This turns out to be worth looking into.

Scroll down for some good links to stuff like this :-

A quick withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq *would be a great gift to terrorist groups,* a spokesman for Iraq's Shi'ite-led government said here.

Dr. Ali Aldabbagh said it was the *responsibility* of the entire international community, including countries in the Middle East, to help Iraq quell the insurgency.

In a one-on-one interview with Cybercast News Service Monday, Aldabbagh also described leading anti-American militia leader Moqtada al-Sadr as a man of restraint - on the same day that U.S. forces reportedly launched an assault on followers of the controversial Shi'ite cleric.

Aldabbagh, chief spokesman for the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, said Iraqis were trying to assume control of their own security, but that Iraqi security forces were currently unable to do the job alone.

That was evident again on Tuesday, when gunmen - presumably Shi'ites - kidnapped more than 100 men from a Baghdad research institute run by Iraq's higher education ministry. Those abducted, reportedly all or mostly Sunnis, included employees, guards, and even visitors to the building.

** Moqtada al Sadr as a man of restraint?**

Yeah, sure. Talk like that can lead to a brain hemorrhage. Bigger butcher of Baghdad than Saddam ever was.= TG

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
