The US had better decide what to do about Iraq……I have gotten info that the militants are on route to the capital……..
Iraqi tribal forces and Islamist militants have begun their push for the capital Baghdad, a tribal rebel spokesman told Al Arabiya News on Monday, amid reports of clashes near Baghdad’s international airport.
Abu Abd al-Nuaimi said the decision to launch assault on Baghdad was taken during a meeting by tribal rebel military commanders. He said the meeting was held on the outskirts of Baghdad, without indicating exactly where.
The situation in Iraq is a memory of Blitzkrieg warfare…..move fast and strike hard….

On the home front…….one of the mouth-keteers, Lindsey Graham said on “Face the Nation” that it may be prudent to ask and side with Iran in this matter………that oughta make John McCain’s head explode.
This blog was born out of the necessity for the West readers to get all the information in 2006 when Lebanon and Israel were pissing at each other….it has now come full circle with the situation in Iraq….i have always been fascinated by war….especially why we must have them….once again my blog is a voice that cannot be heard here in the United States. ….there is always more to the ct of war than we are told by the media……i will try to sort as much of it as i can and give to my readers.
Thousands of years of tribal fighting is not going to end anytime soon in the land of the religion of peace and love – – where decapitated bodies of police and soldiers are reported to be lining the approaches to Baghdad and where people are reportedly being summarily executed by insurgents just because they cannot recite certain portions of religious literature or who cannot properly answer some questions about . . . The religion of peace and love. The full spectrum of religious tolerance that has been claimed in the past by some of these religious militants is now being demonstrated fully at the end of a scimitar or an AK-whatever rifle. This stuff has been going on for hundreds of years and will go on for hundreds more to come. Mark my words!
John, thanx for the view and i agree this thing is far from over…..I will be watching and writing….stay tuned…..
Good points made. Also, it seems to me that war has been changing over the past century. There is a lot more guerrilla-type war now and countries don’t play by the same rules as in the past.
so true…..and to believe that a large scale war can win is being just shortsighted…..thanx for the comment…..hope to see you often…..chuq
