Fear and Intimidation

Friends,
What's up in sunny Iraq. Don't forget about al Qauda of Iraq, they still enjoy the killing also. What a fucking mess we are in. Bring those troops HOME!
Peace and Love,

"The offensive, and a series of clashes it triggered in Basra and elsewhere in the country, exposed weaknesses among Iraqi troops and led to a level of violence the country had not seen since last spring. The fighting stopped Sunday after Sadr asked his men to put down their weapons; his deputies had reached a cease-fire agreement with a delegation of Iraqi Shiite politicians."

"This is the latest example of al-Qaeda's desperate strategy to regain control of the population through fear and intimidation," said a U.S. military spokesman, Maj. Mike Garcia."
