I was standing outside with neighbours yesterday afternoon gossiping when a car drove by, threw a couple of fliers at us, shouting "read them, may Allah increase your reward". The fliers were signed by a group which called itself Saif Allah Albattar (Allah's striking sword) at Ramadi, Fallujah, Adhamiya, and Diyala, which advised Iraqis to remain home on April 9th (the anniversary of the occupation), stating that they would not be responsible if anyone failed to do so.

I seem to recall that our soldiers would say that just as they got attacked, wherever the attack was, the local villagers would somehow know about it in advance, and stayed clear.

...we are all doomed.

Goes without saying!

sorry, i couldn't resist..

[AntiGuv]

BTW, regardless of what, if anything, is up for April 9, it's worth noting that it's not very encouraging if both Al-Sistani and Al-Hakim have turned against us. Not that those Iranian proxies were ever all that reliable, but still..

They are planning a mass suicide. You've heard of "suicide
by cop" - well, this is "suicide by Marine". The past few days have been preparation work, to get the Marines mad enough to make sure that as many rug pilots as possible are able to successfully get killed by Marines so they can get their 72 virgins as soon as possible.

Yes heads up for April 15th. Whoops, I mean April 9th. It's hard keeping enemies straight these days.

[Fledermaus]

The only thing in store for the enemy is dying.

Immediately? Doomed? Guy is smoking something. These nutjobs will be dusted just like the round of open confrontation rebels were last summer, and before them the rocket scientists who charged M-1s in pickup trucks. We can blow away every person in the country with ease if they come to get it, if that is what they want. But they won't. A few thousand will commit suicide by Marine, at 100 to 1 exchange ratios. The rest won't be quite so certain about Allah and his rewards.

Remember the days when every time you hear an Iraqi talk on TV you had to remember that they are talking with a Mukhabarat minder looking at them noting every word? We are back to that place.

You have to be careful about what you say about al-Sadir. Their hands reach every where and you don't want to be on their shit list. Every body, even the GC is very careful how they formulate their sentences and how they describe Sadir's Militias. They are thugs, thugs thugs. There you have it.

I was listening to a representative of al-sadir on TV saying that the officers at police stations come to offer their help and swear allegiance. Habibi, if they don't they will get killed and their police station "liberated". Have we forgotten the threat al-Sadir issued that Iraqi security forces should not attack their revolutionary brothers, or they will have to suffer the consequences.

Dear US administration,
Welcome to the next level. Please don't act surprised and what sort of timing is that it: planning to go on a huge attack on the west of Iraq and provoking a group you know very well (I pray to god you knew) that they are trouble makers.

Iraqi Fighters Planning Friday Attack, Corriere Della Sera Says

[Cold Heat]

I suspect that this may be a second wave.

We have the first under the bridge now and are mopping up.

This may be one last attempt to expand the group of suiciders.

Bring it on, and let's get this over with so we can all have our families back together and Iraq can get it's country going in the right direction for a change.

Perhaps even a shining star in the Middle east.

May God continue to bless us and our mission.
