to steal a phrase from friend sassy, this is the best description i can think of for what is going on in iraq right now. The "pacification" (thanks for the vietnamwarspeak you arrogant fucks) of falluja now involves more "collateral damage" in the form of bombing a mosque (US bombards Iraq mosque complex) all this to avenge some fucking mercenaries?

ok, i know its not about avenging mercenaries, but that's what seems to be insinuated through timing and actions w/r to the u.s. "civilians" killed in falluja protecting "a food convoy"

bremmer and company have also pissed off al-Sadr, a thug and cleric with a militia that has been growing daily since the beginning of the occupation. (river has more on this) bremmer and company lost the bet on supporting some extremists over another, and now the u.s. military, the coalition provisional authority and its "civilian contractors" (read mercenaries) are involved in a multi-front uprising from both sunni and shi'a muslims, and all the mosques are crying for jihad.

i say goat screw.

ps. and now the idjit in chief is trying to link maoist rebels in nepal to al-qaeda? bbc news: US courts Nepal as anti-terror partner wtf??? are these people that stupid?
