Iraq To Bring More Troops Into Baghdad

January 8, 2007 -- Iraq plans to bring in more troops to Baghdad to take part in a major security operation.

An adviser to Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said two brigades from northern Iraq -- made up mostly of Kurdish soldiers -- and one from the mainly Shi'ite south will be called in.

5. Each time when you think we have hit rock bottom in Iraq
it gets worse.

BTW Both Turkey and Iran have bombed or shelled Kurdish areas
inside of Iraq's border with in the last 6 months.

Good old Prez-eee - dent Stumble Fuck has really made a mess out of things.

Remember in 2003 when bush DID NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE SHI & SUNNI?

4. The following didn't work, will this?....
Invaded Iraq and captured Saddam - didn't work
Held elections - didn't work
Trained Iraqi forces - didn't work
Executed Saddam - didn't work

Seems like this latest plan will only accomplish more and more blood shed.

6. I've read from Juan Cole that Sadr City is not in the assault plans
So what's the point...? I guess the point is, using US support to raze Sunni areas and 'clear' them out, otherwise known as ethnic cleansing?...
