  Wait redact - the other day you was saying that Basra was just dandy and that Iraqi forces were "triumphant".

  What gives bro?

  Heh, a 14 month old link to say this is really all the fault of the brits whilst the (ahem), US "liberation" remains all glorious?

  Like I said - this is no longer Denial. This needs a medical, phsyciatric term.

  And uhm, heh, redact - what happened to your best efforts to delude fellow sect members about al-Sadr's "waning popularity"?

  "From The Times April 10, 2008 Iraq snubbed Britain and calls US into Basra battle"

  http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/iraq/article3671530.ece

  A source told The Times that US forces were in Basra, eating and sleeping alongside their Iraqi counterparts, “basically doing the work that we were supposed to do. It was a catastrophic failure of diplomacy.”

  The source described the moment when the American general arrived at the British base from Baghdad: “Suddenly the cavalry appeared.”

  The source said that the Americans provided “loads of technical equipment and combat power”. As soon as the Americans arrived and started hitting houses in Basra, the daily attacks of indirect fire on the British base stopped. The source said that during that time the mood among the British forces on the base was “miserable”.

  Again, if this thing starts up with Sadr, and it very well may, you'll hear the morons who still stand behind this useless war saying it's everyone else's fault, and poor old Jambon and skipthesong will suddenly develop amnesia that they fully want Sadr to bring. it. on.

  Zaphod: "Can you spell islam? Or was that a trick question?"

  Not a trick question at all, just a moronic one. It's the idiocy and flagrant arrogance of the current US admin. that brought this on.... or wait..... was Sadr threatening to fight US forces in Iraq before the illegal invasion began? (now THAT's a trick question!).

  Skipthesong: "Bring. It. On." It is after all, what they want, they have been asking for this fight for as long as I can remember. I do believe that they do believe it is their duty to fight the US, even if we weren't in Iraq..."

  Ah, leave it to skipthesong to come on here, trumpeting all those who are 'right' in the world, and who personally would be happy if he could kill 1.4 billion of the planet's people, because he 'believes all they want is to attack US forces'.... (and we can't have that even from the FEW who DO want it simply because US forces attacked them!). Skip.... you are truly a sad individual. ANYONE who says they want mass genocide, or even the death of a single individual, is sick in the head. And here you proclaim to be 'fighting for the people'.... tsk tsk.

  This is one of the reasons that daddy bush didn't attack Iraq after Saddam pulled the Iraqi troops out of Kuwait. This is one of the very reasons that the leaders of the surrounding countries told daddy bush to not attack Baghdad.

  But baby bush, with his deer, eyes in the head light mentality, did the unspeakable. he never listened to anybody with any common sense before he attacked.

  You guys need to calm down and speak to each other in a more civil manner.

  Aw-w-w-w-w SL, we're pretty calm here. You remember this administration and so many george bush follers couldn't get into Iraq fast enough. Those of us who wanted more time to see the proofs that we knew were lies, were called un-American, un-patriotic. If you didn't wear an American Flag on your lapel, then you weren't proving your patriotism.

  Now I understand that Al-Sadr is calling for calm in his militias. He's still the ring leader of this bunch of fighters. The U. S. shouldn't ever take him lightly.

  Halliburton and military suppliers are cleaning up participating in the booming profits. US have spent $750 million on a fortress “embassy” i Iraq with anti-missile systems and its own electricity and water systems spread over 104 acres. It looks like we are heading towards WW3 between the Zionists and Arab world. Usrael vs Arabs. The oil argument is also often used as reasons for war but would it not have been better to have a stable Dollar instead?

  " US have spent $750 million on a fortress “embassy” "

  I guess that is the first time I agree with GRoualt. This monster embassy in Bagdad is a farce. They will end up with this huge white elephant in the middle of a permanent war zone, and needing a small armee just to defend it... and alreay now, they don´t find personnel staff it. Understandably... who wants live as live target practise for Al-Sadrs goons?

  All because of the ludicrious assumption that Iraq would turn into a blossoming democracy if just Saddam was removed.

  Zaphod - "All because of the ludicrious assumption that Iraq would turn into a blossoming democracy if just Saddam was removed."

  The crazy thing is that posters like redacted, SuperLib and Sarge all bought the spin.

  And even sadder that they still do.

  They are a gift to the terrorists, there's no doubt about that.

  SushiSake3:

  I don`t understand who you mean by "the terrorists". Terrorism is a tactic, not a state or a political system. Can you define?
