Allawi is going to be forced to do something about those scum in Fallujah.
If he can bring the rest of the Iraqis together (moderate Sunni, Kurds and Shiites) to demand something be done, then maybe the Iraqis (with some assistance from us) can finally drop the hammer on these animals.
All I can say is good hunting to these tribesmen.
Very interesting. This has been building for weeks. The Shia are right that the media ignored this story--Arab and Western alike. Fallujah needs to be addressed pronto by the interim government.
I wonder if tribesmen, living in camelskin-tents and brandishing AK-47's, have any need for a veteren C#.NET programmer / analyst with experience in MS SQL 2000?
I better send my resume.
Wow.
Crispy critters.
Fallujah ... your time is coming.
All you need to hunt jihadi in Fallujah is a cell phone. Deliver the coordinates and the Americans will create a hole in the ground.
"..because you seek independence. In this way we will make it easier for you.
...we will kill the owners of companies, offices, and businessmen who are natives of your area but who now reside in the south, the Central Euphrates region, and Baghdad. We will kill any of you who enter Baghdad or are now residing in Baghdad or our other provinces. If this is what you want, then it is your choice."
Let it never be said that the new Iraqi government does not seek to be helpful to its citizens. ; )
" In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful."
I have begun to hate hearing this. Stoning people, cutting off their hands, their heads. There is nothing compassionate or merciful about this "god", nor those who follow it. I know, I've gone over the edge.
Sure, but only if you can program in RPG or AK-47.
IBM AS/400 DB/2s ARE coded in RPG, really.
May, Saint Gabriel Possenti, steady their hands and sharpen their eyes.
Kind'a sounds like a Declaration. Better that the Iraqis level Faluja than the US. The US needs to be changing the focus to Syria.
I did not know that. Hopefully not as deadly.
I heard about this happening a couple of weeks ago and knew there was going to be trouble. Now the tribes of Fallujah have the Shiia AND the Kurds against them. It would behove them to straighten up their act pretty quick or the reason they won't be part of the new Iraq is not because they want their own independent city, it'll be because they are dead.
If we did do that, then every Iraqi in the country would be calling his rival's location in... I think we are a little more careful than that.
It has to do with a violation of the ancient laws of hospitality. Our father Abraham extended hospitality to the stranger. He is not an enemy until proven otherwise. And what the people of Fallujah did was to turn a stranger into an enemy by spurning hospitality as well as honor towards someone from another tribe. Hospitality and honor are significant themes in the Middle East and they loom large not only in the Koran but in the Bible. The people of Fallujah may in the end be doomed if they do not adhere to these laws. And that will be their choice.
Gang fight
Bangers, smugglers, killers vs the rest. Guess who will win.
