Oh yeah, and be sure to not leave your homes during unauthorized time periods or you may be shot on sight. Proceed with caution.
And have a nice day.
Robert Fisk: For the people on the streets, this is not liberation but a new colonial oppression
America’s war of ‘liberation’ may be over. But Iraq’s war of liberation from the Americans is just about to begin
It’s going wrong, faster than anyone could have imagined. The army of “liberation” has already turned into the army of occupation. The Shias are threatening to fight the Americans, to create their own war of “liberation”.
At night on every one of the Shia Muslim barricades in Sadr City, there are 14 men with automatic rifles. Even the US Marines in Baghdad are talking of the insults being flung at them. “Go away! Get out of my face!” an American soldier screamed at an Iraqi trying to push towards the wire surrounding an infantry unit in the capital yesterday. I watched the man’s face suffuse with rage. “God is Great! God is Great!” the Iraqi retorted.
“Fuck you!”
The Americans have now issued a “Message to the Citizens of Baghdad”, a document as colonial in spirit as it is insensitive in tone. “Please avoid leaving your homes during the night hours after evening prayers and before the call to morning prayers,” it tells the people of the city. “During this time, terrorist forces associated with the former regime of Saddam Hussein, as well as various criminal elements, are known to move through the area … please do not leave your homes during this time. During all hours, please approach Coalition military positions with extreme caution …”
So now
And once again you show your complete lack of knowledge in an area you know nothing about,how typical.
Newsflash genius….the purpose of the curfew is protect AMEIRCAN lives. Since the military is still fighting certain Saddam sympathizers they are not in the position to tell friend from foe and in order to protect both innocent Iraq lives and American lives fighting for Iraqi freedom the military imposed the curfew.
You know all about protecting AMERICA, right Lisa? It is the country that gives you the ability to continue to bad mouth anything not on the far left liberal agenda.
Perhaps if you don’t like it you should leave it?
Looks like the fact that 900 American soldiers have now died in Iraq and continue to die at an average of about 2 a day even after the so called “hand over” of power proves that “whybother” was the one who did not know anything about Iraq,,,,,,,,,his comment saying if you don’t like it leave it…is pure ignorance to the meaning of our freedoms….he agrees with Bush and thinks if you don’t you shouldn’t be here…..HOW DUMB CAN ONE BE>?
PEACE ……..oh and Americans have now “liberated” 11,000+ Innocent Iraqis from LIFE
