Baghdad governor says suspends cooperation with US(military)

BAGHDAD, March 27 (Reuters) - Baghdad provincial governor Hussein al-Tahan said on Monday he would suspend all cooperation with U.S. forces until an independent investigation is launched into the killing of 20 Shi'ites in a mosque.

"Today we decided to stop all political and service cooperation with the U.S. forces until a legal committee is formed to investigate this incident," he told reporters, adding that the inquiry panel should include the U.S. embassy and the Iraqi defence ministry but not the U.S. military.

I can only shake my head... :(

alTahan ought to stop reading those liberal rags. Hasn't he heard that things are going great?

I am sure more people were not killed than were killed. Why not report the good news?:sarcasm:

...it actually sounds like they pretty much killed everybody.

must be SOME good news that could be reported. Besides, how many mosques in the city were not attacked at all? See how easy this is if one looks on the bright side?

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (from Monty Python)

From: A Faire To Remember
words and music by Eric Idle

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...

or a totally twisted way to get the Iraqi politicians to "ask" us to draw down our forces.....

And guess who has to pick up the pieces....WE The People

THEM your kids and your kids' kids. And the Iraqis, obviously.

if the Iraqis asked us to? Looks like it's time to go. Don't let the door hit us in the ass on the way out.

An Interior Ministry source said the explosion targeted Iraqi army recruits and may have been carried out by a suicide bomber strapped with explosives but it was not immediately possible to verify this. No further details were available.

But I believe the Interior ministry is the most corrupt arm of the government, put in place and supported by BushCo.

Yikes.

this is concerning the attack at the Shiite mosque that left 18+ people dead.
