A short article about the collapse of the Iraqi War into
full scale civil war.
There was another series of three mosque bombings in Baghdad on March 5, 2006 killing about 4 people. The mosques were in a Sunni neighborhood, and
Sunnis contend that Shiites from the governments Ministry of the Interior were responsible for the incident.
There has been a proliferation of attacks in Iraq since the bombings of Shiite mosques in Samara, north of Baghdad on February 22, 2006 that have left about
1,000 dead, and plunged Iraq into a civil war. The civil war is mostly being fought along religious lines in Iraq as Shiites, are in conflict with Sunni insurgent
groups. The Mahdi Army of Shiite militia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr was reported by the Washington Post February 27, 2006 as being allegedly responsible for some
of the attacks.
Former Iraqi Prime Minister Allawi told the BBC that: "It is unfortunate that we are in civil war. We are losing each day as an average 50 to 60 people throughout the country, if not more…. If this is not civil war, then God knows what civil war is."
Vice President Cheney said on CBS Face the Nation March 19, 2006 that al Qaeda is behind the terrorism that is plunging Iraqi into a civil war. According to Cheney:
"Clearly there is an attempt under way by the terrorists, by Zarqawi and others, to foment civil war. That's been their strategy all along, but my view would be they've reached a stage of desperation from their standpoint,"
As Iraq breaks down into a civil war it is not clear that continued presence of US troops is really needed at current levels, because the Bush Administration’s foreign policies
appear to have failed. Large U.S. troop reductions of about 50 to 75 percent of the current forces, are needed now.
Iraqi security forces are currently sufficiently strong enough to handle the civil war. Iraq’s newly forming government needs to handle the civil war itself, and more US
troop casualties are not going to reduce the chaotic violence in Iraq.

No no no
These terror teams ala Phoenix Program meats Operation Glaudio, are clearly western in origin.
Muslims don't bomb their own religious. shrines.
These are British, American and Israeli assets.
A real civil war is the wet dream of imperial planners.

BAGHDAD, Sept. 19 -- British armored vehicles backed by helicopter gunships burst through the walls of an Iraqi jail Monday in the southern city of Basra to free two British commandos detained earlier in the day by Iraqi police, witnesses and Iraqi officials said. The incident climaxed a confrontation between the two nominal allies that had sparked hours of gun battles and rioting in Basra's streets.
An Iraqi official said a half-dozen armored vehicles had smashed into the jail, the Reuters news agency reported. The provincial governor, Mohammed Walli, told news agencies that the British assault was "barbaric, savage and irresponsible."
Or
"Why were undercover British "soldiers" wearing traditional Arab headscarves firing at Iraqi police?
The incident took place just prior to a major religious event in Basra.
The report suggests that the police thought the British soldiers looked "suspicious". What was the nature of their mission?
Occupation forces are supposesd to be collaborating with Iraqi authorities. Why did Britsh Forces have to storm the prison using tanks and armoured vehicles to liberate the British undercover agents?
"British forces used up to 10 tanks " supported by helicopters " to smash through the walls of the jail and free the two British servicemen."
Was there concern that the British "soldiers" who were being held by the Iraqi National Guard would be obliged to reveal the nature and objective of their undercover mission? "

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060224/wl_mideast_afp/iraqunrestsamarrabomb _Fri Feb 24, 11:14 AM ET BAGHDAD (AFP) - The bombing of a revered Shiite shrine which sparked a wave of violence in Iraq was the work of specialists, Construction Minister Jassem Mohammed Jaafar said Friday, adding that the placing of the explosives must have taken at least 12 hours. "According to initial reports, the bombing was technically well conceived and could only have been carried out by specialists," the minister told Iraqia state television. Jaafar, who toured the devastated thousand-year-old shrine on Thursday a day after the bombing which brought down its golden dome, said "holes were dug into the mausoleum's four main pillars and packed with explosives." "Then the charges were connected together and linked to another charge placed just under the dome. The wires were then linked to a detonator which was triggered at a distance," the minister added. To drill into the pillars would have taken at least four hours per pillar, he also estimated. Damage to the mausoleum, holding the tombs of the 10th and 11th Shiite Imams, was extensive. "The dome was completely wrecked and collapsed on the tombs which were covered over by debris. The shrine's foundations were also affected as 40 percent of the power of the blast was directed inwards," he added.- Audio on C & D for more on audio from Ralph Schoenman. _ stream http://radio4houston.org/takingaim/takingaim060226.m3u down load...recommended http://radio4houston.org/takingaim/takingaim060226.mp3

Escalation of terror.
The growing count of bodies. These are the tools of western terror, developed by the Kennedy brothers during the 60s.tio keep the capital interests in control as ' counter revolution on the cheap' . Do we think that these tools will not be used here in the land of the free? It would be historically foolish to think otherwise.
If it can happen anywhere, it can happen to you or your family.
You let it live and now it's in full bloom.
Thank you very much.

" If it can happen anywhere, it can happen to you or your family. "
At the end of the day, it simply won't and can't happen here.
It happens in cultures and societies mired in savagery and theocratic (islamic usually) barbarism.
Again, just sit back and enjoy.
