Okay...

"This is going on within the framework of negotiations, and the negotiations will continue to progress," he said.

Well..That´s good..Then you don´t have to dismantle those..Even if we know how much you are for dismantle and build and dismantle and build..Maybe we should send in some fraggles later to eat some up so you can build again..Anyway...As we said before: We wish you doozers shouldn´t have to hurry and do the same mistakes we have seen in so many other countries with having to hurry and in so many parts destroyed landscapes and the atmosphere in older areas..It´s better to think twice and try to adjust one selves to the landscape and in some way trying to adjust one selves to the earlier thinking of urban areas than just doozer one way overhead..We see this ways all over the planet and it´s tragic..As an example..We would be a lot happier if people could have thought on that a suburb build in the 50´s should not be totally remodeled but tried to adjust themselves to the atmosphere and made a continuing of that way of thinking instead of totally doozer over every thing and by that lost it..

For instance...We do wish you should let the untouched beach that is left kept being untouched! And save the area with the Gazelles! Because some things are invaluable and ones destroyed one will never have it back! And those areas are very much certain to more value in the future than some building!


On the other hand..We can read that Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat condemned the construction plans and appealed to the Americans to intervene..

So we do still wonder..what´s what..It´s a bit strange..We can establish the fact that many people in the Middle East talk in two-ways..We do hope it will not spread..

And we hear a lot of Israeli settlements..

Well..They just have to dismantle those that shall not be after agreements! That´s what Doozers do! Build -dismantle-build-dismantle..

And stop burning tires! You are polluting the air and waters! What´s this burning tires? Stupidity! Stupid people..We have only one planet! We have to share it!

Some hundred protesters burned tires in the Har Bracha settlement on Monday as Civil Administration and police forces attempted to destroy a caravan site in the area. Police said that their attempts Monday to reach a peaceful resolution with settlers fell on deaf ears but that they "did not intend to be drawn into a confrontation" with them.

Iraq

Karbala police forces arrested six wanted men, dismantled an explosive charge and seized arms and explosives in different areas of the holy Shiite city, a senior security official said on Monday."Security men also defused a home-made explosive device planted on a road in al-Binaa al-Jahiz neighborhood, and seized six missiles of 60 mm caliber, four RPG-7 shells and eight PKC rifles in the district of Ayn al-Tamr, (85 km) west of Karbala," Jawdat said.

Kirkuk, Mar 31, – Thirty-seven suspected gunmen were captured in a raid conducted by a joint Iraqi-U.S. force southwest of Kirkuk on Monday, a security source said.

Arab summit

The summit ended with the leaders approving a resolutions that were vague enough to please almost everyone, masking over the tough differences between the countries. The leaders called on Israel to accept a 2002 Arab land-for-peace proposal and said "international momentum" from a U.S.-hosted peace conference November should be maintained.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas won key backing, with the Arab leaders saying his leadership should be respected. The statement said the situation in the Gaza Strip should "return to the status" before Abbas' Hamas rivals seized the territory in June. The summit's final statement backed the Arab League compromise proposal for ending Lebanon's presidential dispute. It calls for Lebanon's army chief to be elected president and for a unity government to be formed.

Iraq's Shiite-dominated government has long accused Sunni-led Arab governments of not taking a strong enough stance against Sunni Arab fighters who made up the backbone of Iraq's insurgency. The Iraqi objections came when Arab League chief Amr Moussa read out the "Damascus Declaration" for the delegations to approve. The document called for "Iraqi brothers to stop bloodshed immediately and preserve the lives of innocent citizens" and for hastening the "end of the foreign presence" in Iraq. "I express reservations on the text because "It does not include the efforts of the Iraqi government for national reconciliation and it does not condemn terrorism and violence." Shiite Vice President Adil Abdul-Mahdi said.

Gadhafi mocked a plan by the Arab League to start Arab cooperation on a joint nuclear program. "How can do we that? We hate each other, we wish ill of each other and our intelligence services conspire against each other. We are our own enemy." "Where is the Arabs' dignity, their future, their very existence? Everything has disappeared."

Well..You are absolutely right about that humans are their own worst enemy! And it´s a LOT of stupidity on this planet. And tell us..What is it that have disappeared? Other than the ice about to doing that at the poles..We do not like this nuclear thoughts..we prefer solar and wind energy..This whole planet and every thing living on it runs on solar energy! What the heck shall we do with nuclear? How ungrateful!

Rice meets top Israeli, PA negotiators

Rice meets top Israeli, PA negotiators in bid to advance talks as Israel vows to ease W. Bank restrictions. After a late visit to Amman Sunday night, Rice will meet with Olmert on Monday, followed by a tripartite meeting with the heads of the Israeli and Palestinian negotiating teams, Livni and former Palestinian Authority prime minister Ahmed Qurei. US diplomatic officials said it was likely that she would return to Israel again before Bush's visit.

Rice said at a press conference with Livni that Israelis and Palestinians shared the responsibility to create an atmosphere in which both parties were held accountable. "There ought to be a shared responsibility here for an atmosphere and a reality that can lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state based on security for Israel and Palestinians alike and economic viability for Palestinians," she said. Livni said it was important to make progress on an overall agreement as soon as possible.

The US issued a statement after the meeting, saying that Barak and Fayad had "agreed on concrete steps to implement the road map," the US-backed peace plan that envisions the creation of an independent Palestinian state. "This is a program that will improve the daily lives of Palestinians and help make Israel secure," the statement read. Defense officials said the West Bank access plan would be implemented in the coming weeks. Abbas and Rice met Sunday in the Jordanian capital, where Rice also saw Jordan's King Abdullah II. Rice announced Sunday that Israel speed up the movement of Palestinians through the West Bank, while the Palestinians pledged to upgrade security. The Israelis also will give Palestinians more security responsibility in the town of Jenin and also pledged to increase the number of travel and work permits for Palestinians and to support economic projects in Palestinian towns. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian Prime Minister Salaam Fayyad agreed to what the U.S. termed "concrete steps" at a joint meeting with Rice on Sunday. "We will be monitoring and verifying," Rice said.

Defense Ministry sources told the radio station that in the next few days, five illegal West Bank outposts would be evacuated in accordance with an agreement with settler leaders. The sources also said that settlers had been offered replacement sites instead of the Migron outpost. The Knesset vote on the proposed Evacuation Compensation Law, designed to pay West Bank settlers to move within the Green Line, may come sooner than many thought - and the legislation may be much closer to passing than many opponents think, bill co-sponsor MK Avshalom Vilan (Meretz) said Sunday. Kadima's support, for the most part, is awaiting a response from Vice Premier Haim Ramon, who has been tasked by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert with assessing the bill's feasibility. Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni voiced support for the bill for the first time at a press conference on Sunday with visiting US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. But Livni said the bill should not be proposed until after a deal was reached with the Palestinians on Israel's final borders.

ISLAMABAD

(Reuters) - Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf swore in 24 members of Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani's cabinet on Monday, six weeks after opposition parties won a general election.

Politicians resist honour crimes reform?

Well..It´s like it sounds- honour crimes..Crimes..People should not take the law into their own hands, no matter what it is about! Sure there is need for some reform to make it a issue and something for the justice system!

Well..It´s the same as from Gaza..

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, which houses Iraq's government and the U.S. embassy, appeared to be under rocket or mortar attack on Monday, Reuters witnesses said. A siren wailed inside the U.S.-protected compound and a recorded voice warned people to take cover amid the sound of explosions. A dust storm enveloping the city made it difficult to see where the missiles were landing. The attack came a day after Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr ordered his Mehdi Army fighters off the streets in an effort to end six days of clashes with Iraqi and U.S. forces. Many of the attacks on the Green Zone have been launched from Sadr City, a Mehdi Army stronghold in eastern Baghdad.

Casualties in the clashes that took place in Thi-Qar province during the past four days reached 35 deaths and 113 others wounded, a media spokesman for the Thi-Qar police said on Sunday. The security casualties hit seven deaths and 44 others wounded, while the civilian casualties reached 28 deaths and 60 wounded as a result of mortar shells and missiles fired by the gunmen, Radi al-Rakabi told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq. Earlier on Sunday Rakabi said security forces succeeded in clearing all the southern city districts of gunmen. The forces entered Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's offices in Sumer and al-Sadr districts, central Nassiriya, and seized ammunition, rockets and improvised explosive devices," he said.

With a terrorist movement claiming to have no responsibility or influence over some other part of it! After all it is Iranian made rockets attacking another state! Their neighbour! And others as well..While the Syrian "spokesman" Mashaal sits and screams from Damascus..

And the Iranian regime called Turkey to "eliminate" the "Israeli-Iraq." Denying the Kurds their rights to their land at the same time they claim to care about others..

The Iranian Revolutionary Guards resumed bombarding the Kurdish border villages of Rizgah, Shinawa, Spigle, Maraud and Arke in Pishder district, and Sulaimani province as reported to PUKmedia correspondents from the scene 6 villages were de-populated in the shelling, 4 houses were demolished, and dozens of families were moved to areas far from the border, fortunately, no casualties were reported according to private sources. A Japanese organization, the UNHCR, and the IRC opened a refugee camp to the displaced people of the areas, PUKmedia correspondent said as well. Meanwhile, Reports from Foundation for Democracy in Iran (FDI) sources inside Iran and from northern Iraq confirmed that the Revolutionary Guards aircraft have been conducting surveillance flights inside northern Iraq this since the begging of March in areas controlled by PJAK guerillas.The shelling, in August, sent hundreds of Iraqi Kurds fleeing remote mountain villages near Iraq's eastern frontier. Earlier this month, Iraq and Turkey pledged to take measures against PKK and PJAK rebels in northern Iraq during talks to soothe tensions following a Turkish cross-border offensive against the militants. Kurdistan Regional Government Coordinator of the United Nations, Dr. Dindar Zebari expressed his displeasure of Iranian artillery shelling and called on the Iraqi government to exert more efforts to stop the bombing as soon as possible. Zebari called on the United Nations agencies, humanitarian and charities organizations to support and assist civilians affected by the bombing.

Public peace talks..

Yeah..We do wonder if it is more important to stand in the limelight on the "world stage" than actually achieve peace..Like using the Arab League summit like a stage.. with dragging in the whole region into wars and proxy wars and then tell people that it is a price for peace..

Before some people have reach the final scene, it´s only the rats left at the theatre..

Well..Some sounds a lot like Hamas..with one part of the movement firing rockets and the other talks about "resistance", don´t they..

NAJAF, Iraq (Reuters) - Iraqi Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr called on his followers on Sunday to stop battling government forces after a week of fighting in southern Iraq and Baghdad threatened to spiral out of control. "Because of the religious responsibility, and to stop Iraqi blood being shed ... we call for an end to armed appearances in Basra and all other provinces," Sadr said in a statement given to journalists by his aides in the holy Shi'ite city of Najaf. "Anyone carrying a weapon and targeting government institutions will not be one of us." U.S. forces have been drawn deeper into the fighting, which exposed a rift in Iraq's Shi'ite majority between parties in Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's government and Sadr's populist street movement. The government welcomed Sadr's statement but said it would press on with its offensive in Basra. "The operation in Basra will continue and will not stop until it achieves its goals. It is not targeting the Sadrists but criminals," spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh told Reuters. Scores of people have been killed in clashes in southern Iraq and in Shi'ite neighborhoods of the capital, where an indefinite curfew is now in place to contain further violence.

In his statement, Sadr also called for an end to "random arrests" of his followers and for them to benefit from an amnesty law passed by parliament in February aimed at freeing thousands of prisoners from Iraqi jails.

Sadr aide Hazem al-Araji said Mehdi Army fighters would not hand over guns: "The weapons of the resistance will not be delivered to the Iraqi government," he told journalists. Araji also said there had been an agreement with the government to stop "random arrests," an underlying grievance of Sadr's followers that has fuelled this week's violence. Sadr's followers have accused Maliki and the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, his most powerful Shi'ite ally in government, of trying to crush them ahead of provincial elections due in October in which they are expected to make a strong showing.


Sadrists have complained that Iraqi and U.S. forces have exploited a truce called by the cleric last August to make indiscriminate arrests. The U.S. military says it only targets those who disobeyed Sadr's ceasefire order. A key test will be whether Sadr's unruly militia, which he has sought to reorganize in recent months to root out rogue elements, will obey his order to stand down. Shortly after Sadr's statement, a salvo of rockets or mortars was fired at the Green Zone diplomatic and government compound in central Baghdad. The U.S. military has blamed rogue Mehdi Army militiamen for similar barrages in the past week.

But in the southern city of Nassiriya a Reuters reporter said clashes with security forces had stopped and Mehdi Army fighters were seen withdrawing from the streets. This week's fighting has placed the United States in a dilemma. The United States also risks being sucked into an intra- Shi'ite conflict at a time when it plans to pull out some 20,000 troops and decide soon on future troop levels. U.S. forces said they killed at least 14 fighters in two helicopter missile strikes in Baghdad early on Sunday. They also said special forces have been operating alongside Iraqi units in Basra, where air strikes killed 22 fighters on Saturday. The government offensive has so far had little success reclaiming the streets of Basra. Shortly before Sadr's statement, Reuters Television pictures showed masked Mehdi Army fighters brandishing machine guns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers outside a state television transmission station after setting fire to Iraqi troop carriers.

In fact..This brainwashed repeating the "Qom-project" mantra that is spread all over the Middle East and is nagging every one to death, do feel a bit ridiculous. It´s taking people all over the Middle East back to the students class room and force people to stay there. Just because there are some that don´t grows up there is no justifications to force it on others! In fact..It´s bad upbringing ..Some people have not learned any manners at all and seems to refuse to leave the school corridors! Some people are not living in reality! They goes around like teenagers in their own little world as teenagers do..

Anyway..We are happy with moves that stop Iraqis attacking their government and start to act in the interests of their country..And not in some one elses..The Iraqi people have suffered, being tortured and killed in the most disgusting ways in others interests and psychopathic "agendas" enough..without they shall start to kill each other..There is really need for reconciliation among people in Iraq, you have all suffered the same whether you are Shiite´s, Sunnis, Kurds, Americans or any other countries that are there to fight for Iraq or whoever. We will not have al-Sadr or any one else working on to keeping a war every one wants to see the end of! We are not paying with our lives and in every aspects for firing rockets! Either in Iraq or Gaza..Or Lebanon!

So just shut up this "American occupiers" in Iraq! Because there are troops from all over the world in Iraq fighting for to stabilise Iraq for the IRAQI PEOPLE! And we are not doing that because some students shall firing rockets, and working on to destabilize in their own personal "Qom-career"!

No surprise!

How a former PKK member tells us he had received training in some training camp in Lebanon! In fact..We are not a BIT surprised!

This is a Iranian/Turkish/Syrian/Nasrallah/Hamas and now al-Sadr-"against the occupiers" repeating the Syrian and Iranian mantras from their militants in Basra which they have destabilized. In their Collective-Genocide-Suicide-Islamic-Mutfi-Hitler-carousel with using people as tools and handles, that does not serve ANYONE else than themselves! And is taking every one else to death and destruction!


It´s just transport some rockets and weapons, send in some "Muhajideen´s" for some attacks, or Nasrallah inciting some proxy wars, or just kill some Kurds to make unrest at the border between Syria and Turkey and the carousel is starting..this has been going on the whole time Syria have occupied Lebanon and Turkey is driving back and forward on their border.

So how if people start doing something else for a living than living on making other suffer, oppression, torturing and killings, and create conditions where people are having a "resistance" against conditions where resistance is no longer needed, terrorists, terrorist organizations and weapons..Like in some Mutfi-Hitler-Genocide-Mafia-oil-cartel that have been going on since the Iranian "revolution" and Syria's occupation of Lebanon, and shelling the Israelis for 16 years and dragging the whole region in wars, terror and proxy-wars!
Wake up!


It´s obvious that the regime of Turkey have other priorities than EU with jumping into this carousel that they have started again and driving back and forward on their border on ancient paths along the waters, planting some land mines some looking like toys, while people are protesting with bloody dolls, and with the unrest clubbing, breaking arms and abuse Kurds..And yeah take another trip along the waters that no one can drink any more, while there is a proxy war in Basra.

The REAL occupiers!

25 October 2007
In a statement received by Reuters in Baghdad, the PKK said it was ready to "extend the hand of peace again and we are ready for dialogue with others to solve the issue," if Ankara stopped its military operations against Kurdish fighters.

Sunday, November 04, 2007,
DAMASUCUS (Reuters) - Security forces killed a Kurdish youth and wounded four other people in northeastern Syria while breaking up a protest against a possible Turkish incursion into Iraqi Kurdistan, witnesses and Kurdish activists said on Sunday. The incident revived the issue of longstanding Kurdish grievances in tightly controlled Syria and evoked painful memories of demonstrations and riots a few years ago that killed 30 people. Witnesses said Issa Khalil, 24, was among a group of 200 Kurds who gathered in the city of Qamishli on Friday in support of their brethren across the border in Iraq. Thousands of Kurds turned out for Khalil's funeral in Qamishly on Saturday. Witnesses said security forces surrounded the funeral procession but did not interfere. "We could be looking at more funerals, which is keeping the situation tense. Two of the four with wounds are in serious condition," a resident of the city said. Under Turkish pressure, Syria has cracked down on the PKK. A security court handed several PKK members long sentences last year in trials criticized by human rights groups as illegitimate.

March 30, 2008, Tackle the root causes..
Turkey's military hit Kurdish targets in northern Iraq with artillery and airstrikes in a two-day operation that killed at least 15 rebels, officials said Saturday. spokesman for the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, denied any rebels had been killed, saying it was a "baseless claim." "Turkish jet fighters launched airstrikes against sites at the al-Zab border area for three hours with no casualties reported," Haval Danas said. "The fighter jets have bombed old sites that witnessed fierce clashes before with the Turkish army and nobody was there."


The Kurds are a Indo-European people, related to the Persians. They inhabited the lands where they live today, 35 centuries ago. Their language is related to the Persian language and was written since the 7th century B.C. According to the latest scientific research, they are considered descendants of the Medes. Thus, they have absolutely no relation (racial, linguistic, anthropologic) to their Turkish oppressors, who are of Mongolic descent. The Mongolian attacks of the beginning of the l3th century dissolved the Kurdish states. Because of the separation into many autonomous states and the feudal organization of society, a great part of Kurdistan was later conquered by the Ottoman Empire and the rest was conquered by Persia.

In 1806 Babazade Abdul Rahman organized the first revolt against the Turks in Mosul. Since then, there have been 38 Kurdish revolts and uprisings. The greatest was that which took place in 1925, led by Sheikh Said. It lasted almost 20 months. The totalitarian regime of Kemal crushed the Kurds and drowned their revolt in blood. The Kurds were slaughtered or hanged by thousands. This is always the Turkish response to peoples demanding their independence. The Kurdish revolts in Turkey had 1.500.000 victims. There is constantly for 50 years martial law in the eastern Turkish provinces, where the Kurds live, and the district is forbidden to foreigners.

The Turkish military regime has recently intensified the oppression and extermination of Kurds. Thousands of them rot in prisons while others live in caves. It would however be wrong to believe that violence against the Kurds was less intense under the so-called democratic regime of Turkey. Policy is one and the same for any Turkish regime: The policy of extermination of every minority.

"Time is of the essence"

"Stagnation and stalemate is not the Israeli government policy it doesn't serve our own interest", Livni said.

JERUSALEM - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Sunday it is critical for Israel and the Palestinians to take "meaningful" steps to shore up the Palestinian economy and improve Israeli security if languishing efforts to reach a peace deal by the end of the year are to be reinvigorated. There is a shared responsibility here for an atmosphere and a reality that can lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state based on security for Israel and Palestinians alike and economic viability for Palestinians, Rice told a news conference with Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.

"I understand the security considerations and I would hope and I expect that we're going to be able to some things, or that Israel and the Palestinians together will be able to do some things, that are meaningful both for security and for economic viability," Rice said.

Even as Rice spoke before heading into a flurry of meetings with senior officials from both sides, Israeli officials said they would ease at least some restrictions on the movement of West Bank Palestinians as part of efforts to improve the Palestinian economy.

Israel also said it has indefinitely postponed the opening of a new police station in a sensitive area of the West Bank, where a plan to build 3,500 new housing units that may sever a future Palestinian state from its intended capital in east Jerusalem has already been frozen.

Livni said the Israeli side was prepared to act as long as there are reciprocal security steps from the Palestinians. "The idea is to ease the lives of the Palestinians, to help, as far as we can, in order to improve their lives, to advance and have progress," she said. "Like always, the formula is to do whatever we can as long as it doesn't affect our own security."

Livni also said she supported the idea of compensating Israeli settlers who agree to voluntarily leave their homes in the West Bank, though she said such a move was still premature.

Meanwhile, Israeli defense officials said they would remove a major West Bank checkpoint and dozens of smaller roadblocks, allow the Palestinians to open new police stations in areas now under Israeli control and grant more permits to Palestinian merchants for access into Israel. Easing restrictions on Palestinian movement would clear the way for economic revival projects proposed by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now a Mideast peace envoy, with the strong backing of Palestinian leaders who control the West Bank.

After meeting Livni, Rice held three-way talks with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian Prime Minister Salaam Fayyad.

Both Rice and Livni said it was important to make progress on an overall agreement as soon as possible. "Time is of the essence," Livni said. "Stagnation and stalemate is not the Israeli government policy it doesn't serve our own interest."

In addition, she expressed support for offering compensation to Israeli settlers who voluntarily want to leave their homes in the West Bank.

After her meetings in Jerusalem, Rice will make a quick trip to Amman on Sunday for talks with Jordanian King Abdullah II as well as Abbas, who is currently in Jordan. Rice then returns to Jerusalem for a three-way meeting on Monday with Livni, who is leading the Israeli negotiating team, and the Palestinian's chief negotiator Ahmed Qureia. Rice later will head back to Amman for further talks with Abbas.

Militants..

BAGHDAD - A U.S. warplane strafed snipers in the southern city of Basra, killing at least 16 suspected militants after Iraqi troops came under heavy fire, the American military said.

Iraqi police earlier claimed eight civilians, including two women and a child, had been killed in a predawn airstrike in the Hananiyah neighborhood, a known Shiite militia stronghold. But Maj. Brad Leighton, a U.S. military spokesman, said U.S. and Iraqi special operations forces had identified snipers on several roofs before the strike was ordered. An AC-130 gunship then opened fire on enemy positions on three roofs. "Initial reports indicate 16 criminal fighters were killed," he said in an e-mail response to a query by The Associated Press.The airstrike followed fierce clashes between the Iraqi security forces and Shiite militiamen, Leighton said in the first confirmation of the airstrikes by the U.S. military. Iraqi ground forces also killed four suspected militants after coming under unrelenting fire by small arms and rocket-propelled grenades during a raid in a known criminal stronghold in western Basra, Leighton said. Two women and five children were found unharmed in the targeted building, according to the statement. It added that two more extremists were killed after the Iraqi troops came under attack again from surrounding buildings. During the gunbattle, Iraqi commandos "and a supporting U.S. special forces team identified additional armed criminal elements on several rooftops in the area," and called in the airstrike, Leighton said. U.S. jets also dropped two precision-guided bombs later Saturday on a suspected militia stronghold at Qarmat Ali north of the city, British military spokesman Maj. Tom Holloway said. "My understanding was that this was a building that had people who were shooting back at Iraqi ground forces," Holloway said. Leighton said he had no further information on that airstrike.

Signs of torture..

14 more bodies found in a mass grave northeast of Baghdad, the US military said Sunday. The military said the bodies, which were found Saturday, appeared to have been in the grave for periods ranging from two to six months, and some showed signs of torture. The bodies were unearthed not far from another mass grave discovered last week in which 37 bodies were found. Mass graves have been turning up with increasing frequency as US-led operations have cleared insurgent strongholds that have allowed access to former no-go zones.

So this are the ones you are bombing. Imagine they are fighting Iran. Every women in the world should fight Iran!

Yeah yeah it´s a LOT of bullshit talk! Isn´t it..

Look what they doing to their own people! Look what they have done and are doing to the Kurds! Look how they play out people against each other! Look how they mass murder people for their own agendas and gains! Look what they doing to their neighbouring countries, look what they do to stand against agreements and peace between people, look what they have spread in their Global-Mutfi-Hitler-Collective-Genocide-Suicide!

Yeah..It´s okay for some to jail Kurds for demonstrating and claim a justification for delivering rockets and weapons for others to kill each other and others in a "resistance" to stand against peace!

It´s not that strange that Kurdish politicians, army and police forces and institutions are targeted and bombed in Iraq! Is it?

Yeah we pray on Fridays about elections against the "occupiers", nuclear against the "occupiers" and kill the rest of the week!

Just take a good look what they are doing and imagine what they can do to you!

Precision-guided..

BAGHDAD - U.S. jets widened the bombing of Basra on Saturday, dropping two precision-guided bombs on a suspected militia stronghold north of the city, British officials said. Maj. Tom Holloway, a British military spokesman, said U.S. jets dropped the two bombs on a militia position in Qarmat Ali shortly before 12:30 p.m. My understanding was that this was a building that had people who were shooting back at Iraqi ground forces," Holloway said. American forces launched their first airstrikes in Basra Friday as Iraqi troops struggled against strong resistance in the nation's commercial center and headquarters of the vital oil industry. Clashes there have sparked retaliatory fights in Baghdad and other Shiite cities. The fight for Basra is crucial for Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who flew to Basra earlier this week and is staking his credibility on gaining control of Iraq's second largest city, which has essentially been held by armed groups for nearly three years. Al-Maliki, speaking on government television Saturday, told tribal leaders in the southern city that he "will not leave Basra until security is restored" and those who have taken up arms against the government will be punished. "We will continue to stand up to these gangs in every inch of Iraq," he said. "This is a decisive and final battle."

Al-Sadr called on his followers to defy government orders to surrender their weapons, saying arms of the Mahdi Army should only be turned over to a national leadership "that can get the occupier" — meaning the Americans their coalition allies — out of Iraq. The order was made public by Haidar al-Jabiri, a member of the political commission of the Sadrist movement.

In Baghdad, Iraqi police said U.S. helicopters carried out airstrikes on the Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City Friday night. Television footage showed destroyed buildings and the smoking wreckage of at least one car.

The U.S. military said in an e-mail that the only air assault it carried out last night was in the Kazamiyah neighborhood, west of Sadr City, killing 10 militants. Iraq's Health Ministry, which is close to the Sadrist movement, on Saturday reported at least 75 civilians have been killed and at least 500 others injured in a week of clashes and airstrikes in Sadr City and other eastern Baghdad neighborhoods. The U.S. military sharply disputes the claims, having said that most of those killed were militia members.


Well..We do hope people will realize they are just used against the interests of Iraq, with a pretext that it is a "resistance" against "occupiers" that is all about destabilizing and working against a withdraw of troops and keeping the "occupiers" to be able to get influence and using people for their own "agendas" and gains and occupying themselves! JUST as it is put in system by Hamas and Iran´s and Syria´s use of them in the Palestinian territories against the Israelis! There sure is needed with some kind of dialogues among the people.


The record is long in here!

With violating human rights, continuing a genocide on both Kurds and Marsh Arabs, with using them as tools in proxy wars and for own terror actions, breaking the Geneva convention of Children´s rights, war crimes, breaking international laws, UN resolutions and against every law there is on this planet!

"The Mahdi Army"..There is no "Mahdi Army" any more..It´s the Iranian "army" working in the Iranian Global-Suicide-Mutfi-Hitler Qom "project" that is the same as al-Qaidas! And Turkey and Syria are the same damn shit!


This is a continuing of genocide with killing Kurds by Syria and Turkey! And using Marsh Arabs, playing out Shiités and people against each other as everywhere else by Iran! And using terror groups and organizations against the Israelis and against agreements between the Israelis and the Palestinians!

`Genocidal terror'....


"Help resolve a political crisis in Lebanon".. Yes that what was they did last time they occupied Lebanon for 29 years! Took credit for solving the crises themselves had caused, with occupying for 29 years after a destabilization! That what they have done for decades! Destabilized to take credit for stabilise which is a occupation! A occupation of people over the whole Middle East at the expense of every one else destruction and deaths! "You can not stabilise Iraq without Syria- We are in the middle of it". "We will "re-evaluate" our support for our own part we have added with right of return which we know shouldn´t work. And then "We need to lay down the Arab peace initiative after we have worked against peace agreements with terror and rockets"..Those are PSYCHOPATHS! SOCIOPATH - Look it up in a dictionary! We can find such among "politicians, lawyers, criminals and mass murderers! Etc..

It doesn´t "runs" in some families..It gallops!

Go to Hell Turkey!

A convoy of Turkish military vehicle is headed toward Kurdistan border. A convoy of 250 Turkish military trucks and civilian buses is headed toward the border with Iraqi Kurdistan, nearly a month after a Turkish cross-border operation against Turkey's Kurdish PKK rebels, a news agency reported Thursday. The vehicles approached the border Kurdish village of Derecik in Hakkari province on Wednesday evening, Dogan news agency said. The vehicles traveled with their headlights off, according to a news agency reporter who saw the convoy. Helicopters also ferried dozens of troops to the border from the town of Semdinli on Thursday morning, Dogan said.

Iran have shelling the Kurdish areas, "clearing the border" and calling Turkey for an "elimination" of the Kurds in the area, calling it the Israeli- Iraq. ! The "Israeli-Iraq-area", which they wants to continuing a genocide which they have done for decades in! Denying the Kurds their rights and claim to care about others rights! The very same area where rockets comes through Turkey´s border. And obvious Turkey don´t give a damn about any diplomatic efforts with the Kurdish government, international laws and human rights laws or about any stability in Iraq! Turkey have violate the Kurds human rights for decades! JUST as long as rocket and weapon transportation's have gone through their border!

The PKK demanded Turkey's recognition of the Kurds' identity in its constitution and of their language as a native language along with Turkish in the country's Kurdish areas, the party also demanded an end to ethnic discrimination in Turkish laws and constitution against Kurds, ranting them full political freedoms.

Those are basic human rights! And they asked for diplomatic solutions before you went in! It´s obvious Turkey is not interested in stability in Iraq. And there is no way we will believe Turkey have not been aware of that your border have been used for decades for rocket and weapon transportation's to Syria, which are violating human rights laws, killing Kurds, torturing and killing Kurdish politicians and clubbing demonstrators, with your little "community" with people demonstrating against the consequences of the very same rockets in Gaza with bloody dolls at the same time Turkey have planted 2.300 landmines, some looking like toys in the area!

London (KurdishMedia.com) 25 March 2008: The Islamic Republic revolutionary court sentenced 7 Kurdish detainees to 3 years imprisonment in the Kurdish City of Baneh, eastern or Iranian Kurdistan, according to the communiqué issued by the Kurdistan Democratic Party –Iran or KDPI on Tuesday. Mr. Sadiq Amin Nejad, Saman Rasoulian, Abdollah Ranjbari, Kaveh Hassani, Mohammad Bahrami, Rastgar Mesgari and Mohamad Amin Ghaderi were sentenced to various imprisonment terms for participating in demonstrations against the Islamic Republic, the communiqué stated.

"They acted against National Security, disturbed general order and participated in covert meeting," according to their verdict. They, according to the communiqué, are condemned to one year communion jail and two years unconditional jail. The victims were participating in a general demonstration on April 8, 2005 in city of Baneh. They have been held under captivity since their detainment following the demonstration. In the same demonstration, the communiqué reveals, 3 Kurds were also killed by the armed forces of the Islamic Republic.

The Kurdish National Congress of North America condemn the violence and assault of Syrian regime on the people in Western Kurdistan and demand the immediate withdrawal of all Syrian forces from the region.

During and after Newroz celebrations in the northern Kurdistan and in Turkey, Turkish security forces have not ceased torture and maltreatment in Kurdish populated cities such as Yuksekova (Gever, Colemerg), Wan and Siirt. Last week during celebrations two Kurdish civilians were killed and many people who took part in their national new year, Newroz, were maltreated and tortured in the open squares. One of those mistreated who exposed to inhuman treatment by the Turkish police was a 15 years old Kurdish youth from Gever. On the street without taking him to custody or charging him, his arm was broken by the Turkish security forces. For more than one week we have been watching these kinds of ill treatment of Kurdish people in Gever, Wan, Izmir and Sért. These repeated scenes are the real face of ruling AKP party

So it´s quite a different on resistance and "resistance"..depending in who´s interests it is in..Isn´t it..It´s okay to jail and killing Kurds for demonstrating and at the same time providing other people with weapons and rockets to stand against peace, agreements and understandings between people. And urging others to kill in a "resistance", against conditions where resistance is no longer needed! Just to be able to keep occupating people and have them occupied, using people in a claimed justified "resistance"!

We know how Basra and Iraqis as every one else are being used..

The analysis also said militia members have deeply infiltrated Basra's police units.

Some people are not that smart..Are they..

Well..It have been that for a long time..it´s just very clear now..

"Two axes"..

1 choose the righteous way..

"Two axes"..

1 choose the psychopathic murderers way..

'Genocidal terror'....

Yeah..One can say that..

To be Kurdish in Syria means you may lack a passport or other internationally recognized travel document; it means you are trapped within Syrian borders.

Use of Marsh Arabs, Shiite´s, Iraqis, Sunnis, Kurds, Palestinians, Israelis, Africans..Planting land mines that looks like toys, torturing, torturing Kurdish politicians in Syria, drive by and shootings, killings, booby trapped schools and buildings..In a Suicide-Mutfi-Hitler mix..The list is long..

Send the bill to Syria and Iran! We condemn Syria and Iran for using Iraqis and Iraq as a battlefield to commit war crimes!

We condemn Syria and Iran for using Iraqis and Iraq as well as Lebanon and Palestinian territories as battlefields to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity!

ATTENTION! We do not represent some "Oil-Cartel" in here! Those are Marsh Arabs being exposed to genocide before!

Iran and Syria with their terrorist network, hiding behind civilian populations! And don´t give us any bullshit about that there is someone else using military force because of their own political agendas, when the whole world knows Al-Sadr as well as Nasrallah and Hamas are used by Syria and Iran in their own "Qom-Suicide-Mutfi-Hitler-management" that is the same as al-Qaidas! Where you playing out Shiites against each other, targeting the Iraqi government and have give Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki no other choices than trying to restore law and order, in a destabilization at the cost of other people Iran and Syria have created as you have done in Lebanon and in the Palestinian territories as well, where you use Al-Sadr, Nasrallah and Hamas for nothing more than your own gains and dictatorship management, to be able to use people and other countries as your "out posts" with terrorist organizations and proxy-wars, JUST as al-Qaida and don´t give a damn about any human rights laws or international laws. And don´t care a second about the people that are paying the price for your own selfish purposes, but are just using them as tools and like some objects for your own use, like true psychopaths and mass murderers!

The Green Zone is again a prime target At least three civilians were killed and five others wounded, all members of the same family, on Wednesday when a Katyusha rocket....Saboteurs blew up one of Iraq's two main oil export pipelines from Basra, cutting off a third of the exports from the city which provides 80 percent of the government's revenue.

Among the weapons used in recent attacks on the Green Zone were 107mm rockets made in Iran. One official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information, said they have included rockets stamped with 2007 Iranian manufacture dates.

The the militia has recently taken delivery of new weapons supplied by backers in Iran. The arsenal, they said, included roadside bombs, anti-aircraft guns and Soviet-designed Grad rockets. They also said an infusion of cash, also from Iran, helped the militia set up new command centers equipped with Internet-linked computers, fax machines and satellite mobile phones. They have also received global positioning system devices. "We are now better organized, have better weapons, command centers and easy access to logistical and financial support.


Hezbollah: We're ready for war with Israel
Hezbollah chief: Our reach spans every point in Israel

Hamas militants who recently returned to the Gaza Strip after training in Iran have a detailed plan for upgrading the capabilities of the rockets being developed in the Strip. Members of Hamas' military wing smuggled blueprints and other detailed technical instructions into the Strip that will enable the group to develop rockets capable of striking at longer distances, the aim is to strike at communities north of Ashkelon, which is approximately 15 kilometers north of the northern border of the Strip.

Iran is investing significant efforts in trying to increase the striking distance of the rockets manufactured by Palestinians in Gaza. Iran has smuggled more Katyushas, made by its own military industries, into the Strip by sea, and has also stepped up its efforts to develop more effective rockets locally in the Strip.

Hamas militants who recently returned to the Gaza Strip after training in Iran have a detailed plan for upgrading the capabilities of the rockets

Hamas militants who recently returned to the Gaza Strip after training in Iran have a detailed plan for upgrading the capabilities of the rockets being developed in the Strip. Members of Hamas' military wing smuggled blueprints and other detailed technical instructions into the Strip that will enable the group to develop rockets capable of striking at longer distances, the aim is to strike at communities north of Ashkelon, which is approximately 15 kilometers north of the northern border of the Strip.

Israeli security sources said recently that Iran´s suicide of Islam militants in the Gaza Strip have developed their own upgraded version of the Qassam rocket, with an estimated range of 18 kilometers. Iran is investing significant efforts in trying to increase the striking distance of the rockets manufactured by Palestinians in Gaza. Iran has smuggled more Katyushas, made by its own military industries, into the Strip by sea, and has also stepped up its efforts to develop more effective rockets locally in the Strip. The technical information for improving the rockets was smuggled into the Strip following January's breach in the Philadelphi Route wall, which separates the Gaza Strip from Sinai and Egypt. The source added that some 200 Hamas militants who received training in Iran, the Beqa'a Valley in Lebanon, and Syria, returned to the Strip through this breach in the wall. Hamas and Hezbollah militants are being trained in Iran together, and are learning the same fighting doctrines. In addition to the experts in rocket development, militants with specialized training in guerrila warfare also snuck back into the Strip. These men received specialized training in the use of anti-tank missiles, laying road-side bombs, and tactics for carrying out defensive operations against a possible IDF invasion of the Strip. A PA sources said that it is possible that among those who returned after the breach in the wall to the Strip are members of PFLP-GC.

Three Kassam rockets were fired at Israel from the northern Gaza Strip on Friday morning, one of them hitting the outer wall of a preschool in one of the kibbutzim in the Sha'ar Hanegev region, moments after the children were taken inside by their teacher. Two other Kassam rockets that were fired at the western Negev landed in open areas, causing no casualties or damage. Earlier, a Palestinian gunman was killed and another was wounded in an exchange of fire with IDF troops in the southern Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources said.

U.S. condemns fatal attack by Syrian security forces on Syrian Kurds

Washington - The United States condemned the killing of three Kurds March 20 by Syrian security forces following cultural celebrations in the northeastern city of Qamishli. 'We call upon the Syrian government to refrain from using violent measures to repress Kurdish civilians and to open a full, independent investigation of the incident,' State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Friday.

The Syrian Human Rights Monitor said the violence began after a group of youths celebrating the Kurdish new year Nayroz began arguing with police, who responded by firing into the crowd, killing three and wounding five people.

It´s the same "agenda" from Iran and Syria, playing out people against each other and then accuses others for their own actions..

BAGHDAD - U.S. forces stepped deeper Friday into the Iraqi government's fight to cripple Shiite militias, launching airstrikes in the southern city of Basra and firing a missile into the main Shiite stronghold in Baghdad.

The American support occurred as Iraqi troops struggled against strong resistance in Basra and retaliation elsewhere in Shiite areas — including more salvos of rockets or mortars into the U.S.-protected Green Zone in Baghdad. It was the first time American jets have been called to attack militia positions since Iraqi ground forces launched an operation Tuesday to clear Basra of the armed groups that have effectively ruled the streets of the country's second-largest city for nearly three years.

One militia barrage slammed into the headquarters of the Basra police command late Friday, triggering a huge fire and explosions when one of the rounds struck a gasoline tanker, police officials said. Earlier Friday, U.S. jets struck a building housing militia fighters and blasted a mortar team that was firing on Iraqi forces, British military spokesman Maj. Tim Holloway said without further details.

Many of those groups receive weapons, money and training from nearby Iran, the world's most populous Shiite nation.

The crackdown in Basra has provoked a violent reaction — especially from the Mahdi Army of anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. His followers accuse rival Shiite parties in the government of trying to crush their movement before provincial elections this fall. Their anger has led to a sharp increase in attacks against American troops in Shiite areas following months of relative calm after al-Sadr declared a unilateral cease-fire last August.

Before dawn Friday, a U.S. aircraft fired a Hellfire missile in the Sadr City district — the Baghdad stronghold of the Mahdi Army — after gunmen there opened fire on an American patrol. The U.S. military said the missile strike killed four militants, but Iraqi officials said nine civilians were killed and nine others wounded. Another U.S. airstrike targeted a rocket-propelled grenade mounted vehicle in the mostly Sunni neighborhood of Azamiyah, killing two militants, the military said separately. U.S. military officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss Pentagon assessments, said commanders are wary of bringing major firepower into Shiite areas such as Sadr City, fearing large-scale civilian casualties could bring more backlash through Baghdad. But, the officials said, American forces are more willing to offer air support in Basra, which is the centerpiece of the current showdown.

Defying a curfew in Baghdad, Shiite extremists lobbed more rockets or mortars against the U.S.-protected Green Zone, which has come under steady barrages this week. The attacks prompted the State Department to order embassy personnel to stay inside. At least two rounds Friday struck the Green Zone offices of Sunni Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi, killing two guards and wounding four, his daughter and executive secretary Lubna al-Hashemi said. In all, the U.S. military said 13 suspected militants were killed Friday and 26 on Thursday in Baghdad operations.

"As you know, we've been getting attacked and going after the enemy all day," said Maj. Mark Cheadle, a spokesman for the Baghdad area command. An American soldier was fatally injured Friday in a roadside bombing south of Baghdad, the military reported without elaboration. The area is religiously mixed, and it was unclear whether he was killed in a Shiite district. At least 26 people were killed Friday in fierce fighting in the southern cities of Mahmoudiya, Nasiriyah and Kut, according to police and army officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the information.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite who once maintained close ties to al-Sadr, flying to the city five days ago to assume personal command of the operation there. Al-Maliki has vowed there would be "no retreat" in Basra, the nation's commercial center and headquarters of the vital oil industry. In Washington, President Bush said the battle against Shiite extremists presents "a defining moment in the history of Iraq" and a "necessary part of the development of a free society." The United States has called the Basra campaign an important test of Iraq's ability to handle its own security affairs.

Al-Maliki's office announced a new deal, offering Basra residents unspecified monetary compensation if they turn over "heavy and medium-size weapons" by April 8. Masked militia fighters, meanwhile, moved around freely in a southwestern neighborhood and there was little traffic, according to Associated Press Television News footage. Residents complained of rising food prices and power shortages. The government relaxed a days-old curfew in Basra to allow people to move around in the city from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. to facilitate shopping and other necessary tasks. "The situation was better this morning so I went to a small market near my house. I was surprised that the price of vegetables and meat had gone up fivefold," said Ziyad Khalid, 27. Hamid Saaid, 47, said he saw dozens of people lined up for bread and to fill canisters with clean water from a tanker truck.

In Baghdad, the Sunni speaker of Iraq's parliament called a special legislative session Friday in hopes of launching an initiative to negotiate a peaceful end to the Basra fighting. But the main Shiite political bloc, the United Iraqi Alliance, and its Kurdish allies refused to attend. The alliance includes al-Maliki's party and the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, the main political rival to al-Sadr's movement. With so few lawmakers attending, parliament could approve no binding resolutions but instead established a committee to explore ways to mediate a settlement. The initiative was spearheaded by former prime minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari, who brought al-Sadr's followers into the government under his administration. Al-Maliki has insisted the fight is targeting criminal gangs in Basra, not al-Sadr's movement. However, al-Sadr's followers sharply condemned the prime minister during sermons Friday in mosques across the country. "He imprisoned and displaced thousands of Iraqi people under the name of democracy. He is killing the citizens in the south of Iraq," Sheik Jalil al-Sarghi said, referring to al-Maliki as U.S. helicopters buzzed over the office where the prayer service was held.

UNITED NATIONS

(Reuters) - A network of individuals was responsible for killing former Lebanese prime minister Rafik al-Hariri in 2005 and was linked to other political murders in Lebanon, U.N. investigators said on Friday.

The finding came in the latest report by a U.N. commission set up to investigate the Hariri assassination and related cases and was distributed to the U.N. Security Council on Friday. "The commission can now confirm, on the basis of available evidence, that a network of individuals acted in concert to carry out the assassination of ... Hariri and that this criminal network -- the 'Hariri network' -- or parts thereof are linked to some of the other cases," the report said. The panel said it had evidence the network existed before the Hariri killing, conducted surveillance of him before he was killed and continued, at least in part, to operate afterward. The report was the 10th to be issued by the commission but the first since Canadian Daniel Bellemare took charge of the panel from Belgium's Serge Brammertz.

Former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri was assassinated by a criminal network that is linked to other terrorist attacks in Lebanon, the chief U.N. investigator into the matter said Friday. In his first report to the U.N. Security Council, Daniel Bellemare said that a so-called "Hariri Network" conducted surveillance of Hariri and that some continued to operate after he was killed along with 22 others in a 2005 bombing in Beirut. Bellemare said the commission would not disclose any names to preserve confidentiality. Bellemare said that the first priority of the investigating commission he heads is to gather more evidence about the network, its scope, the identity of all its participants, their role in other attacks and links with people outside the network. Four pro-Syrian Lebanese generals have been under arrest for almost two years for alleged involvement in the murder. Syria denies any involvement in Hariri's assassination, but the furor over the attack forced Syrian troops to withdraw from Lebanon after a 29-year presence. Bellemare said Syria's cooperation with the commission "continues to be generally satisfactory." The commission has been providing technical assistance to Lebanese authorities in 20 other "terrorist attacks" that have killed 61 people and wounded at least 494 others, he said.

In the coming months, Bellemare said, the commission also will focus on identifying links between the Hariri network and the other attacks it is helping to investigate. The chief investigator said the commission also has pursued its investigation into the identification of the suicide bomber.

A "resistance against the occupiers" so there can be no conditions where resistance is not needed!

BAGHDAD - Warning sirens wail and within seconds rockets and mortars strike — sometimes one or two, other times 10 or more. The Green Zone is again a prime target as American and British diplomats, Iraqi politicians, contractors and others struggle to go about their business — always aware that any time they are outside the most fortified buildings there is a chance to be injured or killed.

For the fourth day this week, suspected Shiite militiamen sent rockets and mortars into the Green Zone in central Baghdad. The volleys on Thursday began in the morning and came in about once an hour well into nightfall. The attacks on the Green Zone are being carried out in tandem with growing clashes between Iraqi government forces and the Mahdi Army militia led by anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. By bombarding the Green Zone, the followers of al-Sadr are not only targeting the Iraqi government, but also the hub of the American political mission and its influence on the Iraqi government.

At least one death was reported inside the Green Zone in the latest attacks. Embassy spokeswoman Mirembe Nantongo said a U.S. government employee was killed, but would give no further details until relatives are notified. Another American, a financial analyst who audited contracts in Iraq, was killed Sunday in the zone, the embassy and relatives said earlier this week. One explosion Thursday ignited a fire in the central area of the zone that sent a massive column of thick, black smoke drifting over the Tigris River. Military and diplomatic officials would not say what had been hit inside the Green Zone. A U.S. military statement said one civilian was killed and 14 wounded "in the vicinity" of the protected district.

U.S. military officials said Thursday that among the weapons used in recent attacks on the Green Zone were 107mm rockets made in Iran. One official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information, said they have included rockets stamped with 2007 Iranian manufacture dates.

The first wave of rockets this week came on Easter Sunday. The Green Zone — and areas nearby — have barely had a breather since. On Sunday, at least 12 Iraqis were killed that day outside the Green Zone, apparently by salvos that went astray. The last sustained attacks on the Green Zone were in July when extremists unleashed a barrage of more than a dozen mortars or rockets, killing at least three people — including an American — and wounding 18. Security forces know where the firing is from: mainly Shiite districts in eastern Baghdad. The attacks come from deep inside residential neighborhoods, making it difficult to counterattack without risking widespread civilian casualties. Also, the rockets and mortars are fired from mobile launchers, meaning militants can speedily move away from the launch area before soldiers can respond. Last May, an explosion from a rocket rattled windows in the U.S. Embassy while Vice President Dick Cheney was visiting. In the same month, a blast hit the British Embassy compound when then Prime Minister Tony Blair arrived.


In March, a rocket or mortar round landed near Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's office while he and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon were holding a news conference. Ban ducked behind a podium as small chips of debris floated down from the ceiling. Attacks against the zone have also renewed concern about security at the new U.S. Embassy, which is due to open this year within a protected area along the Tigris. The embassy will be Washington's largest and most expensive foreign mission.


The militia has recently taken delivery of new weapons supplied by backers in Iran. The arsenal, they said, included roadside bombs, anti-aircraft guns and Soviet-designed Grad rockets. They also said an infusion of cash, also from Iran, helped the militia set up new command centers equipped with Internet-linked computers, fax machines and satellite mobile phones. They have also received global positioning system devices, "We are now better organized, have better weapons, command centers and easy access to logistical and financial support." The commander sipped sweet black tea as a U.S. helicopter flew low overhead. A burst of gunfire rang out at one point. Another moment, he listened to the screech of a rocket. "That's going to the Green Zone," he said.


This is just another "resistance against the occupiers" so there can be no conditions where resistance is not needed! And a work against a stabilisation so the US can withdraw from Iraq! It´s a part of the Qom "plan" that was hatched a long time ago and that Nasrallah with links to al-Qaida, with Syria´s involvement have taking into Lebanon. And that Hamas are practising from the terror nest in Damascus and Gaza, or "Little Red Baghdad" as they like to call it. And it´s concluded in that plan that The United States would respond when they where declared war on. Because this is the same damn "plan" and Global-Suicide of Islam as al-Qaidas! And they are using every one else they can, even people like the Marsh Arabs that have committed genocide crimes on!

And Hamas thinks they are some exception or that it is about "the Palestinian cause", when it´s all about them living on their own peoples death and destruction JUST as Nasrallah and the Syrian and Iranian regimes! While Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal, in exile in Syria are urging Arab leaders to support its fight with Israel, at the same time he says they are willing to consider truce. And are laying the blame on the Israelis of the siege of Gaza and there are coming rockets to Hezbollah and Iranian trained people working on to develop rockets with wider range in Gaza!

And now..

After there have been Iranian rockets firing on the Iraqi government US is launching air strikes in the southern city of Basra..And being used in the Iranian and Syria´s regimes plague they have spread over the whole region, with using people in a "resistance" against conditions where resistance is no longer needed. Yes what´s you do ..fueling al-Sadr and the Iranian and Syrian psychopathic regimes. Just like Hamas and Nasrallah are attacking just to get responses to be able to use their own people in a "resistance". Theses people are living on their own peoples destruction and death! And the Iranian and Syrian regimes living on every other peoples destruction and death.

While there are coming in rockets at Turkey´s border, people are demonstrating with bloody dolls, while there are landmines being planted looking like toys, and the Iranian regime sacrificing Marsh Arabs in their death cult they have spread. Working against conditions so there can be a withdraw of troops, just to attack to get responses, sacrificing Marsh Arabs and every one else, while the Iranian president do as one could assume the devil would do- - blame someone else, pointing at some one else to be the "Great Satan", stands and points at some one else and at the same time being responsible for taking people into a "resistance against the occupiers". JUST the same way they have learned Nasrallah and Hamas, to incite proxy wars and attacks, weapon and rockets and making sure there are conditions of death and destruction that serves in his own interests.

We can tell you that Iranian president, his "adviser", those Iranian and Syrian regimes spreading their plague are more devilish than any one could ever imagine! They are just using any ones they can for their own gains and agendas. These are truly psychopaths and mass murderers!

BAGHDAD - Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's office says the Iraqi government has given residents of Basra until April 8 to turn over "heavy and medium-size weapons" in return for a reward. The move appears to be aimed at noncombatants who may have weapons like machine guns and grenade launchers, either for smuggling purposes or to sell to militants or criminal gangs. The statement says Basra residents will get unspecified monetary compensation if the weapons are turned over before the expiry of the deadline.

U.S. forces were drawn deeper into Iraq's four day-old crackdown on Shi'ite militants on Friday, launching air strikes in Basra for the first time and battling militants in Baghdad. The fighting has exposed a deep rift within Iraq's majority Shi'ite community and put pressure on Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, whose forces have failed to dislodge fighters loyal to cleric Moqtada al-Sadr from Iraq's second largest city. Iraqi authorities shut down Baghdad with a strict curfew on Friday which seemed to reduce the rocket and mortar barrages that have wreaked havoc in the capital this week. Lawmakers, including those loyal to Sadr, met to seek an end to the impasse.

A Reuters witness said Mehdi Army gunmen had seized control of Nassiriya, capital of the southerly Dhi Qar province. Mehdi Army fighters have held territory or fought with authorities in Kut, Hilla, Amara, Kerbala, Diwaniya and other towns throughout the Shi'ite south over the past several days. In Baghdad there have been clashes in at least 13 mainly Shi'ite neighborhoods, especially Sadr City. U.S. forces said they killed 27 fighters in operations in the capital on Thursday. In Nassiriya, a Reuters reporter said he could see groups of fighters with machineguns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers. The sound of sporadic gunfire echoed through the streets. Police appeared to be staying in their stations. Militants have also taken control of the town of Shatra, 40 km to the north, he said, citing witnesses.

"All those who have heavy and intermediate weapons are to deliver them to security sites and they will be rewarded financially," Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said in a statement issued by his office. Parliament speaker Mahmoud Mashhadani said representatives of Shi'ite and Sunni parties, including those loyal to Sadr, had agreed to attend a special session at 3 p.m. (1200 GMT).

Sadr's followers have staged a "civil disobedience" campaign, forcing schools and shops to shut, and Sadr has threatened a "civil revolt" if the crackdown is not halted.
