We are very close to the end:The US embassy in Baghdad circulated a memo to all Americans working for the US government in the Green Zone. It ordered them to wear protective gear whenever they were outside in the Green Zone, including just moving from one building to another. Guerrillas have managed to lob a number of rockets into the area in recent days, and killed one US GI on Tuesday. What the fuck are they going to do? Move the green zone to Kurdistan? They cannot move it out of Baghdad (would be admitting defeat,) but they also cannot defend it (no way to clear a large enough security corridor around it to stop rockets because hundreds of thousands of people live in the immediate area.) So I guess they will just sit there until a rocket gets lucky and hits something important. Then we'll pull out like in Beirut after the Marine barracks bombings.
What other scenarios are there?
Wapo article on Green Zone attacks.
Lasers. Sharks with frickin lasers mounted to their heads.
Okay, that'll take care of all the jihadi surfers in the Tigris. Good start. I think we'll need some fresh water sharks though, can you look into that?
it makes those recent statements by lieberman and mccain that much more odious. i cant wait for them to stroll hand in hand unattended through those safe neighborhoods theyve been crowing about. i hope blitzer suggests they do as much next time they mention how well the surge is working.
i thought this was an april fools post and in many ways it still is.
just a walk in the park.
putrid fucks.
i stand uncorrected.
via crooks and liars:
"CNN's Michael Ware just said on Your World that he did not heckle John McCain and Lindsay Graham in Baghdad as was reported by Drudge, Ware said he didn't even ask a single question during the press conference. He says go to the tape and see for yourself…
Just another Drudge smear people—move along."
