Iraqi Leader Plans Security Push
Premier Promises Nonsectarian Campaign Against 'Outlaws' in Baghdad
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki warned Baghdad residents Saturday to expect the disruptions of a heightened military presence and said his government was ready to launch the latest effort to pacify the violent Iraqi capital.
As if to punctuate the announcement, the Iraqi army clashed with insurgents in a Sunni Arab neighborhood on the west bank of the Tigris River in Baghdad. The fighting along Haifa Street, raging into the night, killed 30 insurgents, and Iraqi soldiers captured eight others, including five Sudanese fighters, Defense Ministry spokesman Mohammed al-Askari said.
It's clear that by "outlaws", al-Maliki means "Sunnis" -- which means that the much-vaunted "surge" that the Crawford Caligula wants to put into Baghdad as his last-ditch effort at "winning" a war that supposedly is no longer a war, will consist of assisting the Iraqi military in ethnic cleansing -- or let's just cut the crap and call it genocide -- of Sunnis in Baghdad. In turn, that means that our military will be doing the bidding of Moqtada al-Sadr, whom our government also regards as the most dangerous man in Iraq.
Does anyone running this country have a freaking clue at all?
