3. Anbar's completely pacified! Pacified Indigenous! Awakening Movement!

Welcome to the Desert of the Real...

7. No war in Anbar?....

till the money runs out. Those Awakening Councils used to be Sunni insurgents, many with blood of US troops on their hands. Now, they're just extorting protection money instead of shooting at us.

Smart fucking plan, don't you agree?

10. RIP Marines

"We don't measure the blood we've drawn anymore
We just stack the bodies outside the door

Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The last to die for a mistake
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake"

12. dont worry guys

the tide is turning!

13. When is this going to stop - really?

For five years we've posted our outrage and offered prayers and sympathy to families who have lost loved ones in this misguided "war". We have called for impeachment and for BushCo to be brought up on war crimes, but still the killing goes on. And on.

Is there nothing really that can be done to end this? Is this country just going to sit by and let this continue? Our elected representatives have failed to step up and demand that this blood letting be stopped. Is this war without end the new world order? Seriously, I'm about out of hope. I can't read one more news report of our soldiers and Marines (not to mention innocent Iraqis) dying for a lie.

Baghdad, May 4 : Five US soldiers were killed in two attacks in Iraq, US military said Sunday, while in the southern city of Basra the Iraqi army blew up a mosque housing the headquarters of the Shia Thaarallah party.


The US military said four Marines had been killed Friday by a roadside bomb in the western Anbar province, and another soldier died that evening when a roadside bomb struck a patrol in eastern Baghdad.

Meanwhile, Iraqi and US troops continued their onslaught on militiamen from Mahdi Army of radical Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr in eastern Baghdad's Sadr City slum area.

The US military said it struck with precision-controlled munitions "a criminal element command-and-control centre" in Sadr City Saturday.
