Residents emerge after Baghdad lockdown

By HAMZA HENDAWI, Associated Press Writer 3 minutes ago

BAGHDAD - Residents emerged from their homes Sunday at the end of a four-day lockdown and found themselves caught in traffic spawned by hundreds of new police and army checkpoints.


Many wondered if the extra security and the curfew imposed after last week's bombing of a major Shiite shrine had only created inconvenience and delayed an inevitable explosion of revenge attacks.

"The militias will still take revenge, today or tomorrow," said agricultural materials merchant Nasser Ali Jaber, a 56-year-old Shiite father of three.

Three U.S. soldiers were killed Saturday in explosions near their vehicles — two in Baghdad and one in Kirkuk province, the U.S. military reported. The deaths raised to 3,524 the number of U.S. service members who have died since the war began, according to an Associated Press count.

Grass Bush

Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad
And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Mossoul and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the grass bush.
Let me work.
