Most of the Iraqis aren't here today because of the curfew. Plus, they usually aren't here on Fridays. One of them who lives here on base and monitors the Arabic TV news and websites says he hasn't heard anything about this.
hopefully, its just a PR stunt where the bad guys make sure no ones around, they all go running into the town square with their guns/RPGs, fire into the air, with a Reuters reporter nearby . . . and then they all go scurrying back home.
One way or the other, its a little discouraging the news about Maliki extending the deadline.
