| Iraqis Step Up, U.S Steps… Up. | | 2008-08-11 01:15:05 | | I’m sure we all remember the words;
“As Iraqis stand up, we will stand down,” President Bush
It seemed a comfortable grey-area within which the Bush administration could evade scrutiny over mounting pressure for U.S citizens over withdrawal. You’ll notice I say seemed because recently, even this last vestige of an excuse threatens to lay another problem [...]

| | They don’t give a DAMN about the Iraqis! | | 2007-09-20 01:32:57 | | This country has lost its way. Too many have interests in their own direction, their own agendas, and those of special interests. Those who hang separately to the detriment of their own country is appalling to me. When politicians are concerned more with the good will of other nations and of factions [...]... | | By: Forgot To Ask | | |
| | Iraqis Being Smuggled Across the Rio Grande | | 2007-07-18 08:14:57 | | From The Blotter:The FBI is investigating an alleged human smuggling operation based in Chaparral, N.M., that agents say is bringing "Iraqis and other Middle Eastern" individuals across the Rio Grande from Mexico. An FBI intelligence report distributed by the Washington, D.C. Joint Terrorism Task Force, obtained by the Blotter on ABCNews.com, says the illegal ring has been bringing Iraqis across the border illegally for more than a year. Border Patrol officials in the area said they were unaware of the specifics of the FBI's report, and federal prosecutors in New Mexico told ABCNews.com they had no current cases involving the illegal smuggling of Iraqis. The FBI report, issued last week, says the smuggling organization "used to smuggle Mexicans, but decided to smuggle Iraqi or other Middle Eastern individuals because it was more lucrative." Each individual would be charged a fee of $20,000 to $25,000, according to the report. moreHey, wasn't that one of the reason's the 9/11 comm... | | By: Dyre Portents | | |

| FBI: Iraqis Being Smuggled Across the Rio Grande | | 2007-07-17 22:18:00 | | The FBI is investigating an alleged human smuggling operation based in Chaparral, N.M., that agents say is bringing "Iraqis and other Middle Eastern" individuals across the Rio Grande from Mexico. The FBI report, issued last week, says the smuggling organization "used to smuggle Mexicans, but decided to smuggle Iraqi or other Middle Eastern individuals because it was more lucrative." Each individual would be charged a fee of $20,000 to $25,000, according to the report. The people to be smuggled would "gather at a house on the Mexican side of the border" and then cross the Rio Grande into the U.S., the report says. "Unidentified individuals would then transport them to train stations in El Paso, Texas or Belen, New Mexico".Until recently, the United States has kept its doors all but shut to the estimated two million refugees fleeing the violence in Iraq.

| | Can Iraqis win the war? | | 2007-06-30 21:55:30 | |
WASHINGTON - The harder President Bush has pushed to win in Iraq, the closer he has come to losing.
The question no longer is whether the U.S. military can fully stabilize Iraq. It cannot.
That was a possibility four years ago, immediately after Saddam Hussein’s government fell. Before the insurgency took hold. Before U.S. occupation authorities lost any chance to avoid the sectarian strife of today’s Iraq.
And this has been the evaluation on many great military mind, we blew our chance when we didn’t take immediate and full control of Iraq as soon as Saddam was deposed, we lost any chance we had at control, and that chance isn’t going to happen again…
Now only the Iraqis can save Iraq.
They need the U.S. military’s help, no doubt. But the Bush administration has made no secret of the fact that the U.S. troop buildup in Baghdad is simply buying time for the Iraqis to sort out their differences, create a government of national unity and show they can defend th... | | By: TexasFred's | | |
| | IRAQ: Iraqis now have a dream called electricity | | 2007-06-27 15:28:00 | | Simmering in the summer heat, Iraqis now have a dream called electricity. It is a part of the bigger dream of reconstruction that collapsed. On all measurable levels, the infrastructure is worse than under the former regime of Saddam Hussein, even when it was crippled by the harshest economic sanctions in modern history.Iraqis lack security, jobs, potable water, and these days when it really pinches, electricity. "Electricity is life," said 45-year-old Zahra Aziz, a schoolteacher and mother of four, using a hand-fan in an attempt to cool herself. "Modern life depends on power, and we do not have that here. Having no electricity means having no water, no light, no air-conditioning, and in other words, no life."Most people IPS spoke to in Baghdad said they get one hour of electricity in 24 hours. "June is a very hot month, and this permanent electricity failure is just another way of giving Iraqis slow death," Umayma Salim, a doctor who quit her work at a hospital in Baghdad due to secur... | | By: energy BLOG | | |
