Huzzah! More great news...oh...errm...

Bin Laden played a part in getting George re-elected in 2004, quite deliberately as they needed each other. How many lives if Kerry...

I wonder how Bin will play it this time. The latest Basra business is at the timing of the Americans. I wonder at the wisdom of this on the face of it. Is the risk worth it? Is it the last throw of the dice?

Beyond this on the face of it, there may well be another agenda. The breakup of Iraq into three? How appropriate that the Iraqi central government should be the instrument of its own destruction at the prompting of their US masters. Stupid compliment tools/fools? All in the Zionist plan.

Now the Pentagon is trying to spin the situation as a win for the Baghdad goverment, that the Iraqi army is ready for prime time. Problem is, its not a national army, but the Badr Corps, al-Malikis militiamen, ironically trained and armed by both the U.S. and Iran.

Sadr as a nationalist is a threat to the American Imperial project and their proxies in Baghdad.
