Title: Civil War in Iraq
Post by: Diomedes on February 22, 2006, 10:30:47 PM
If you haven't noticed..the long predicted civil war in Iraq?  It's ON!

iconic Shi'ite mosque obliterated (http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=nation_world&id=3932954) (with before after pic)

32 sunni mosques attacked (http://www.forbes.com/business/manufacturing/feeds/ap/2006/02/22/ap2545545.html)

cnn (http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/02/22/iraq.main/index.html) sums up the day, barely has room to mention grim postscript: 20 killed, 25 injured in bombing in Bagdhad suburb.

this report says "at least 75" mosques attacked throughout Iraq (http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/OLI263827.htm)

Iraq is about to get a whole nother level of ugly.  Mission Accomplished indeed.

This time it is between Muslim sects. Kind of reminds of me of that heated battle we used to have amongst Christians in Ireland. In Ireland that only messed with potatoes and some damn fine beer flavors. Unfortunatly in the middle east that will mess with world energy.

If that shtein's gonna disintegrate, it's time to go.
Which, of course, was the whole point of that attack.

I can't wait until PBS does a documentary.

[que the music, scroll and zoom in on stillshots]

My dearest Afifa, Farah, Hadiyya, Leila, and Yamah,

This war is tearing our nation apart. We have sent wave after wave of suicide bombers in the name of Allah, but it's having no effect. Even though we are rightous, morale is low. Thirty seven of my sons are missing, twelve are surely dead.

I will be home soon to oversee the removal of Suha's evil clitoris. Prepare the bedrooms, for we will need more sons. We will fight to the last man, so just in case it comes to that we will need more men.

Omar Abdullah Rashad, March 2006

Hey, they're becoming more like America everyday. The only difference is, here people burn down houses of worship, there they blow them up.

GF, they PBS could do it like a docudrama based on Gone With the Wind, with Rashad Bullah and Scarlah Ohallah.

It takes a really strong heat source to burn stone and mud. I'm no chemist, but I'm pretty sure when you get that stuff hot enough to burn it explodes anyway.
