Baghdad governor says suspends cooperation with US

BAGHDAD, March 27 (Reuters) - Baghdad provincial governor Hussein al-Tahan said on Monday he would suspend all cooperation with U.S. forces until an independent investigation is launched into the killing of 20 Shi'ites in a mosque.

"Today we decided to stop all political and service cooperation with the U.S. forces until a legal committee is formed to investigate this incident," he told reporters, adding that the inquiry panel should include the U.S. embassy and the Iraqi defence ministry but not the U.S. military.

OK! US, suspend your activities and go home. Let them figure it out for themselves. Those thankless arabs!

I think France needs our help..... now...

20 Shi'ites?

If Shiites are killed, you can pretty much depend on the murder being a sunnie.
