U.S. Occupation, Chieftain Create 3,000-Strong Militia In Iraq

Your tax dollars at work - Bush's new death squads: U.S. Occupation, Chieftain Create 3,000-Strong Militia In Iraq 23 Jan 2006 A 3,000-strong militia has been created in the resistance stronghold of Ramadi, central Iraq, to 'protect' civilians from 'insurgent' violence, a tribal chieftain in surrounding Anbar province told Adnkronos International (AKI), speaking on condition of anonymity. "The formation of the new militia was decided in conjunction with the US-led coalition, and is aimed at protecting people in the area and repelling (fomenting) terrorist elements," the chieftain said.

3. Send the US troops/Halliburton trolls/assorted overpaid mercenaries...

and the rest of the US occupation home - the whole kit and caboodle.
As to the ramifications of a quick pull-out --I really don't care, as the Bush regime is only making a bad situation worse.

4. Maybe that's the plan

turn over authority to what ever Iraq forces on the ground, and pull out in time for the November congressional elections.

5. Right, Halliburton/Blackwater USA have made their billions...

plus, they received extra millions for the New Orleans 'rebuild'/police state implementation, so they should be satisfied until Bush's next terror attack.
