The Responsibility For This Attack Lies With The Occupying Forces
“US forces can also expect to face the fury of local people.
American troops hunting for a kidnapped comrade have this week mounted road blocks and patrols around the fringes of Sadr City, and many blamed the forces for failing to prevent the attack.
“The responsibility for this attack lies with the occupying forces,” said Hamdallah Rikabi, a spokesman for Sadr’s movement.
“Everybody knows that before this, this was a secure city and deploying the occupier’s forces is just harming our security,” he said. ………
The bombing in Sadr City was one of many today. According to Aswataliraq the toll now reaches 42 dead and 104 wounded. The death toll is going to go up because many of the wounded are not going to survive. The Sadr city bombing killed at least 28 and wounded at least 60. The other bombings were:
- A bombing in in al-Darieba Street (that’s in al-Amel in southwestern Baghdad - mfi) three killed, three wounded.
- A bombing in al-Hurriya which wounded two.
- Three killed and seven and wounded in al-Harithiyah (western Baghdad -mfi.)
- Seven killed and 25 wounded in Bayaa’ (southwestern Baghdad - mfi.)
- One dead and five wounded in Yarmouk (western Baghdad -mfi.)
The British are being forced to move their consulate in Basra to the safety of the local airbase. That’s a very clear indication of how bad things are for the American led occupation. How so? Well the British consulate is occupation HQ for the entire south. They can’t even secure their HQ anymore.
Mission accomplished.

Strange the moving of British HQ to safer ground is not getting much coverage in the US. However, after we saw one of their ‘official’ SUVs on fire on your website - the handwriting was on the wall.
How bad does it have to get before Blair does the decent thing and admits his monsterous mistake ? And gets our forces to hell out of this BushCo-made hell?
Or is he sooooo deluded and/or arrogant that he still thinks he’s right?
Naturally none of this makes the American papers or news broadcasts. I am very sorry and sick.
has it occurred to you that the problems you are having from blogger might not be due to mere mechanical failure? Perhaps someone does not want such material to be posted?
It’s certainly occured to me, Nancy. Now that Google have bought Blogger — nothing that may happen will surprise me.
