...babysitting the death squads, keeping them in their barracks or at their positions, every night. This information is from CNN reporter Michael Ware, by the way.

8. Exactly

And this is considered progress.

2. Cool. Gives you an idea of who has command and control

over them.

My tax dollars at work.

3. I hope somebody is babysitting the boots from basic there

[Tempest]

"That's like when you dad stops beating your mom because the police are on the front porch."

[cboy4]

6. Yea, the insurgents are now detonating chlorine bombs.

The "babysitting" is working well. :eyes:

7. WHY NOT? They're OUR death squads.

They damned well better listen to their Bushevik handlers.

[buzzard]

9. But has increased in other area as per the same report just redistributing the violence.

10. Yes. Outside Baghdad, it was noted, things are getting worse.

11. Yay for freedom!

Martial law. Great "liberation" there, chimpy.
