Didn't the New York Times tell us this morning that the inhabitants of Basra loved Saddam?

Oh no! How many more of these crushing defeats can our forces take? Nothing left to do now except surrender. </hysterical Chicken Little quagmire mode>

[oyez]

Will someone please tell the dope on Basra. We got. We don't got it. We got it. Irregulars have taken it. No, Shites have it. What the Hell?

[areafiftyone]

Wow!

[Interesting Times]

Outstanding!

This will greatly simplify our work in Basra. Also, nothing will shut the leftists up quicker than scenes of the Iraqi people rising up against their oppressors.

[Walkin Man]

LETS ROLL!

I want to see Iraqi freedom fighters alongside our forces wasting Saddam and his devils!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

You forgot to mention that Fox reported that the British Army artillery is working with the uprising.

[TonyInOhio]

British Army briefing underway at present.

Approximately 1000 irregular forces in the city, along with some elements of the 51st Regular Army.

MEGA BUMP!!

The NY Slimes is in the process of losing one of their best butt buddies and cash cows, their Uncle Soddomite!

I would believe that fat liar the Iraqis trot on tv before I believed anything the NY Slimes said about this war.

[areafiftyone]

Any more info for us cubically challenged?

[Enterprise]

Ah, the smell of victory in the air. And speaking of "Let's roll," watch the Baath party heads start rolling in Basra.

[McGruff]

We better make sure we give them all the support they need to win or will never win the trust of the Iraqi people.

[Billthedrill]

The Iranians are in this now, and they aren't going to help the guy who killed 300,000 of their people. There will be a problem in the post-war Iraq, keeping the current occupants of that city from turning it over to Tehran, but that is for another day.

[Greenpees]

I SO hope this is true. Bush/Blair need a PR break, real bad.

[Grampa Dave]

Good Shiite happens sometimes. It sounds like Good Shiite is happening in Bashra.

[First_Salute]

Bump.

[sanchmo]

The handwriting is on the wall:
Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin.

[30-06 Springfield]

Way to go.

"All your Basra are belong to us..."

[Jeff Head]

This is EXACTLY how our forces need to handle the urban issues in the Shiite south. Let them take care of their own laundry, and support them to the max as they carry it out.

If they do well and exterminate the fascists Saddamites amongst them, and if we give unwaivering support .... then it will spread to other cities and locals in the north and south as well.
