A wounded protester is carried after guards protecting a U.S. facility at the Iraqi capital's Hotel Baghdad fired on demonstrators supporting firebrand Shi'ite cleric Moqtada Al Sadr April 4, 2004. Sadr's supporters have staged several marches in the past week to protest against the closure a week ago of al-Hawza newspaper, a mouthpiece for Sadr that U.S.-led authorities in Iraq (news - web sites) accused of inciting anti-American violence.

5. It appears that all hell is breaking loose....
...and this isn't even Fallujah? How close are they to complete anarchy? Who's calling the shots - Bush or the military? Or Cheney?

6. "They will welcome us with open arms, as liberators."
So what happened some Iraqi mixed up his order forms and ended up getting grenade launchers instead of flowers to welcome our troops with.

7. As my kids would say, the Bushies are just "stooopid."
Some of them are supposed to be intelligent? I don't buy it. They had their twisted ideological reasons for invading Iraq, but apparently never thought about what to do next. That pretty much meets most people's definition of "stupid."

8. Bringing "democracy" to Iraq.
They will be democratized even if we have to kill the whole country to give it to them.

19. More and more everyday.
Do you think CNN should conduct a poll?

Of course we aren't allowed to know what that number is. I think Bremer said it was "small" % of the Iraqi people. Let's say 5%. That's over a million people. And that's a whole lot more than were around for the staged photo-op last April when we took down the statue of Saddam.

22. Will the nonsenses never cease?
What "percentage" are resisting? When it was only the Sunnis, we heard "Oh, it's only the Sunnis. It's only in the Sunni triangle!" Now that the Shi'a are engaging in open street warfare with the coalition from Baghdad to Basra, we hear "What percentage? What are the polls like?"

The blindness and insufferable stupidity of Americans on this question will be their undoing. Keep the questions up. When Najaf is retaken by local Shi'a (as Fallujah has been effectively retaken by local Sunni), we'll hear all about the "percentages" and the laughable polls.

It's over. A coordinated Shi'a uprising has occured in Iraq today, and it will only build in popularity and power. The US/UK colonizing forces are in for it. Needless to say, viewers of Fox news will continue with their stupidities until we're dumping Blackhawks into the Persian Gulf, and building long walls on the DC mall. Idiots.

13. Can't wait for the PNAC pea-brains to try and disarm citizens of Iraq.
That will be their next step. After all, that was Hitler's next step. He didn't trust the 'masses'. Remember, * decided to let each Iraqi keep one weapon to 'protect' themselves.

That's the picture of Chimpy watching Dave Letterman's yawning kid video.
