“The Native Americans were treated better than us”


The United States military has begun building walls in Baghdad to seperate Sunnis and Shiites in an attempt to stem the endless intranacine bloodshed.

The first of these walls is being built to enclose the Sunni Arab neighborhood of Adhamiya,one of the most violent of Baghdads districts.

This is another development in the War that you will probably not hear very much from the people like the President. This is not the part of the story Bush wants you to hear.

So we are now walling off neighborhoods from each other, creating check points on each block that effectively cut off one part of the capital city from another.

Is this what Bush calls breathing space for the Iraqis? This is the plan to bring the warring sects together to work on national reconcialiation? Does any of this seem counterintuiitive to you?

We are going to bring the Sunnis and the Shi'as together by seperating them?

And then to top it all off, Bush says this, just to remind himself that he is GW

"the men who attacked Iraqis … swear allegiance to the same network" that assaulted the United States on 9/11."

"This was hardly a random act of murder," Bush said of the explosions in Baghdad. "It has all the hallmarks of an Al Qaeda attack. The terrorists bombed … at rush hour with a specific intent to kill as many people as possible."

I just wish the President would actually be honest with the American people and talk about things like this wall being built.

So this is why we invaded Iraq? To seperate the capital city into neighborhood fiefdoms? Does that sound like Democracy?

And what happens to these "gated communities" when the United States leaves Iraq, which Mr. Bush has promised to the
American people?

Is this really a plan?

There are two explanations for this plan. It's either the American military leadership is stupid [no offense] or they are doing it intentionally carrying out the conspiracy theory Arabs believe in.

How could they do that? Insurgents blew up bridges, entire highrise buildings with their people, entered the Green Zone. Do you think a wall will prevent them from doing so? That's so stupid. I kind of started strongly believing that they are carrying out "Divide to Conquer" things. Seriously. I am so mad right now. Why? Why? Why all this destruction and distortion of this beautiful city?

No offense taken.

It seems to me that everything being done by the US in Iraq at this point is solely for the interests of the US. Like the wall. They build it so the Bush Adm can point to a chart on the wall that says sectarian killings are down, so the "plan" is working.

That is because the only plan is for this to stay manageable until this president leaves office. He doesn't have the guts to make any plan that might end this war on his watch. He will save that inglorious moment for his replacement.

Worst President Ever.

Are you as starved for true leadership in this country as I am Cent my man?

Is this all we have?
