Just monitored on Sky News: embedded reporter says Shiites in Basra have begun, in his words, a "popular uprising" against the Saddam forces still in the city. British Army units are "pouring" artillery into the city (likely isolated areas) preparing to move in.

You remeber that this is what democrats think the next time you are nice to a liberal.
Superficial niceties is all the liberals deserve. Turn them away when they are looking for work and hire conservatives who love this country.
All Liberals hate America because they hate themselves.

Don't count that out yet, my friend.
Too much disinformation.

i turned to cnn for just a few seconds and heard some pbs-type, narrating in the typical limp fashion, saying " . . . a reminder that wespons have no conscience." which made me wish he were here -- i'd show what an axe handle with a conscience could do to his friggin' teeth!

Great rant and welcome to Good Shiite is happening or the Shiites pull the plug on the Baathists in Bashra.
This is a preview of what will be happening soon in Baghdad.

While I agree this is encouraging, let's not get too ahead of ourselves. Baghdad awaits. I agree. Baghdad is waiting and the American and British troops need our prayers for that battle! But after everything that has happened the past few days we needed this! Thank you British Soldiers!

I think it will start a domino effect across Bagdad.

MSNBC says that DIA sources say the uprising might be against coalition forces as much as against Saddam's. Ugh.

Paula Zahn....isn't she the [unprintable word] who yelled,"Yay!" on camera on election night 2000 when initial reports of Gore taking FL were released? IIRC, she bounced up and down on her a$$ in her chair like a misbehaving 6 year old...A nauseating sight, in a woman of her age.

The Swiss federation of its 21 (?) cantons is the proper model for a post-war Iraq. Some of the Swiss cantons are majority German, some majority French, a few majority Italian. Switzerland managed to survive both World War I and World War II without turning into a continual bloodbath, despite those antagonisms among its own population. That is exactly the result that we should seek in post-war Iraq. "Loose federalism" means a very high degree of independence for local governance for each of these groups, WITHIN THE AREAS WHERE THEY ARE DOMINANT, but without any ability to overwhelm the others in their areas.

Amanpour is the War Slut. She'll probably have to off herself in the event of any good news for us, the good guys.

Our Pyschops guys should take videos and pictures of the barbequed Ba'athists and distribute them all over Baghdad as a coming attraction. Good suggestion.

Actually this is beyond an enema, it is in diplomatic terms, pulling the plug.
Finally after 2+ decades of being murdered, raped, beaten and starved by Saddam's Baathists, justice is being delivered in Iraq. This is just the beginning. There will be no expensive war crime trials.

Can we take over the baghdad tv station and show how the Shi'ites are fighting with the allied forces against the evil doers. If we can, maybe baghdad and the rest will do the same.

Young Iranians are avid web surfers. Please pass along to folks that Iranians indeed do visit sites like FR. Do we want them to think we wish them any ill?
NO!
Jim Robinson, Admin. Moderator, please advise FReepers to be careful about what they say about the Iranian people.
We only wish for their liberation, NOT their destruction!
