CNN: Pentagon hawking Iraqi Shia protest as pro-Lebanon

[bigtree]

in a press release.

*sigh*

[Jara sang]

1. Then we need to attack the fuck out of those Iraqis!

Ohhh wait...

[Kagemusha]

2. Can you clarify? They're claiming it's pro-Lebanon, not Hezbollah?

Thanks in advance.

4. Barbara ? on Lou Dobbs said it was a pentagon release

don't expect it on the DOD site tomorrow.

She said they characterized it as a rally in support of Lebanon.

3. Right now US is ignoring Al-Sastani's call on ceasefire in Lebanon

I think the longer the US ignores him, the more we will see more Shias in Iraq ignore Mr. Sastani's leadership altogether and follow Al-Sadar instead.

[Kagemusha]

5. Yeah ,exactly what Sistani wanted to avoid but the US isn't cooperating.

So this is the start of the result. Lovely.

[AlamoDemoc]

6. just today we saw 250.000 shias march in Iraq organized by Al-Sadar

I think the days and weeks to come will also say allot about what happens to the Shia led government in Iraq.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

7. And the civil war is between Iraqis who like the US & Iraqis who

REALLY like the US.
