Muqtada al-Sadr Telling Iraqis Forces To Attack U.S. Troops

"The president is vetoing the bill to provide money for soldiers -- readiness, health care, armaments, etc and a timeline to get out of Iraq." --  Keep this in mind when Bush blames the Democrats!

   Iraqi cleric Muqtada al-Sadr is now telling the Iraqi forces to stop cooperating with the United States and he also told his fighters to begin concentrating on American troops instead of other Iraqis.

   This comes from a statement that was released Sunday and even though it bears the official al-Sadr seal, the writer has not been verified. Source

"You, the Iraqi army and police forces, don't walk alongside the occupiers, because they are your archenemy."

"God has ordered you to be patient in front of your enemy, and unify your efforts against them — not against the sons of Iraq. You have to protect and build Iraq."

   For the record, the Associated Press count of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq now stands at 3,274 including 7 civilians.

  As much as I hate to say this, things are going to get pretty ugly for the United States troops in Iraq. U.S. soldiers are under-trained and they are fighting groups who have been doing this kind of fighting for a very, very, long time.

   This occupation of Iraq is heading toward a disastrous outcome under Bush's leadership. Unfortunately, it mat be to late to do anything about it. The American voters fucked up when you re-elected this idiot in 2004 and so you also can take the blame for this mess in Iraq and the deaths of our troops.

  This man has to go, and Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Congress have to put impeachment up on the table and then proceed with it! 10 or so states are already working on getting congress to impeach this asshole, so it will not be long before Congress has no choice but to look into it.

British Told Bush To Stay Out Of Iran Dispute

   We learn today that the Bush war machine offered to use U.S. warplanes to fly over Iranian Revolutionary Guard positions in Iran after the Iranians detained 15 British sailors and marines who were caught ( allegedly ) in Iranian waters.

   It is reported that the Pentagon had offered a few various military options to the British but Tony Blair actually told Bush and company to stay out of the situation and to cut back on the rhetoric coming from Bushco. Britain also asked the U.S. to cut back on their military exercises in the Gulf so that things wouldn't appear to confrontational. Source

   This all started over a trespass by the British into Iranian territory, which the British have denied. They said that they were in international waters but that may not have been the case.

In the first days of the crisis, Iraqi officials also helped the British to identify the exact boundaries of Iraqi waters, the Guardian has learned, suggesting the British were not as certain of their case as they had publicly claimed.  The Guardian

   Anyway, I'm sure that Bush will now punish Tony Blair for not letting him start another war with Iran. My guess is that there will be no sex the next time that they meet!

   This was the golden opportunity for the Bush clan to attack Iran and he got bitch-slapped by Blair. Now Bush and the CIA and the military planners will have to come up with something different to get an excuse.
