Guest trancepriest Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 1. BAGHDAD (CNN) -- Tens of thousands of people marched through the streets of Baghdad on Friday, enthusiastically voicing support for Lebanon's Hezbollah militia.Angry protesters chanted slogans, burned Israeli flags and waved Lebanese and Hezbollah flags in the Iraqi capital's densely populated Shiite enclave of Sadr City. They also held up placards with the portrait of Hassan Nasrallah, head of Hezbollah.The Shiite militant group Hezbollah has been fighting Israel in a fierce cross-border war that so far has claimed the lives of 644 Lebanese and 68 Israelis. (Latest developments)Sunni-Shiite sectarian strife has plagued Iraq in recent months, but many Iraqis have been incensed over the recent fighting in Lebanon. Of Iraq's 26 million people, 60 percent are believed to be Shiite Muslims.Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, a Shiite, has criticized Israel over its assault on targets in Lebanon. Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr -- who has a strong following in the Shiite neighborhood -- also has denounced Israel.Hezbollah's capture of two Israeli soldiers sparked the fighting in a cross-border raid July 12.Baghdad's march came on the heels of Thursday's Senate testimony from the commander of U.S. forces in the Mideast warning that if Iraqi violence is not brought under control, particularly in the capital, the country could descend into civil war. (Full story)2. Car bombings, clashes in MosulInsurgents and police slugged it out Friday across the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, leaving three police officers and an unknown number of insurgents dead.The clashes led officials to enforce a citywide curfew until dawn on Saturday.The violence erupted as 3,500 U.S. troops were being moved from the Mosul area to Baghdad to help bolster security in the capital.Fighting raged in at least eight neighborhoods in Mosul, the largest city in Iraq's northern tier about 250 miles (400 kilometers) north of Baghdad.At least 80 insurgents drove vehicles into several neighborhoods and attacked police patrols and checkpoints, police said.Two car bombs also went off. In one of the attacks, Col. Jassim Mohammed Bilal, a police battalion commander, and two other police officers were slain when attackers targeted his convoy in the eastern Noor neighborhood, said Nineveh province Gov. Duraid Kashmoula.Police and civilians were wounded in the blast. The bodies of an unknown number of insurgents were strewn on the ground across the city.South of Mosul, a suicide bomber in a pickup struck a police patrol near a sports field Thursday night, killing 10 people, according to a Mosul police official.Three police officers were among the dead, and 12 others, including seven police, were wounded in the attack in Hadhar, about 55 miles (88 kilometers) south of Mosul.Also in the last 24 hours, U.S.-led coalition forces staged operations in Baquba and near Baghdad, leading to the killings and arrests of insurgents, the U.S. military said.Those targeted in the Baquba raid had ties to a senior leader in al Qaeda in Iraq already captured, the military said. Coalition forces killed at least three insurgents in an airstrike and raids southeast of Baghdad. Nineteen people also were detained in raids Thursday near Ramadi and Falluja, both in the volatile Anbar province west of the capital.3. Marines charged in assault caseSix Marines have been charged with assaulting an Iraqi civilian in Hamdaniya in April, the U.S. military said Thursday.Assault charges were brought against Lance Cpl. Saul H. Lopezromo, Pfc. Derek I. Lewis and Lance Cpl. Henry D. Lever, the Marine Corps said.The case is separate from one involving allegations against Marines in the killing of an Iraqi man in the same town, also in April.

Guest trancepriest Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 1. Democratic freedom... gotta love it. ;D2. We definitely don't need more troops in Iraq.3. Winning hearts and minds by sodomy, rape, torture and killing.P.S. After we execute Saddam Hussein... I guess Al Sadr will be the new dictator (after a long civil war). We'll miss you Saddam. Can't we just apologize to the man and put him back in power? I mean he may hold a grudge for us killing his sons... but just look at Gaddafi in Libya.... now we are all good friends.

Guest trancepriest Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 100+ people dying from secular violence everyday in Iraq. Sounds like a civil war to me and no one wants to admit it....No thats just some mild regional violence. Everything in Iraq is well. After we kill Saddam Hussein the country will be ok.... you know this man... be a patriot. 100 people a day is only 36,500 Iraqi's a year dying anyway.... and after all they are just Arabs. We all know every muslim is a terrorist. I'm figuring we are really aiming for 1000+ a day dying. You see there is a method to the madness. Final solution.... we are really winning.
