   So more of U.S war crimes and crimes against humanity.

   U.S folks out there you need more actions to get your troops home, you need more actions to stop the war crimes done in your name, you need more actions to stop let­ting your gov­ern­ment killing Iraqis in order for YOU to con­tinue to have access to oil. Show some real actions in the streets day and night untill you stop your war crimes in Iraq.

   Another fishy case: The Sadr city mas­sacre … A Black Oper­a­tion by the Amer­i­can Intel­li­gence?:

   The Amer­i­can forces had pro­vided an air cover, with sev­eral drones cir­cling the Sadr city, and then cut­ting off all wire­less com­mu­ni­ca­tion through­out Sadr city, just before the set­ting off of the six car explo­sions that resulted in the death of around 60 peo­ple and the injury of 200 oth­ers in Sadr city on Sunday.

   Recon­struct­ing Iraq: Elec­tric­ity hits three-year low in Iraq:

   The over­stressed net­work is pro­duc­ing less than half the elec­tric­ity needed to meet Iraq’s explod­ing demand. Amer­i­can experts are work­ing hard to shore up the system’s weak­nesses as 100-degree-plus tem­per­a­tures approach begin­ning as early as May, dri­ving up usage of air con­di­tion­ing, elec­tric fans and refrigeration.

   The decline of Iraq’s elec­tri­cal sys­tem can be traced back at least to the 1991 Gulf War, when U.S. war­planes tar­geted the grid. The gov­ern­ment rebuilt the sys­tem to pro­duce 4,400 megawatts, still short of demand. But dam­age from the 2003 inva­sion — and par­tic­u­larly from loot­ing that fol­lowed — knocked pro­duc­tion down to 3,200 megawatts and wrecked trans­mis­sion lines.

   The Army engi­neers who rolled into Iraq in 2003 found power plants barely oper­at­ing, lack­ing spare parts and suf­fer­ing from years of neglect brought on by U.N. trade sanc­tions. They brought in con­trac­tors to upgrade instal­la­tions, but the loot­ing and sab­o­tage went on. Insur­gents attacked fuel pipelines. Other Iraqis top­pled trans­mis­sion tow­ers to keep power in their own cities and away from Baghdad.

   Rubin: How do you know that the Iraqi is report­ing it wrong and not Sgt. Simon?

   The Amer­i­cans are the ones who have a track record of lying.… remem­ber those imag­i­nary WMDs?

   Amaz­ing how you think the US troops there would remem­ber every­thing cor­rectly, under all cir­cum­stances, and then be totally hon­est in how they report it to the media. And then, on top of that, you accuse the Iraqi resis­tance of hid­ing behind women and children.

   We have seen dozens of sto­ries of US troops shoot­ing at cars or trucks approach­ing them (or a check­point) where they shoot ‘em up.… and the car occu­pants turn out to be unarmed.

   And, I am sure, we don’t hear of hun­dreds of more sto­ries like that.

   VIDEO SHOWS IRAQI CHILDREN PLAYING WITH REMAINS OF U.S. SOLDIER

   It’s not Amer­i­cans bod­ies you see in the video.

   2) The (chrome) horn in the video is not a Humvee part. It’s prob­a­bly the horn of a Hi-Lux, or other ISF vehicle.

   3) The boot? ISF wear the same boots US troops do.

   Ques­tion:

   eg. West Bank, Ramadi Iraq etc. where Arabs han­dle dead body parts in or around burned out vehi­cles a Arab *cul­tural* thingy?

   […] Always liked your sense of humour Jef­frey. Btw, do you still pray “hol­lowed be thy name”?Man man man… what a saga in Iraq, isn’t it? Say that we’ve been fol­low­ing it for 2 1/2 years now… and we’re still around. Vets, so to say.I don’t know what to make of it any­more. There’s all this scary stuff ITM, Zeyad and Alaa are post­ing about, and then I just read a Ralph Peters col­umn say­ing almost the oppo­site. So what’s really going on? If I’d trust CNN, I’d say any moment now a civil war will break out.Continue to blog Jef­frey. My best to you over there in The Big Apple. Hope that you, a self-proclamied athe­ist, may find in your old days some con­so­la­tion in faith. I’m not a pillar-biter, don’t even reg­u­larly visit churches, but still it works for me.Outlaw Mike | Email | Home­page | 03.14.06 — 5:20 pm | # Out­law Mike,It’s really nice to hear from an old blog-buddy like you. Yes, we’ve been at this get­ting close to three years. Man, talk about the ups and downs! For me, the one that hurt the most was, of course, when the Iraqi gov­ern­ment let Muq­tada Al-Sadr waltz out of Najaf after the killing spree he had gone on. But I under­stand that the gov­ern­ment was weak at the time and really didn’t have the mus­cle, I imag­ine, to take on the respon­si­bil­ity. And now Sadr is prob­a­bly too strong to take him out. But it still could work out fine — and cer­tainly each of those elec­tions has been fan­tas­tic to see. I’m still oddly opti­mistic. I think in the next two months a par­lia­ment will be seated with a prime min­is­ter and a pres­i­dent and slowly law and order will be imposed and Iraqis will begin build­ing a democ­racy of their own in the Mid­dle East. Call me crazy, I guess.Yes, I’ve tried to keep my sense of humor — thanks for men­tion­ing that! — but some­times even I get down when Iraqis get killed by ter­ror­ists and fat­heads like Muqty blame the US for the deaths. That’s tough to take. The other night I was talk­ing to my par­ents about some­thing and my Dad said, “Well, we’re all God’s chil­dren.” And I have to admit it was a nice thought. I under­stood what he meant even though I don’t believe in the deus ex machina super­struc­ture. We all have our fail­ings and yet we are accepted by those who love us.P.S. I occa­sion­ally see some of the old gang here and there on the com­ments pages. I always smile and say hello. *Jef­frey — New York | Email | Home­page | 03.14.06 — 5:39 pm | # Hey Outlaw!Did you get my email?Get pack­ing! .Jeff,That’s really cool, the lit­tle link you added, thanks for that.

Replied!Jacques Brel (a big favorite) would believe in God only when he had a tooth ache he said in one of his songs. Michael knows him well, I bet!I like him. He was a Brux­el­lois, a fran­coph­one, not 100% a Wal­loon. His mother tongu was French. He didn’t like ardent Flem­ish nation­al­ists BUT he had a lot of nice things to say about Flem­ings. Even sang in Flem­ish, occa­sion­ally. As a mat­ter of fact, yes­ter­day i heard the Flem­sih ver­sion of “Ne me quitte pas”: “Laat me niet alleen”. What I like most is Mon plat pays/Mijn valkke land. Marvellous.I think Brel was one of the few real Bel­gians. Nei­ther Flem­ing nor Wal­loon. It’s a weird coun­try. But I like it too, in spite of everything.Outlaw Mike | Email | Home­page | 03.15.06 — 1:35 pm | # Tsk tsk. Mon plat pays = “Mijn vlakke land”. “vlak” being flat.Outlaw Mike | Email | Home­page | 03.15.06 — 1:36 pm | # It really sucks that Muk­tadar al Sadr is get­ting every­one down, but you have to con­sider all the wasted oppor­tu­ni­ties. By invad­ing Iraq we lifted everyone’s spir­its to their zenith, includ­ing the for­eign fight­ers and sad­dam loy­al­ists only to later crush those of the com­mon peo­ple. As I have read from some of the blog­gers on Iraq, there are things being done. The forces of moder­nity being forced on the Iraqi peo­ple unfor­tu­nately has led to the aggre­ga­tion of rad­i­cal­ism. I don’t know what to do, I don’t think we can save the world any­more. If Amer­ica had ideals we would have stood up for Tibet before that con­flict ended with assim­i­la­tion by the Chi­nese. US for­eign pol­icy just ain’t what it used to be.You may think we had balls to take on a dic­ta­tor, but I think it takes more balls to go the peace­ful route. It’s not just one quick action but a great deter­mi­na­tion and risks that are unde­ni­ably worth it.Our col­lec­tive penis is small, but keep the lov­ing com­ing on the seaside.DC Peaches | Email | Home­page | 03.16.06 — 3:15 pm | # I admit that some­thing needs to be done to change dynam­ics but any­one that believes the US action was/is right­eous is highly dilu­sional.
