More remarks on the depopulation of the Green Zone

April 3, 2008
The lead editorial in AlQuds alArabi this morning lists a number of reasons why Bush’s "good-news honeymoon" in Iraq is ending, including the sudden increase in deaths in the statistics for the month of March, the failure of Maliki to weaken the Sadrists, and what the editorialist calls the danger of a split in the Sadrist ranks, with one group devoting itself to combating the occupation forces. Then the editorialist says this:
But the most important phenomenon, which overshadows most of the other developments in Iraq, is the exposure of the Green Zone, the most secure location in Iraq, to daily rocket bombardments, something that has motivated many diplomats and journalists and parliamentarians who went there seeking safety, to flee from the Green Zone to outside of Iraq, following the fall of a large number of injured persons in this attack.
Note that this is a little different from the news reports in AlArab and AlQuds AlArabi itself, which talked about moving to safer locations within Iraq (the AlQuds news report referred to moves by American Embassy people to the big American base at the Baghdad Airport), not moving out of the country altogether.

In any event, the editorialist doesn’t get into the question who is responsible for the rocket and mortar attacks on the Green Zone, but he does note the following:
The Maliki government is now fighting against two fronts: A Shiite resistance front represented by the Sadrist trend, and the Sunni resistance front, grouped around a number of banners, including Islamist and nationalist organizations. And there is AlQaeda among them. What this means is that it [the Maliki government] has suddenly lost its reason for being.
The latter remark meaning: The government not only doesn’t have Sunni support, but now it has forfeited the supposed majority Shiite support that was its reason for being, and instead it now faces a double-barreled resistance, from both sides.
Arab reports on the Green Zone exodus so far:
AlArab on Monday and Tuesday March 31 and April 1, noted here, and here.
AlQuds alArabi front page today Wednesday April 2, noted here.
And this AlQuds AlArabi editorial, also today, noted above.

Hoping that our forces leave Iraq soon is rooting FOR our country. Taking our brave underpaid armed forces out of there is the best thing we can do for them and us.

America is a whore which thinks it lovers will support her, but these will as John the revelator saw
“these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.”

As these U.S. Federal/State congresspersons misrepresented our American governments to bring us “We, the American people!”, into Harm’sWay, and as Federal and State laws which they mean to demolish mandate their deaths, the confiscation of all their properties and financial accounts without recourse, as the destruction of Americans, the wreckage of this American Republic and the ruin of our American governments are ‘Terrorist Acts’ that can not be shielded by Executive Privileges, isn’t it time to exact the laws which these animals don’t have the decency to respect or to represent, without recourse before they drag us one and all into the path of total perdition? -Al Koppel.

watching the 50 star swastika burn in the breeze fills me with a tremendous joy,
I’m reminded of the excitement of my youth, the night before christmas,
when i see that dreaded 50 star swastika on fire, burn, buring, streamers of flames,
burn, burn you 50 star swastika,
Replaced by the New, the True, the Beautiful 13 Star Flag.
13 Stripes
13 Stars
Stars in a Circle
In the Center of the Circle, The Eagle
Carrying 13 Arrows and the Olive Branch.

Hey knightmare, you’re no better than a Stalinist, a Nazi or a Maoist with that line of thinking. Never be ashamed that you’re an American, because it’s bad enough I’m ashamed you’re an American. People like you piss all over the proud heritage of our nation with that kind of drooling word-drivel. You belong licking Kim Jong Il’s boots instead of posing under the Stars and Stripes.

American newspapers haven’t said anything about this, goes to show you how our MSM is bought and paid for. They are leaving because there isn’t a defense against incoming mortars. Oh there is an offense against them, but that requries the US in shooting back artillery and bombs into a heavily populated area. Don’t be thinking that mortars and artillery aren’t effective, they are. Many times it’s psychological (not knowing when the hit will occur) and/or accuracy (the Shiites must have been casing the GreenZone all this time.
