American occupation going according to plan
I think the next step in Bush's master plan must call for an unceremonious American withdrawl right after his resounding defeat on November 2nd. Followed by a bloody power struggle in Baghdad and the dissolution of the Iraqi interim government. Do I even need to explain any more how the only way to succeed was to make this thing a UN effort instead of an American occupation?
Iraqis Drag Four Corpses Through Streets
FALLUJAH, Iraq - Jubilant residents dragged the charred corpses of four foreign contractors — including at least one American — through the streets Wednesday and hanged them from the bridge spanning the Euphrates River. Five American soldiers died in a roadside bombing nearby.The four contract workers for the U.S.-led coalition were killed in a rebel ambush of their SUVs in Fallujah, a Sunni Triangle city about 35 miles west of Baghdad and scene of some of the worst violence on both sides of the conflict since the beginning of the American occupation a year ago.
It was reminiscent of the 1993 scene in Somalia, when a mob dragged the corpse of a U.S. soldier through the streets of Mogadishu, eventually leading to the American withdrawal from the African nation.
Three Contractors Killed in Iraq Were U.S. Citizens
WASHINGTON - Three of four contractors working for the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq who were killed in an ambush in Falluja on Wednesday are U.S. citizens, a State Department official said."We've identified three of the four as Americans," said the official, who asked not to be identified. Cheering Iraqis dragged the charred and mutilated bodies of the four through the streets of Falluja, a town 32 miles west of Baghdad.
