Iraq Violence Sets Off Security Warning

[Spazito]

TIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) - Guerrillas killed two American soldiers overnight and blew up a U.S. ammunition truck Sunday as Iraq (news - web sites)'s U.S.-appointed Governing Council called for an end to "conspiracies" threatening stability.

The military reported 30 attacks Saturday alone. The guerrillas are most active in a "Sunni triangle" north and west of Baghdad, home to Saddam's tribal network.

It said recent "bloody developments" in the Shi'ite holy city of Kerbala were among outbreaks of unrest that had prompted the Council to form the committee and issue a warning that Iraq was in the grip of a "dangerous security" situation.

In a sign of the power struggles in Iraq, the statement warned that unspecified "conspiracies" were part of the threat.

1. Conspiracies, eh? Gee, that would indicate

that some of these folks are getting together and talking and planning and carrying out an organized resistance... and uh, gee,, doesn't that mean that when Bremer says these are scattered zealots, that he's uh...well...hmm...A BIG FAT F***ING LIAR????!!!

Rerent "Red Dawn" so it will be easier to imagine why any country would resist foreign troops, whatever the reason!



GET THE TROOPS OUT NOW!

4. Please answer this Mr. Bush*?

What are you going to say to the American people when the number of dead soldiers exceeds the amount killed at the onset of the attack on Iraq? Remember when you played Topgun on May 1st and said that "major conflict was over?"

You bastard! I don't know how you can sleep at night.

This article was really hard to read. Made me very upset, angry and sad.
