“After being there 16 years were still locked in our compounds unable to go out. This wasnt handled well.”
Not true at all. There’s the Babylonian restaurant right across the street from the Embassy. Great roast chicken. They put the roasters out on the sidewalk during the day. Just can’t walk there.
As for rockets, well, in 2004 Camp Victory would get up to 30 a day. Blind squirrel fire control but they did get lucky once and a while. Making a news article about a single rocket (probably fired from Sadr city westard) doesn’t smell right. What week isn’t there a rocket fired from Sadr city to the west landing in the IZ? And it’s the “IZ” not the “Green Zone”. The “Green Zone” is Western journalists replaying the term for Beirut where the West eventually lost and had to withdraw. Realize the MSM is always aligned against Western civilization, always.
Why can’t they walk there?
