Because I have broadband cable yet disappointed with the selection, I just subscribed to Virtual Digital Cable http://www.vdc.com

I have to tell you, that the Al Jazerra TV (live from London) and Democracy Now makes the eight bucks per month worthwhile.

Anti-US base protest in Sadr City

More than a thousand unarmed protesters demanded the removal of a US military base in Baghdad's Sadr City on Friday in the first sign of Shia opposition to a new security plan.

Gee, I wonder what General Peaches Betray-Us thinks of this protest? :eyes:

Freedom on the March! :(

1. OMFG!

I just digested the following excerpt:

It was last week that troops and police taking part in the operation were able to set up a "joint security station" in Sadr City.

On Thursday, however, one of Sadr City's two mayors who negotiated with the Americans and welcomed the creation of the fortified base was shot and wounded by unidentified gunmen, who killed a police colonel traveling with him.

:wow:

2. Interesting

Any other links yet to put this on LBNs?

3. Nothing to warrant LBN type story but it seems that the natives

are not happy about this so called "surge."
