"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”.

"You're panicking about the election."
We all are.
Me, I'm especially worried about the 2 Dem frontrunners blowing all their money in the primary.

"Al-Sadr may restart full-scale fight against U.S."
He's young, probably doesn't know his history, probably thinks US forces are as wussified as the Brits.

George writes:"Here is the catch. Palestinian Christians are just as much against the Zionist entity as Palestinian Muslims."
"About 25 percent of Palestinians are Christian, yet if there are any Palestinian Christian suicide bombers, I am unaware of them. Now why is that? Don't Muslim and leftist apologists incessantly tell us that the reason for Palestinian terror is "Israeli occupation and oppression"? Why, then, are there no Palestinian Christian terrorists? Are Christian Palestinians less occupied?"

"Obama is better proof that Wright's message is not one that is essentially racist and hateful than Wright would be proof that Obama is nursing secret racist tendencies."
Have you read "Dreams From My Father"?
" I think he is cursing America for its history of slavery, for its years of unequal opportunity and for its continuing racism."
Yes, dressed in his African "Ashanti" robes as he preaches Black Liberation theology he really understands slavery.
It's not like the present day Ghana region was basically a clearing house for African slaves sold by their fellow Africans to European slavers setting up in the New World or anything:

"These are things for which cursing America is justified."
I don't know about you but I was taught that our civil war, bloodiest conflict we have ever been in, helped end slavery.
"What you see on film is what has been selected for you to see."
Yes, by my fellow Americans, as guaranteed by our Constitution.
You would have it otherwise?

"America is controlled by rich white people..."

By gum, that was an odd post, sezwho.
Why the need to bring Bush into this?
He is irrelevant to the thread.
"Magnifying insignificant slips of the tongue"?
It's not just what Wright has said about Americans.
He has plenty of hate to go around.
He is an equal-opportunity racist from what I can tell.
(CNSNews.com) - "Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., pastor emeritus of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago where Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has been a member for two decades, slurred Italians in a piece published in the most recent issue of Trumpet Newsmagazine.
"(Jesus') enemies had their opinion about Him," Wright wrote in a eulogy of the late scholar Asa Hilliard in the November/December 2007 issue. "The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans.
"From the circumstances surrounding Jesus' birth (in a barn in a township that was under the Apartheid Roman government that said his daddy had to be in), up to and including the circumstances surrounding Jesus' death on a cross, a Roman cross, public lynching Italian style [Italy didn't even exist...] ..." Wright wrote. "He refused to be defined by others and Dr. Asa Hilliard also refused to be defined by others.
"The government runs everything from the White House to the schoolhouse, from the Capitol to the Klan, white supremacy is clearly in charge, but Asa, like Jesus, refused to be defined by an oppressive government because Asa got his identity from an Omnipotent God," said Wright. http://www.crosswalk.com/news/11571660/
This guy is filled with hate.
Pure and simple.
Obama's fans claim he knew in 2002 that there were no WMDs in Iraq.
But he sat in this guy's church, donated money to his ministry, was married by him and had his kids baptized by him and yet somehow remained clueless about the reverend's issues (as "liberals" like to say) with pretty much every race other than his own?
Can't have it both ways.
Why do you exonerate such people?
He says "G*d damn America" and his entire congregation goes wild.
They cheer and holler.
It's on film for all to see.

"Wright was shown in the clips assailing US and Israeli terrorism
Seems the pastor speaks the truth!"
Yeah well, for him and Obama and most Lefties hating Israel is the next best thing to hating America.

The attacks are so bad that the reverend has had to move into a gated community.

Yeah madverts,
Things just go from bad to worse for those "Western forces" involved in the counterinsurgency -
US Defence Secretary Robert Gates has recommended the top military commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus, be appointed head of US Central Command.

It's only natural that Iran, gunning for numero uno among those nations which have made the precepts of the Religion of Peace the foundation of their governments, should display to competing failures of Mohammedan social engineering like Malaysia just how much firepower they have amassed from infidel Russia, Germany, France and China.

"Clinton's win still leaves her the underdog"
And she's reportedly picking up 10 million dollars in the 24 hours since she won PA.
Yo, Barrack - ain't this primary a female underdog?

Clinton still the underdog?
She now has more popular votes than Barack Hussein Obama.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/democraticvotecount.html
Half the people in Pennsylvania think HRC is dishonest yet she won that state by 10 percentage points.
What a screwed up party.
It will never happen but I often wish someone would ask Clinton, the DNC or the party bigwigs if they don't regret her running for senator in New York instead of her native Illinois, which became Obama's springboard.

Even the BBC is reporting that the Iraqi Army appears to have won Basra.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/low/middle_east/7362509.stm
"In Basra, the Iraqi commander, General Mohan Furaiji, told the BBC his forces had nearly gained complete control of the city.
""Iraqi troops celebrate after gaining control of a district of Basra - 19/4/2008
He denied reports that he had given the leaders of Shia militias in the city 24 hours to give themselves up.
The US has sent 800 troops to Basra to help the Iraqi army, and UK and US special forces are launching raids to detain key figures in the militias.
The Iraqi campaign in Basra got off to a shaky start, but appears to be gaining ground with increased support from coalition forces, says the BBC's Patrick Howse in Baghdad.
The most influential of the militias in Basra is the Mehdi Army. There are also the Badr Brigades - linked to the political party, the Supreme Islamic Council of Iraq.
There are signs that the militias' hold on the city is weakening, says our correspondent.
There are reports of women dressing less conservatively, couples walking arm-in-arm and live music being played at weddings - all things that would have been impossible a few weeks ago, adds our correspondent."
