Michael Ware - Gee whiz, a Sunni militia. Yes, indeed. Just what the USA needs to 'legitimize' their illegal war. Warlords.
Long time ago, I stated it was prudent to leave Iraq to Iraqis. Well, that is what is going on in Iraq now, so what is the USA still doing there. See, it behooves the Sunnis to 'befriend' the USA when they 'get munitions.'
Oh, good, 'on the spot executions.' When is the World Court going to bring the USA into line with the practice of military legitmacy rather than exploitation of desperate human beings caught up in a war they never asked for.
So, while the USA bolsters the Sunni militias, the escalation in Pakistan and Afghanistan is more than palpable.

ISLAMABAD - Three suicide bomb attacks killed at least 52 people in Pakistan on Thursday, as a militant backlash intensified following the army's storming of a radical mosque in Islamabad.
A wave of bomb attacks has swept across Pakistan, killing more than 160, since the assault nine days ago on the Lal Masjid or Red Mosque complex, a militant stronghold.
At least 30 people were killed on Thursday when a car bomber, apparently targeting a vehicle carrying Chinese workers involved in mining activities, rammed into a police van escorting them in the southern town of Hub.
The Chinese were unhurt but all seven policemen in the van and 23 bystanders were killed. Twenty-eight people were wounded.
Oh good, now we get treated to 'talking head' generals, a CNN favorite strategy since the first propaganda of the Culture of Fear as the 'imbeds' road into Baghdad.

BAGHDAD -- A bloc of Sunni Arab lawmakers returned to Iraq's parliament today, ending a five-week boycott and vowing to work with their Shiite counterparts to save the country from chaos.
Iraq's legislature has been deadlocked for weeks, despite U.S. pressure to meet 18 benchmarks, including a national oil revenue law and legislation to rehabilitate state employees purged from government because of their membership in the late dictator Saddam Hussein's Baath Party.
Congress has linked continued support for U.S. military operations in Iraq to the Baghdad government's success at meeting the goals set by Washington for measuring movement toward reconciliation.
It was unclear if the Sunnis' return would signal a quick push to pass measures ahead of the Iraqi lawmakers' monthlong August vacation, or whether the parliament would delay its break to give U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker and Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of American forces in Iraq, some legislative accomplishments to tout when they deliver to Congress in September their assessment of current military operations....

Johnson and Johnson commercial promoting nurses. Nice sentiment. But, how many people of the USA do these nurses actually get to care for? Certainly not the whole nation.

Religious bigotry promoted by CNN's AC360. Just that simple. I am not going to debate idiocy on this subject. It's like, what God do you worship? There is no way the USA will ever be a Christian dominated government that caters only to radical evangelicals. Ain't goin' there.

BAGHDAD -
A triple bombing, including a massive suicide truck blast, killed more than 80 people Monday in Kirkuk, the deadliest attack yet in the oil-rich northern city. The bloodshed reinforced concern that extremists are heading north as U.S.-led forces step up pressure around Baghdad.
The vast majority of the casualties came in the truck bombing, which blasted a 30-foot-deep crater and damaged part of the roof of the headquarters of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, the party of President Jalal Talabani. The explosion took place in a crowded commercial area and appeared aimed at causing as many civilian deaths as possible.

...But," he adds, "we are still able to launch attacks. Weapons are brought in by hand. Fighters watch the soldiers until they leave the checkpoints to buy something - then they follow them and kill them."
Both men are leaders of the Iraqi resistance - or insurgency, as it is usually known in Britain and the US. Zubeidy is the political spokesman of Ansar al-Sunna, an Islamist armed group with a ferocious reputation in Iraq, and Omary is head of the political department of the 1920 Revolution Brigades, a more nationalist organisation whose name commemorates an uprising against British rule after the first world war.
