During Friday sermons in Sunni mosques in Baghdad and elsewhere, preachers read a statement from Fallujah clerics declaring that al-Zarqawi’s presence “is a lie just like the weapons of mass destruction lie.”

“Al-Zarqawi has become the pretext for flattening civilians houses and killing innocent civilians,” the statement said.

The clerics said that in the event of an all-out attack, they would call on all Muslims to launch a civil disobedience campaign against the Americans and their Iraqi allies.

“In case the interim government and occupation troops make no response following the civil disobedience campaign, Muslim scholars and representatives of all Islamic and national groups will declare jihad all over Iraq and declare a mobilisation against the occupation troops as well as those collaborating with them,” the statement said.

None of this matters because John Kerry said that Dick Cheney's daughter is a lesbian. Pay no attention to the mess in Iraq, people!

4. Bush is using the Stalinist method of opposition control

Make people really mad and anyone who rises up, heavily punish or kill them. After a few years you are left with a population you can do anything to and not get much real opposition--in theory at least.

But what is known is that a lot of innocent people get killed in such actions.

We need to get out into the mixed boards and chats and make people really angry about the baby killing.

I thought we had last Spring, but apparently the Bushies only pulled back because until the turnover and then waited until Sadr was neutralized to start killing wholesale in Fallujah again.
