More bombings in Bagdad. More civilians killed. More soldiers killed. Just another day.
Israel troops shot at a group of little Palestinian girls who were protesting the occupation of their home land, with rubber coated steel bullets. They also fired tear gas at the group to break up these dangerous radicals. They only injured 3 of them.
There is a report that Rumsfield did not take the advice of the Pentagon for the appropriate number of troops needed for this war. Dejavu, this is just how the Vietnam war was managed. It was run by politicians, not the generals. If this continues and Rummy continues to ignore the advice of the Pentagon, we will be in it for a quite a while.
Iran and Syria are both being warned not to interfere with this war. if they enter Iraq they will be treated as combatants. I also heard one news report that there were many ex-Iraquis going back home to fight the American invaders. I only saw one report on this so it may or may not be true, but it would not surprise me. There are thousands of pissed off Arabs all around Iraq.
The ground assault is being put on hold until more supplies can reach the troops. Bush is denying the fact that the war is off schedule, he keeps saying it everytime he gets a chance. I guess he figures that if he says it often enough we will believe it. It worked with selling the idea of invading Iraq to begin with, so he must figure the same approach of constant repitition will work again. Tune in tomorrow for more low lights. By the way, we are at condition Orange Plus I think.
