Iraqis head to Fallujah with supplies

Thousands of Sunni, Shiites backed by cars unite in march to bring food, medical supplies to besieged Fallujah.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BAGHDAD - Thousands of Sunni and Shiite Muslims backed by cars full of food and medical supplies headed on foot Thursday toward the town of Fallujah which has been besieged by US forces.
The protesters answered a call by Muslim groups for a peaceful march to carry supplies to residents of the Sunni town where dozens of Iraqis have been killed since US marines launched an offensive Sunday to wipe out insurgents.

"Our families in Fallujah, remember that our dead go to heaven and theirs to hell," read a banner held by the marchers who had gathered early Thursday at the Um al-Qora mosque in west Baghdad where people donated food, drinks and medicine.

"No Sunnis, no Shiites, yes for Islamic unity. We are Sunni and Shiite brothers and will never sell our country," they chanted.

The marchers carried Iraqi flags as well as portraits of Sunni Palestinian Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, the head of the Hamas movement killed last month by Israel, and Iraqi Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr, whose forces were fighting the US-led coalition.

"Allahu Akbar," or "God is greatest" sounded from the Um al-Qora mosque as people made the donations.

1. no

but then again I don't listen to rush all day, so who am I to say?

2. A lot can change in 2 years.

4. A lot has happened in 2 years

The catch is that because the USA is the occupying power in Iraq we are responsible for all of it.

Bush doesn't get to claim credit for the school that got painted while trying to deny responsibility for all this stuff.

Thats just the way it works.

5. I think you are on to something

I read your other post about Negroponte, it's all very odd.

[Dhalgren]

3. So, you are saying in you series of posts from '04 that prior to

the appointment of Negroponte as Iraq ambassador the Sunnis and Shiias were united (to some demonstrable degree) and that after the appointment of the Angel of Death, the sectarian strive began. I think that you are really on to something, here. Good gods, it lays out like a film plot! Good catch!

7. Don, this is "hard" circumstantial evidence IMO.

I have heard people talk about "Death-squad" Negroponte and what he was sent to do, but this lays out like the beginnings of a criminal case. It is chilling. I am going to send some of this to some friends of mine who have been researching Negroponte. This is important stuff.
