Quarter million Iraqis flee sectarian violence
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A quarter of a million Iraqis have fled their homes and registered as refugees in the past seven months, data released on Thursday showed, amid an upsurge in violence that has accompanied the Ramadan holy month.

The sectarian killing continued in Baghdad, where police said they had found the bodies of 40 victims -- bound, tortured and murdered -- in the last 24 hours.

The United States says violence in Iraq has surged in the last two weeks, with this week counting the most suicide bombs of any week since the war began in 2003.

U.S. forces predicted a surge in violence with Ramadan and have proven right so far, with bombings and clashes mounting since Sunni Muslims began observing the holy month on Saturday.

1. But it's not a civil war in the eyes of the PNACer invaders.
Edited on Thu Sep-28-06 08:28 AM by higher class
Truisms:

PNACers claim they (Iraqis) are not in a civil war.
PNACers claim we are at war with most of the people in Iraq.

Our declared war by PNACers is not an official war, but they are trying to legalize it retroactively?

We don't even have an official description of the enemy?

There are no geographical boundaries around the enemy. Therefore, we choose to describe the enemy by their religion.

Regrettably, innocent U.S. citizens are also the enemy if they don't trust and pay allegiance to PNACers. It's not enough to pay allegiance to our country. PNACers are now our country. Dissent will not be tolerated. Therefore, we will have what PNACers also want - our own civil war. That's the direction we're headed in.

2. Everyone should know that people are fleeing. K and R.
Shock and awe. For the profit of some corporations through the theft of votes and the Supreme Court that put the politician friends of these corporations in the WH.

Ask friendly Congresspeople to speak about it.
