds Force knew of the Karbala attack in advance...Sure. No evidence is presented, so the accusation of my colleague and neccessary complement, General Bergner, cannot be refuted.
Attention all Hindus! Iran killed the cow that jumped over the moon and she is kubideh! You must now side with your good friends, the British.
We have come to free the Iraqis...with our 14 permanent bases for the occupation of Iraq...from radio intercepts from General Bergner to General Delusion. Its all true, I can vouch for General Bergner, and he can vouch for me...

With all the money bush and cheney have made on their oil war $ 250,000.00 is nothing they could lose that every day and never miss it.
Equal justice for all everybody.
One crook protecting another crook.
It has been doing so since the first attempt of a attack on the UK. Sites open up for posting and in no time they are closed. Either hate filled rhetoric is occuring or CBS has decided to close some of the sites that would generate controversy.
Was he afraid ole scooter would learn how to talk in jail?
How many pardons did he give out as governor?
Once again bush slaps America across the face and spits in her eye.
As I have said before Al Capone would be green with envy to what this gang has got Al had to bribe officials these just say it's ok.
Some justice system.
