FALLUJAH, Iraq - Taha Bedawi, the U.S.-backed mayor of this volatile city west of Baghdad, resigned Thursday amid mounting criticism of his performance, the local U.S. military commander said.

He enjoys living I guess...

1. Operation No-Confidence Vote continues, I see

And if a mayor doesn't feel safe, I can't wait to see what happens to those Iraqis who signed up for police force jobs.

As I recall from news reports, many of them are getting one day's training before hitting the street and starting their jobs. Gee, I wonder if the guerillas will target them to discourage further police recruits . . . . ya think?

2. More time with his family?

ANY time with his family in the near future?

[gratuitous]

3. "Bedawi lost the confidence of the tribal leaders"

Well now, who's running things in Iraq? Is the military and the corrupt Bush administration just going to let a bunch of tribal ragheads dictate policy, and decide who their leaders are going to be? Surely with all the blood and death the U.S. has visited on the land, it should have the final say in anything that happens, right?

Buncha pussies. No stomach to do the job right.

4. "He enjoys living I guess..." - ZACTLY !!!! - Being "backed" by the USA

. . is not exactly a prescription for a long life !

. . especially in a Country OCCUPIED by the USA

- where there are 100,'s of thousands of griieving citizens with killed, maimed and wounded relatives at the hands of the USA's "freedom !!

As bad as Saddam may have been, I am sure there are many thousands that feel that their son, daughter, mother, father, etc.,

would STILL be around if the USA hadn't "liberated" them

And these thousands of people will not forget or forgive while they still draw breath.

Collateral Damage my ass - these are PEOPLE !!!!
