Iraq is giving up on freedom, long before freedom gave up on them

Civil War Looms With 68 Killed in Baghdad AP - 1 hour, 26 minutes ago
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Sunnis and Shiites traded bombings and mortar fire against mainly religious targets in Baghdad well into the night Tuesday, killing at least 68 people a day after authorities lifted a curfew that had briefly calmed a series of sectarian reprisal attacks. At least six of Tuesday's attacks hit clearly religious targets, concluding with a car bombing after sundown at the Shiite Abdel Hadi Chalabi mosque in the Hurriyah neighborhood that killed 23 and wounded 55. A separate suicide bombing killed 23 people at an east Baghdad gas station, where people had lined up to buy kerosine.

Maybe they heard about the port deal. It seems that helping to defeat terror by supplying ports and airfields to Americans is worth less than nothing. When it comes to reciprocate, arabs need not apply.

I'll say it again...once I believed that it was possible...now I'm changing my mind.

Islam cannot, and will not equal freedom. The two words in the same setence, are an oxymoron.

The animals are obviously roaming freely.

I would have never guessed this would happen.

Isn't it strange that when our troops first got there they had to walk on egg shells to avoid doing anything that might damage places sacred to the muslims , yet those same places are the first things they themselves target ?

If it wouldn't affect the price of oil I'd say let the whole dammed region implode .
