"Iraqi Shiite Wants to Limit Sunni Patrols" by DAMIEN CAVE
BAGHDAD — The leader of Iraq’s largest Shiite political party said Friday that the neighborhood patrols credited with calming many Sunni areas must submit to government authority.
Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, head of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq:
“Weapons should only be in the hands of the government.”
As an American, I VOCIFEROUSLY DISAGREE, sir!
What began two years ago with an alliance between the Americans and tribes in Anbar Province, an almost exclusively Sunni area, has since become a sprawling national juggernaut.
Money is also a factor: Most of the groups’ members are paid an average of $300 a month by the Americans, and reconstruction contracts have flowed toward those groups that recruit large numbers of volunteers.
Where's my check, U.S. government?
Security improvements of the past few months were put into context on Friday by a report from Unicef. The report, titled “Little Respite for Iraq’s Children in 2007,” declared that around two million Iraqi children suffered this year from a variety of humanitarian ills, including poor nutrition, disease and interrupted education.
That's BUSH'S LIBERATION for you!
Roughly 60 percent of children nationwide lacked reliable access to safe drinking water, the report said. Hundreds of children were killed or injured by the country’s sectarian violence while an average of 25,000 children per month were displaced.
Near a police station in Latifiya, south of Baghdad, in an area known as the Sunni Triangle, a suicide car bomber killed at least five people, according to an Interior Ministry official. Eight others were wounded."
How about that report for a New York Times Week-Ender Shit-Eater, readers?
No wonder the public thinks the surge worked.
The MSM LIED TO US!
