"U.S. Begins Erecting Wall in Sadr City"
"Trying to stem the infiltration of militia fighters, American forces have begun to build a massive concrete wall that will partition Sadr City, the densely populated Shiite neighborhood in the Iraqi capital.
The construction, which began Tuesday night, is intended to turn the southern quarter of Sadr City near the international Green Zone into a protected enclave, secured by Iraqi and American forces, where the Iraqi government can undertake reconstruction efforts....
In the language of the New York Times, a PRISON is a "protected enclave!"
As for reconstruction, Sadr is best there , too!
We know what this is all about, readers: bullshit political fooleys!!!!
On Wednesday night, huge cranes slowly lifted heavy concrete blocks into place under a moonless sky. The barriers were implanted on Al Quds Street, a major thoroughfare that separates the Tharwa and Jamilla districts to the south from the heart of Sadr City to the north.
The avenue was quiet except for the whirring sound of the cranes and thud of the barriers as they touched the ground. Contractors operated the cranes, but American soldiers transported the barriers on trucks and directed their placement.
The team building the barrier was protected by M-1 tanks, Stryker vehicles and Apache attack helicopters.
This is "LIBERATION," huh?
No, readers, it is OCCUPATION and it MUST END!!!!!
Fuck AmeriKa if this continues, then, FUCK HER!!!
WAKE UP, American assholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So much for my pledge!! :-(
As the workers labored in silence, there was a burst of fire as an M-1 tank blasted its main gun at a small group of fighters to the west. An Apache helicopter fired a Hellfire missile at a militia team equipped with rocket-propelled grenades, again interrupting the night with a thunderous boom. A cloud of dark smoke was visible in the distance through the Stryker’s night-vision system.
Concrete barriers have been employed in other areas of Baghdad. As the barriers were being erected in other neighborhoods, some residents said they feared being isolated. But walls have often proved to be an effective tool in blunting insurgent attacks....
I'm so god-damned sick of this shit, readers!
END the FUCKING WARS NOW!!!!!!!!!
Many of the Shiite militias that the American and Iraqi forces have been battling in the Tharwa area of Sadr City in the past several weeks have been infiltrating from the north. Al Quds Street has become a porous demarcation line between the American- and Iraqi-protected area to the south and the militia-controlled area to the north.
Oh, so the "reconstruction" excuse they gave was BULLSHIT, too!!!!
The avenue has been filled with numerous roadside bombs that American teams in special heavily armored vehicles have sought to clear. The militias have stacked tires on the road and turned them into burning pyres to hamper the American infrared surveillance and targeting systems or to soften the concrete to make it easier to bury bombs.
It's what is known as SELF-DEFENSE, Pentagon puke!
With a sandstorm hampering reconnaissance drones and grounding helicopters, work on the barrier was suspended Thursday, but the military intends to resume work as the weather improves.
Yaaaaaaaayyyy!!!!!!!
Then I hope the sandstorm lasts one-hundred years like the occupation is intended to!
No missiles fired at innocent Iraqis!!!
The swirling dust storm, which turned the sky into a gritty beige, proved to be a boon to the militias. Calculating that they would ground the Americans helicopters and interfere with the reconnaissance drones, militias assaulted the northernmost Iraqi Army positions....
How come the Times piece below failed to tell me about this, readers?
Why must you search and cross-reference, readers?
Three Iraqi soldiers were reported killed Thursday when a militia fighter sneaked up close enough to a position they were guarding to lob a grenade, American officers said. There was such a heavy volume of Iraqi Army fire, however, that American commanders were not able to determine the scale of the attacks and whether they were as severe as the Iraqi forces had reported....
Yeah, our Iraqi forces just open fire and keep firing from what I've read.
The American military hopes to turn the southern portion of Sadr City into a protected enclave so that reconstruction can proceed....
Why does Gordon repeat the lie again?
During a joint patrol conducted by Iraqi Army soldiers and American troops from the First Battalion, 14th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division on Tuesday, residents complained vociferously about stagnant pools of water, downed power lines and piles of garbage...."
That's BUSH'S LIBERATION, huh?
That fucking shit failure!!!!!!!!!!!!!
