1. This shit always does so much good.

Talk about pissing in the wind.

2. This only creates more fighters for the Insurgency.

There are also Shi'ite Insurgency groups and Sadr City is a ghetto that has many that will join al Sadr's Mehdi Army. The US Occupation is growing that Insurgency. Not only will the Sunni Insurgents and al Q attack US Troops but now Shi'ites will once again kill US Troops. The Busholini Regime is replete with fools.
