All Sunni mosques in Iraq will be closed for three days...an ominous symbol of things to come.

Thus, any argument that the US military should remain in Iraq to prevent a civil war can be flushed. Besides, anyone arguing that the US military was there to protect the Iraqi people is either blind, in denial, or knows absolutely nothing about the reality on the ground in occupied Iraq. The US military in Iraq are unable even to protect themselves, let alone civilians.

I conducted an informal interview two days ago with a UN official here in Amman...thus I'll leave his name out of this...for now. He told me that 95% of the reconstruction funds for rebuilding Iraq have been spent outside of Iraq.

1. No Surprise

He told me that 95% of the reconstruction funds for rebuilding Iraq have been spent outside of Iraq.

This is the dirty little secret of so-called foreign aid. It is a cover for monstrous amounts of direct cash stimulus to multi-national corporations.

2. My guess is China and Russia will team up

After all, they could use the oil too. :(
What a can of worms that * opened.

3. Perhaps to organize marches?

Mass demonstrations, large angry but unarmed--that's the way they'll throw us out of their country. Terrorism is one thing, but as long as the main response to our occupation is carbombing, IED's and driveby assassinations, the Bush Terror Gang will hide behind "fightin' Islmamiac Terrarsts" to justify any response on our part, as in Falluja.
